AA2025R_NiettaP_S1

AA2025R_NiettaP_S1 is a plantation forestry project located in Nietta, approximately 30km south of Ulverstone in north-west Tasmania. It was registered in December 2024 and covers an area of 129ha.

Plantation forestry projects operating under the 2022 methodology determination involve sequestering carbon by establishing and maintaining a new plantation forest for the commercial harvesting of wood products. The methodology dictates that the proponent must maintain commercial tree stocking densities and manage the forest for ongoing growth and eventual sustainable harvesting.

The Nietta area is known for mixed agricultural uses such as cattle grazing and cropping, as well as extensive commercial forestry operations. The region generally experiences a moderate to high rainfall classification, and soils in the area typically consist of highly productive ferrosols (red basalt clay) and clay loams.

SFM Environmental Solutions Pty Ltd acts as the agent for the project proponent, The Trust Company (Australia) Limited as trustee for The Tasmanian Carbon Afforestation Sub-Trust. This trust is an active participant in expanding Tasmanian forestry and has been a notable recipient of federal funding through the Support Plantation Establishment program. On 17 July 2026, a variation was officially made to the project where certain previously listed areas were removed from the project boundary.
