Recommendation 29
29
Establish comprehensive, publicly accessible register of BNG assets, investors, and credit owners by February 2026.
Recommendation
We recommend that not later than 12 February 2026—the start of the next biodiversity net gain reporting year—the Government establish a comprehensive and publicly accessible register of: • the location of onsite and offsite assets being developed under statutory provision for biodiversity net gain; • the identity of investors in such assets, and • the identity of the owners of statutory biodiversity credits issued by Government. Such a register will provide improved transparency. (Recommendation, Paragraph 151)
