Landari Tasmania 2022

ERF175654

Project Information:

Landari Tasmania 2022 is a plantation forestry project located across multiple parcels in Tasmania, with the northernmost sections situated near Launceston and other areas stretching south and east into the Northern Midlands, Central Highlands, and Break O'Day regions. It was registered in October 2022 and later underwent a variation to expand the total project area in July 2026.

Plantation forestry projects under the 2022 methodology generate carbon credits by establishing new plantations, transitioning to permanent forests, or converting from short to long rotations. This specific project sequesters carbon by converting an existing short-rotation plantation forest to a long-rotation forest for the commercial harvesting of wood products. This approach ensures that carbon is stored for a longer duration, both within the standing trees and eventually in long-lived harvested timber products (such as sawlogs) rather than short-lived pulp or paper.

The diverse regions encompassing the project are heavily utilized for commercial timber operations, dry sclerophyll forest conservation, and extensive livestock grazing. These areas typically experience a cool temperate climate with moderate to high rainfall. The varied geology across these Tasmanian regions predominantly yields fertile but stony clay-loam and podzolic soils, which are highly suitable for supporting robust hardwood and softwood growth.

The project is managed by Landari Pty Ltd, a specialist Australian carbon offsets developer that manages a large portfolio of plantation and vegetation assets across the country. By shifting the forestry regime to a long rotation, the project proponent not only increases the carbon storage capacity of the landscape but also contributes to the supply of durable construction timber.
