See here for an example of the interesting work they do: http://www.dse.vic.gov.au/conservation-and-environment/biodiversity/rural-landscapes/native-vegetation-exchange-trial
"The Native Vegetation Exchange (NVX) is an online system which matches buyers and sellers of Native Vegetation Credits.
These credits are highly sought after by developers who are required to offset any clearings by protecting and preserving native vegetation of a similar extent and/or quality elsewhere.
DSE’s BushBroker scheme has established a market for valuing native vegetation by generating and trading native vegetation offsets.
The NVX builds on this scheme by automating the matching process and providing a convenient online system for buyers and sellers of Native Vegetation Credits."
And here for a paper on the program: http://excen.gsu.edu/plott.pdf

Hi Alvin, there is increasing interest in the Austrlian government in market design. There is a project that probably requires a matching solution so your phone will probably ring soon.
Everyone (including me) wishes you applied for the job, Al, now they have to get by with me ;-)
