AKD-3 VIC 2022

AKD-3 VIC 2022 is a plantation forestry project located near Towong, approximately 11km northeast of Corryong in the Upper Murray region of Victoria. It was registered in July 2023 and covers 258.19ha.

Plantation forestry projects sequester carbon by establishing new plantations, maintaining existing ones, or converting short-rotation plantations to long-rotation forests for commercial wood harvesting. This project specifically avoids the conversion of an existing or harvested plantation to non-forested land by continuing the plantation for the commercial harvesting of wood products.

The Upper Murray region is known for extensive pine and native forestry operations, as well as beef and dairy farming. The area is situated in a high-rainfall zone, and the local terrain generally consists of fertile loams, sandy loams, and clay soils.

The project is operated by Associated Kiln Driers Pty Limited, commonly known as AKD Softwoods, a major Australian forestry and timber processing company. The project was originally registered under the participant name Landari Pty Ltd, but a variation was made in November 2023 to update the proponent. Additionally, the project's name was updated from Landari AKD-3 VIC 2022 to AKD-3 VIC 2022 in March 2026.
