NSW Biodiversity Offsets Scheme Bill Senate Inquiry Submission

The Wentworth Group has made this submission to the NSW Planning and Environment Portfolio Committee’s inquiry into the Biodiversity Conservation Amendment (Biodiversity Offsets Scheme Bill 2024.

The Wentworth Group is of the position that much more sweeping reforms to the Biodiversity Offsets Scheme are needed than have been put forward in the Bill currently before Parliament, as detailed in multiple reviews of the scheme to date. However, this submission focuses on recommending a number of key changes to build on the contents of the current Bill.
