Overview

Methods are legislative instruments that set out how Nature Repair Market projects must be carried out.

We’re collaborating with technical experts and partner organisations to progress a number of methods for the Nature Repair Market. See our website for further information.

This page lists technical engagement workshops and consultations on method development run by the department.

The Nature Repair Committee also conducts consultation to inform their advice to the Minister on methods. The Committee’s formal consultation on the first method (Replanting native forest and woodland ecosystems) closed on 30 October 2024. You can view consultation documents and submissions on the Committee’s consultation page.

Cross-sector methods workshops

We held a cross-sectoral Nature Repair Methods Workshop was held 2 November 2023. Stakeholders from multiple disciplines and locations provided feedback on the needs of the market, key method design elements and the method development process.
