AA2025R_SouthEastL_S1S2

AA2025R_SouthEastL_S1S2 is a Plantation Forestry project located across the Derwent Valley and Glamorgan-Spring Bay regions, approximately 50 to 80km from Hobart in Tasmania. It was registered in June 2025 and covers an initial area of 104.95 ha, though a variation in September 2025 added new areas to the project.

Plantation Forestry projects sequester carbon by establishing new plantation forests or converting short-rotation plantations into long-rotation ones. These projects standardly require the ongoing commercial harvesting of wood products.

The Derwent Valley and Glamorgan-Spring Bay areas are widely known for commercial forestry, sheep and cattle grazing, and agriculture. The environment varies across the project's locations, transitioning from high rainfall in the western Derwent Valley to moderate rainfall on the east coast. Soils in these regions generally consist of sandy loams, podzols, and clay loams which are ideally suited for robust timber growth.

This project operates dual activities: converting an existing short-rotation plantation to a long-rotation one, and establishing entirely new plantation areas for commercial harvest. The proponent acts as a trustee for The Tasmanian Carbon Afforestation Sub-Trust, which successfully manages a broader portfolio of ACCU forestry and plantation projects across the state.
