Landari Uplands 1 2022

Landari Uplands 1 2022 is a Plantation Forestry project located in the Northern Midlands region of Tasmania, approximately 40km southeast of Launceston. It was registered in November 2023 and currently covers an area of 139.72 hectares, following a project area variation that amended its listed boundaries in June 2024.

Plantation Forestry projects under the 2022 Methodology Determination generally involve establishing new plantation forests, transitioning short-rotation plantations to long-rotation, or maintaining existing plantations to avoid them being cleared for other land uses. Standard requirements include planting recognized commercial timber species, maintaining minimum stocking densities, and actively managing the site as a commercial forest. This particular project sequesters carbon by establishing a new plantation and continuing an existing or recently harvested plantation forest, thereby avoiding its conversion into non-forested agricultural land.

The Northern Midlands region is heavily utilized for agriculture and is renowned for extensive sheep grazing, fine wool production, and mixed cropping, alongside forestry operations on the higher elevations and poorer soils. The area is characterized by a relatively dry, cool climate compared to the rest of Tasmania, typically receiving between 450mm and 600mm of rainfall annually. The local soils are highly diverse, most frequently consisting of sandy sodosols, sandy loams, and areas of clay.

The project is jointly run by proponents LANDARI PTY LTD and Robert Bruce Downie. The participant names were officially updated via a registry variation on May 8, 2026. Landari Pty Ltd is a highly active proponent in the Australian carbon market, managing numerous plantation and reforestation projects across Tasmania, Victoria, New South Wales, and Western Australia.
