Landari Uplands 2 2022

Landari Uplands 2 2022 is a plantation forestry project located in the Northern Midlands of Tasmania, near Epping Forest approximately 40km southeast of Launceston. It was registered in December 2023 and covers 322.31ha.

Plantation forestry projects involve establishing and maintaining a new plantation forest, converting a short-rotation plantation to a long-rotation one, or avoiding the conversion of an existing plantation to non-forested land. These projects dictate that the forest is managed to sequester carbon while still allowing for the commercial harvesting of wood products.

The Northern Midlands area is historically known for extensive sheep grazing for fine wool production, as well as mixed cropping and forestry operations. The region is considered a low rainfall area, and local soils are generally brown chromosols featuring sandy loam over heavy clay.

This project sequesters carbon by avoiding the conversion of an existing or recently harvested plantation to non-forested land, instead opting to establish and maintain a new plantation for commercial harvesting. Additional land was added to the project area through a variation in June 2024. Most recently, in May 2026, the project proponent was updated from LANDARI PTY LTD to include both Robert Downie and LANDARI PTY LTD as joint participants.
