Southern Myotis Bat Species Credits
The Southern Myotis Bat is a species of microbat which can be found in the coastal band from the north- west of Australia, across the top end and south to western Victoria. It is typically found in coastal areas, within 100 km of the coast, although it can be found inland along major rivers. The Southern Myotis Bat generally roosts close to water and can be found in caves, mine shafts, hollow- bearing trees, stormwater channels, buildings, under bridges and in dense foliage. They forage over streams and pools and catch insects and fish by raking their feet across the surface.
Developers or entities who are clearing vegetation or impacting native wildlife e.g Myotis species habitats, are required to secure biodiversity offset credits. To offset the impact of development on the species, Developers can acquire species credits on Biodiversity Stewardship sites, under the Biodiversity Offsets Scheme. The Biodiversity Conservation Regulation 2017 contains offset rules governing how these offset obligations can be met.
Delta Associates hold Southern Myotis Bat biobanking credits, available across stewardship sites in the Hunter Valley. For more information, review our FAQs below or enquire today about available credits.

Frequently Asked Questions
Sourthern Mytosis habitats span across multiple sites in the Hunter Valley, making it an ideal stewardship area for species credits. If you require biobanking credits for Myotis bats or other species, contact Delta Associates today for stewardship solutions across the Hunter Valley.
After quantifying the Biobanking Ecological Impact of your project, you can confirm with us the suitability of our available NSW Species Credits for your project. We have a number of Southern Myotis bat credits available under the biobanking scheme, and can guide you through the purchasing process. Contact us today to confirm credit purchase and transfer options.
Species credits are created for threatened species that cannot be reliably predicted using habitat surrogates. The number of species credits is calculated based on targeted survey reports. For more information, enquire today for consultation and advice.
If a landholder decides to generate biodiversity credits (by signing up to a biodiversity stewardship agreement) they can sell those credits to developers to offset the biodiversity impacts of the development proposal. Alternatively, government or philanthropic organisations may choose to purchase the credits to secure biodiversity protections for the site.
The sale price for these credits will be negotiated on a case by case basis by the landholder and the credit buyer. As a minimum, the price must include the costs of managing the stewardship site.
