AGL welcomes the opportunity to contribute to the Operating the Nature Repair Market (NRM) Discussion Paper.

This discussion paper seeks feedback on the rules that will support the operation of the NRM, including:

• biodiversity projects and their registration
• biodiversity Certificates and their content
• the Register
• assurance and compliance, including biodiversity project reports, audits, and notification.

AGL’s submission to this consultation broadly supports environmental reforms underway, and the NRM’s aim to provide positive outcomes to biodiversity. However, we outline some concerns around the sequencing of legislation, operation of the scheme, and lack of clarity around scheme outcomes and performance measures.
