This consultation is now closed. We have published the outcomes on this page.

We’re seeking feedback on our proposed improvements to the Australian Carbon Credit Unit (ACCU) Scheme project and contract register. This consultation aims to ensure the proposed changes meet data user needs.

Background

We will be undertaking work to improve the content and presentation of the ACCU Scheme project and contract register in 2026. This includes:

Your feedback will be used to:

ensure the register best supports scheme transparency
make scheme data accessible and useful for scheme stakeholders
inform the development of other scheme registers we publish, including the Biodiversity Market Register and the Guarantee of Origin Register.

We are particularly seeking feedback from frequent data users of the register.

We received 9 responses during the consultation period.

Overall, submissions supported improving accessibility, usability and transparency of the ACCU Scheme project and contract register.

There was support for publishing:

the register as a relational data model while continuing to publish the current flat file structure
geospatial information in a consistent format with at least one common file type across all geospatial files
more guidance and interpretative material
information that is consistent across different views of the project and contract register as well as with other agency registers
register data from our website to a national platform, such as Digital Atlas, ensuring data published on our website remains the authoritative source and that there is consistency of publication timelines
monthly ACCU issuance data, ideally providing some back history of data.
