Frequently Asked Questions
Do I have to purchase the exact credit type Im am impact on my development site?
The answer to this is no for Plant Community Types (PCT’s) and yes for species credits. The like for like rules apply to the offset trading groups for PCT’s. Offset Trading Groups (OTGs) are groups of PCT’s with the same vegetation class and threat status. The group could have many PCT’s that fall within this group, therefore opening up options for developers when looking to satisfy there ecosystem credit obligations.
What is an SAII and why is this impacting my development application?
An SAII is a serious and irreversible impact, affecting a threatened species or community. The threatened species that this applies to have been determine by the fact that the species is already in rapid rate of decline, have a small population size, a have limited geographic range and that the species is unlikely to respond to measures to help the threatened species or community recover. This could be impacting you development application because there has not been enough effort to show avoidance of this species or community. Avoidance is always the starting point, then mitigation measures and lastly offsets.
How do I know if my potential stewardship site is worth doing?
The best way to understand if your potential stewardship site is worth doing, commercially viable, would be to have a desktop feasibility assessment conducted for the site. The type of information you need to know would be: what credits could be generated, both ecosystem and species credits, are these credits in demand by developers at the moment, what is the likely credit yield, what is the credit sale price, what other costs do a i need to understand and how do I sell my credits. Also if I establish a stewardship site, what management obligations do I have and over what time period. A desktop feasibility assessment would be the starting point to have these questions answered, and allow you to make an informed decision before committing significant funds to establishing a stewardship site.
