Nature Repair Market: Ongoing development

On this page

Overview

We develop market policy and methods. To do this we engage with, and collaborate with, technical experts, partner organisations and market stakeholders. We do this at workshops and via consultations.

Previous consultations and workshops

Rules amendments - Exposure draft of legislation

We consulted on an exposure draft of the instrument Nature Repair Amendment (Environmental Offsets and Market Integrity) Rules 2026 (Amendment Rules) in July 2026.

The release of the exposure draft followed consultation on proposed Market settings in April 2026.

Consultation on updates to Market settings

The government’s environmental law reform package passed on 28 November 2025. It included some changes to the Nature Repair Act 2023. The change allows for methods under the Nature Repair Market to specify whether projects can be used as environmental offsets.

In May 2026, we sought feedback on 3 issues papers outlining our intended approach to amend some Market settings that would apply to offset-capable projects, and to support integrity and administration.

1. Policy settings to enable the Market to supply environmental offsets

2. Supporting threatened species and threatened ecological communities in Nature Repair Market projects

3. Rules to support Market integrity and administration
