Landari Uplands 2 2022

Landari Uplands 2 2022 is a plantation forestry project located in the Northern Midlands region of Tasmania, approximately 50km south of Launceston near the rural locality of Conara. It was registered in December 2023 and covers an area of 322.31 hectares.

Plantation forestry projects involve establishing a new plantation forest, or preventing an existing or recently harvested plantation from being converted to non-forested land. Standard requirements under this methodology dictate that the forest must be maintained for commercial harvesting of wood products, with carbon sequestered both in the growing trees and the resulting harvested timber products over the project's permanence period.

The Northern Midlands area is widely known for mixed agricultural operations, predominantly sheep and cattle grazing, broadacre cropping, and commercial timber plantations. The environment is characterized by a moderate temperate climate, typically receiving an average annual rainfall of 600mm to 700mm. The soils in this region are generally composed of clay loams and sandy loams (such as the Brickendon and Brumby soil associations), making them highly suitable for both pasture and sustainable forestry.

This project sequesters carbon by explicitly avoiding the conversion of its plantation land to alternative non-forest uses, ensuring a continuous cycle of commercial forestry on the property. In June 2024, the project underwent a variation to expand its total registered area by adding new land parcels. Additionally, in May 2026, the participant structure was updated, changing the primary proponent from solely Landari Pty Ltd to a joint custodianship between Robert Downie and Landari Pty Ltd.
