Opportunity explorer
Illustrative, not an offerRestoration and protection opportunities the regional NRM network has already brought forward across the intensive land use zone, by environmental value and bioregion, and how to ask for a match to your project.
Five supply regions, from the Geraldton Sandplains to the Esperance Plains.

A tick marks a value carried by at least one opportunity a regional NRM organisation has already brought forward in that bioregion. A Rangelands portfolio is being assembled.
Every opportunity is surveyed, scoped and qualified before it is matched to a defined impact and pathway.
Real sites to start from, built out to the scale you need.
Each is put forward as high value by its regional NRM organisation and screened through the Bank's qualification process. Each is a starting point: once engaged, the network originates and screens neighbouring land quickly, so a site can be built out to the scale an obligation needs. Each is a candidate, not a commitment.

Opportunities also come through Traditional Owner organisations, local government, Landcare groups, conservation organisations, researchers and private landholders; the Bank matches them, designs the pathway and adds supply where the affected values, geography or approval pathway require.
Every obligation draws on the same land, seed and delivery crews.
Demand
More offset conditions sit on the Swan Coastal Plain than in any other bioregion in the State, and the projects now in approvals add to them as their conditions are set. Those coordinated earliest have the widest range of options.
Your critical path
With referral inside a year, the package for your assessment needs to come together now.
The season
Baseline condition surveys run in the spring window, September to November. Commissioned in spring, the baseline is taken that season; after November it waits for the next.
Priority
Engaging at Stage 1 locks your project into the Bank's prioritisation: the network works your candidate bundle and keeps sourcing land to fit your requirement. Opportunities are matched in the order proponents commit.
Tell us the value, the geography and the timetable.
We come back with a match note: the candidate opportunities near your impact, how they keep your timetable, and the next step.
The earlier the engagement, the more opportunities to deliver net gain.
