counterfactual scenario for the project is not a static counterfactual scenario:
 (i) has determined the forecast change in each indicator for ecosystem condition for each of the activity area as a result of the activities of the project, taking into account the counterfactual scenario for the project; and
 (ii) has calculated the forecast change in the aggregate ecosystem condition score for the project, taking into account the counterfactual scenario for the project;
 (g) has provided evidence that the project is likely to result in the forecast value of each indicator for ecosystem condition for each of the activity area and, if applicable, the forecast change in each of the indicators; and
 (h) has calculated each of the following:
 (i) the starting aggregate ecosystem condition score for the project;
 (ii) the forecast aggregate ecosystem condition score for the project.
 (3) If a methodology determination specifies processes or requirements that must be complied with in relation to determining any of the matters in subsection (1) or (2), a biodiversity project covered by the methodology determination must not be registered unless the project proponent for the project has complied with those processes or requirements in determining those matters.
Calculating starting aggregate condition scores etc.
 (4) A methodology determination must, for the purposes of subsections (1) and (2), specify the processes that must be undertaken, or the requirements that must be met, to calculate the following for the project, project area or each activity area (as the case may be):
 (a) the starting ecosystem condition score;
 (b) the forecast ecosystem condition score;
 (c) the starting aggregate ecosystem condition score;
 (d) the forecast aggregate ecosystem condition score;
 (e) if applicable—the forecast change in the aggregate ecosystem condition score.
 (5) Without limiting subsection (4), the methodology determination must specify:
 (a) any assumptions that must be used; and
 (b) any limitations or other parameters that must apply; and
 (c) the quantitative scoring system that must be used; and
 (d) any evidence that must be provided to support the calculations; and
 (e) if a counterfactual scenario for a project is not static counterfactual scenario—how the counterfactual scenario should be taken into account.
Information relating to ecosystem condition to be included in Register entry
 (6) A methodology determination must require registered biodiversity projects that are covered by the methodology determination to include the following in the entry in the Register for the project:
 (a) the starting aggregate ecosystem condition score for the project;
 (b) the forecast aggregate ecosystem condition score for the project;
 (c) the starting value for each indicator for ecosystem condition for the project area or each activity area (as the case may be);
 (d) the starting ecosystem condition score for the project area or each activity
