Enquire About This AssessmentIs this service right for me?
An early-stage desktop assessment for NSW landholders considering a Biodiversity Stewardship Agreement. We screen your property's potential biodiversity credit opportunities, likely constraints and indicative commercial prospects before you commit to detailed field surveys.
Typically a good fit if...
- You own native vegetation in NSW and want to explore biodiversity credit opportunities
- You want an initial view of potential plant community types and credit yields
- You need to understand likely market demand and the next steps before commissioning a formal assessment
May not be right for you if...
- You need a formal BAM-C credit calculation or accredited biodiversity assessment
- You require guaranteed credit volumes, prices or approval outcomes
- You are seeking a completed Biodiversity Stewardship Agreement rather than initial feasibility
From initial feasibility to a potential BSA
A staged process helps identify promising opportunities and material constraints before undertaking more costly ecological assessments and regulatory steps.
Understand the opportunity before committing
Our desktop analysis brings together ecological mapping, indicative credit estimates and market intelligence to help landholders decide whether a formal BSA assessment is worth pursuing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Most people start with a desktop assessment to confirm eligibility, likely credit yield ranges, key risks, and indicative economics before investing further. If you already have a clear pathway and need structured planning to move forward, a farm planning / natural capital economics engagement may be the better next step.
A desktop assessment is an early-stage feasibility review completed using spatial datasets, published information, and market context—without an on-farm site visit. It helps you make a go/no-go decision and understand the next steps required for a compliant project.
You’ll receive a clear written summary of findings and recommendations, supporting maps (where relevant), and a practical discussion of options and next steps. Deliverables vary by service, but are designed to help you decide and plan with confidence.
Desktop assessments are completed without an on-farm visit. If you proceed into later-stage project development, field validation may be recommended and can be scoped separately depending on the pathway and requirements.
No. Credit outcomes and revenue depend on eligibility, baseline conditions, project design, regulator rules, and market dynamics. Renovo Ag provides evidence-based estimates and decision support, not guarantees.
