Landari Tasmania 2022

ERF175654

Project Information:

Landari Tasmania 2022 is a plantation forestry project located across multiple sites, with the closest areas situated roughly 25km northeast of Launceston and extending down through the Central Highlands and east to the Break O'Day region in Tasmania. It was registered in October 2022 and initially covers 974.44 hectares. In July 2026, a variation to the project occurred, officially adding new land areas to its boundaries.

Plantation forestry projects under the 2022 methodology sequester carbon by establishing new plantations, maintaining existing ones, or converting short-rotation forests into long-rotation forests. A standard requirement is to plant and maintain commercial tree species at a sufficient stocking density to achieve forest cover (typically at least 20% canopy cover), and carbon abatement is calculated based on the net increase in carbon stocks over a baseline scenario. This specific project sequesters carbon by converting an existing short-rotation plantation forest into a long-rotation plantation forest meant for the commercial harvesting of long-term wood products.

The Tasmanian regions encompassing the project, including the Northern Midlands and Central Highlands, are highly regarded for their commercial timber production, mixed farming, and sheep grazing operations. The climate in these areas provides a cool-temperate environment with moderate to high rainfall, which is ideal for forestry. Soils generally consist of fertile basalts, ferrosols, and podzolic clay loams that offer excellent moisture retention to support dense and rapid tree growth.

The project is managed by the proponent Landari Pty Ltd, a specialist carbon and biodiversity offset developer based in Armidale, New South Wales. Landari operates a large and diverse portfolio of plantation forestry projects across Australia, frequently partnering with regional landowners to transition traditional short-term timber properties into longer rotations. This strategy allows for the generation of Australian Carbon Credit Units (ACCUs) over a 25-year permanence period alongside future commercial timber revenues.
