In brief - While landowners may benefit from establishing a
biodiversity stewardship site on their land, close consideration
needs to be given to the process and requirements
If you own a rural property you may have heard something about
"biobanking" or "biodiversity stewardship
sites". Equally, you might just be wondering why the
government would pay you good money for native scrub suitable for
raising goats, feral pigs and not much else... What's the
catch? What's required? How can you, as a landowner,
benefit?
New changes in the law - introduction of the Biodiversity
Offsets Scheme
The
Biodiversity Conservation Act 2016 (BC Act) and
accompanying regulations commenced in August 2017.
