Overview The NSW Ecosystem Offset Trading Group Map is a regional scale map of candidate non-threatened Ecosystem Offset Trading Groups as defined under the NSW Biodiversity Offset Scheme. The map covers all of NSW. The mapped Offset Trading Groups are generated by a direct translation of the NSW State Vegetation Type Map (SVTM vC2.0.M2.1) according to the Biodiversity Assessment Method Table 5. This map is updated in response to annual updates to the NSW State Vegetation Type Map or other relevant information. Key Fields:

'OTG_Name' – Offset Trading Group 'SUB_NAME_7' – Sub IBRA Bioregion 'OTGSUBIBRA' – A concatenation of the Offset Trading Group and the Sub IBRA Bioregion

New version C2.0M2.1OTG1.0 (not yet available for public release - expected March 2025) This release includes removal of areas previously mapped as "Not Offset Trading Group", defined as:

parts of NSW currently considered ineligible for Biodiversity Stewardship Agreements, areas mapped as "Not classified" under the SVTM.

Limitations on Use

The map is derived from regional scale mapping of Plant Community Types and should not be used for local or property scale decisions. Planning or investment decisions at the property scale should be supported by ground assessment using the NSW Biodiversity Assessment Method (BAM). The map does not include Offset Trading Groups for threatened ecological community (TEC) Ecosystem credit types. The map does not describe which Offset Trading Groups are currently in demand
