EDO welcomes the opportunity to make a submission on the Biodiversity Conservation
Amendment (Biodiversity Offsets Scheme) Bill 2024. This Bill (together with other relevant reforms
set out in the NSW Plan for Nature) is intended to deliver on the Labor Government’s commitment
to ‘fix the Biodiversity Offsets Scheme’ (BOS).
Generally, we support the intention of the Bill and welcome many of the proposed changes. Our
submission highlights areas of the Bill that could be further strengthened and flags areas where
further clarification and scrutiny is needed.
