7 Three Sisters Rd Beechworth

ERF194307

Project Information:

7 Three Sisters Rd Beechworth is an Environmental planting project located at Beechworth, approximately 40km south of Albury-Wodonga in north-east Victoria. It was registered in July 2024 and covers 58.05ha.

Environmental planting projects involve planting native trees at a density of at least 200 stems per ha to establish permanent forest cover.

The Beechworth area is known for livestock farming, viticulture, and forestry operations. The area is considered moderate to high rainfall, and soils are generally granitic loams over decomposed gravels and clay.

This project was set up to establish permanent plantings of a mix of native, locally-sourced tree species on land that was predominantly used for agricultural purposes for at least five years prior. Interestingly, property records show that this site previously operated as a commercial livestock farm and was sold in late 2023 for $1.5 million, marking its recent transition from grazing pastures to a dedicated native carbon forest.
