Biodiversity Credit Exchange

Land managers in two areas (see maps below) of Eyre Peninsula have had an opportunity to diversify their income and improve biodiversity with the Biodiversity Credit Exchange (BCE) opening up to the region.

This program is being delivered by the Department for Environment and Water (DEW) and the Eyre Peninsula Landscape Board on behalf of the Native Vegetation Council (NVC).

This program gives eligible land managers access to funding to manage and protect areas of native vegetation on their land to generate biodiversity credits. The program will target sites of high conservation value. Land managers in the eligible area were able to apply to be part of the program in July 2022 (now closed).

See a case study of a SEB offset from Coulta on lower Eyre Peninsula. In this case study, the process is slightly more involved than for those who took up the opportunity to be involved in the BCE.
