The NFF supports the development of a transparent information source and biodiversity assessment capability for the Nature Repair Market that is aligned to support a range of market methodologies. It is essential that the Nature Repair Committee maintain a priority focus on undertaking work to deliver EKS coverage across all of Australia. This will ensure that the web-based Platform for Land and Nature Repair (PLANR) management tool is available for use for all landholders including interested proponents for methodologies where use of the EKS to forecast expected project biodiversity benefits is mandated (i.e., the proposed Replanting Native Forest and Woodland Ecosystems methodology). Further, significant time and attention should be dedicated to ensuring the EKS is continuously refined with the support and input of regional expertise. These measures executed together support best-practice implementation and market operation.
