Landari Blumont 2024

Landari Blumont 2024 is a Plantation Forestry project located in the locality of Blumont, approximately 10km west of Scottsdale and 50km northeast of Launceston in Tasmania. Registered in March 2024, the project covers a project area of roughly 553 hectares. The region is a significant hub for Tasmania's agricultural and forestry sectors, characterized by a mix of hardwood and softwood plantations, dairy farming, and cropping.

The project operates under the Carbon Credits (Carbon Farming Initiative, Plantation Forestry) Methodology Determination 2022. Specifically, it involves the "avoided conversion" activity (Schedule 3), which credits the carbon sequestered by continuing to maintain a plantation forest that was at clear risk of being converted to a non-forested land use, such as pasture or cropland. Unlike environmental plantings which are permanent and unharvested, plantation forestry involves commercially managing trees (often Pinus radiata or Eucalyptus nitens in this region) at commercial stocking densities for the production of wood products, while ensuring the carbon stock on the land remains higher than if it had been cleared.

The Blumont and Scottsdale region is renowned for its high rainfall, averaging nearly 1,000mm annually, and its fertile soils. The area specifically features extensive Ferrosols (Red Basalt soils), which are deep, well-drained, and highly prized for both intensive agriculture and high-yield forestry.

Landari Pty Ltd, the proponent, is a specialist forestry and carbon development firm that integrates carbon projects with traditional forestry operations like harvesting and biomass sales. Notably, the project underwent a variation in February 2025 to include additional land areas, indicating an expansion of the protected plantation estate.
