Note: See paragraph 45(1)(c) of the Act and also information required to be included by the Rules.

For paragraph 162(1)(k) of the Act, the additional information to be set out on the Register for a replanting project is the following: (a) a description of the stratification of the project area into activity areas and any sub-areas, and a map and geospatial data of the project area that: (i) shows the activity areas and any sub-areas that are within the project area; and (ii) is consistent with the Mapping Guidelines; Framework of replanting project (b) that, as provided in section 10, the project outcome is intended to be achieved within 25 years after the initial plantings; (c) the counterfactual scenario for a replanting project set out in section 9; (d) that the variable biodiversity project characteristics mentioned in subsection 13(2) of the BAI are not applicable to a replanting project: Note: These are the following: (a) the removal or reduction of the impact of threats to biodiversity in native species in the project area; (b) the commitment to protection of biodiversity in native species in the project area; (c) the capability of the project area to support threatened species. (e) the site assessment report; (f) the descriptions of the reference ecosystems for each activity area in accordance with subsection 46(4); (g) the starting ecosystem condition state for each activity area; (h) the starting values for each indicator for ecosystem condition for each activity area; (i) the project outcome; (j) information relating to the level of commitment to protection of biodiversity in native species in the project area; Restoration targets and threshold values for ecosystem condition (k) the nominated restoration target levels for ecosystem condition for each activity area; (l) the threshold value for each indicator for ecosystem condition for each activity area, in accordance with Schedule 7; (m) if the threshold value for an indicator for ecosystem condition has been met: (i) a statement to that effect; and (ii) evidence supporting that statement; (n) information on progress towards the nominated restoration targets for each of the indicators for ecosystem condition; Culturally significant entities, restoration targets and threshold values (o) if the project plan has not nominated a culturally significant entity—a statement that culturally significant entities are not applicable to the replanting project; (p) if the project plan has nominated a culturally significant entity as relevant to the project, for each culturally significant entity: (i) to the extent that the relevant persons for the culturally significant entity have consented to the inclusion on the Register of the following information: (A) the nominated culturally significant entity; (B) the identified indicators for the culturally significant entity; (C) the starting values for each indicator for the culturally significant entity; (D) the nominated restoration target for each indicator; (E) the threshold value for each indicator; (F) information on progress of the project toward the nominated restoration target for each indicator provided in the most recent biodiversity project report submitted to the Regulator, and the end date of the relevant reporting period; and (ii) if the relevant persons for the culturally significant entity have not consented to the inclusion of information mentioned in subparagraph (i), as appropriate: (A) a statement that there are one or more culturally significant entities that are relevant for the project; and (B) a statement that there is a threshold value and a nominated restoration target for each indicator for the culturally significant entity; (iii) whether the progress of the project towards the nominated restoration target for each indicator for the culturally significant entity has been verified by the relevant persons for the culturally significant entity; (q) if the threshold value for an indicator for a culturally significant entity has been met: (i) a statement to that effect; and (ii) evidence that the relevant persons for the culturally significant entity have verified that the threshold value has been met; and (iii) if the relevant persons for the culturally significant entity have consented to including such information—evidence supporting the statement that the threshold value has been met. Reference ecosystems and ecosystem scores (r) the starting aggregate ecosystem condition score for the project; (s) the forecast aggregate ecosystem condition score for the project; (t) the starting values of the indicators for ecosystem condition for each activity area; (u) the starting ecosystem condition score for each activity area; (v) the forecast ecosystem condition score for each activity area; (w) the starting contribution to biodiversity persistence score for each activity area; (x) the forecast contribution to biodiversity persistence score for each activity area; (y) the starting aggregate contribution to biodiversity persistence score for the project; (z) the forecast aggregate contribution to biodiversity persistence score for the project.
