01
What grows on your land
Every plant community type mapped on the lot, its area, and whether it is an endangered ecological community. Only mapped native vegetation counts toward the estimate.

Biodiversity Value & Market Report
What could your land produce in biodiversity credits, and is there a buyer for them? An early, plain-English read before you spend on a full assessment.

Inside the report
Six questions, answered for your land
Panels from a de-identified sample report. Figures are for one NSW property and are indicative.
02
What a credit is actually worth
There is no single price. For each trading group on your land, the report reads the Biodiversity Conservation Fund charge, a generic estimate, recorded sales and the last recorded sale.
03
Whether there is a buyer
Demand set against the credits already listed for sale, split by how firm each buyer is. A paper buyer and a funded one are not the same thing.
04
Where the value sits
An indicative credit value range for your land, and which vegetation drives it, priced to the demand position of each trading group.
05
Whether a stewardship agreement looks viable
A viability score where the land qualifies to be scored, with the ecological context reported either way.
06
What happens next
The path from this screening report to a credit sale, and the questions to ask an accredited assessor before you commit.
Be clear on this
What it is not
It is a preliminary screening tool, and the figures are indicative.
The credits a site can actually sell are set by a Biodiversity Assessment Method (BAM) assessment, carried out by an accredited assessor. This report helps you decide whether that step is worth paying for.
It is not legal or financial advice.
Before you pay
Not every property qualifies
The report needs native vegetation that trades in the NSW biodiversity credit market.
If your land has none, we will tell you before you pay.

Common questions
What is the Biodiversity Value & Market Report?
A desktop screening report on a NSW property. It maps the native vegetation and plant community types on the land, reads what similar biodiversity credits have sold for and whether buyers are seeking them, and gives an indicative credit value range.
Is it a Biodiversity Assessment Method (BAM) assessment?
No. It is a preliminary screening tool. The credits a site can actually sell are set by a BAM assessment carried out by an accredited assessor. The report helps you decide whether that step is worth paying for.
Does every property qualify?
No. The report needs native vegetation that trades in the NSW biodiversity credit market. If your land has none, we will tell you before you pay.
How much does it cost?
Early reports are scoped one property at a time. We confirm the scope and price with you before anything is ordered.
Who prepares the report?
MapCheck (Map Check Pty Ltd), NSW property intelligence built from 140+ government datasets across 128 LGAs.
