In-demand Credits Map
To check if your property is located within an area with significant current or upcoming demand for biodiversity credits, use the In-demand Credits Map to search for your address.
Credits Near Me NSW app
Credits Near Me NSW is a mobile and web-based application that allows users to spatially identify the types of biodiversity credits in potential supply and demand across New South Wales at a regional scale. It provides a quick and easy way for:
- landholders to discover the potential credit types on their land and if they are in demand
- developers to understand where credit obligations could be met.
Users can search by their location, street address or lot, and deposited plan (DP). The application requires internet connectivity. Developers can also search for potential like-for-like offset locations by plant community type or offset trading group.
Native Vegetation Regulatory map
The Native Vegetation Regulatory map of New South Wales is a tool that landholders can use when considering how best to manage native vegetation on their land. It designates areas of land where clearing native vegetation is categorised as regulated or exempt.
A staged release of the draft Native Vegetation Regulatory map is underway.
