Apply for a biodiversity stewardship agreement

A biodiversity stewardship agreement enables biodiversity credits to be generated, which can be sold to fund the management of weeds, pests, fire, and ecological restoration.

 

Application forms can be completed electronically (including signatures) or printed out. All landowners need to sign the form. 

Your completed application form (electronic or scanned hard copy) can be sent by email or through the Biodiversity Offsets and Agreement Management System (BOAMS).

You can also email the Taskforce to get access to a shared folder to upload GIS shapefiles and JPEG maps, or for assistance completing the application form.
