The Government has established the Native Vegetation Credit Register. This oversees the registration, listing, extinguishing, and quality control of native vegetation credits. The buying and selling of native vegetation credits, including matching credits to specific requirements such as offsetting, will be undertaken by the owners and buyers of credits or their agents.
The registration of native vegetation credits is subject to specific conditions including a secure and on-going agreement between the landowner and a public agency. Agreements to establish native vegetation credits require a management plan outlining the establishment and ongoing maintenance of the native vegetation credits. The agreements will be registered on land titles.
The listing of native vegetation credits through BushBroker establishes a statewide database of native vegetation credits. Potential buyers of credits will be able to search the database for credits that match the characteristics they require.
A credit can only be used as an offset once. After a credit is accepted as an offset, it is extinguished from the Native Vegetation Credit register.
