AA2025R_SouthEastL_S1S2

AA2025R_SouthEastL_S1S2 is a Plantation Forestry project located across multiple land parcels in Tasmania, specifically situated in the Derwent Valley northwest of Hobart and the Glamorgan-Spring Bay region on the east coast. It was registered in June 2025 and covers an area of 104.95ha.

Plantation forestry projects under the Carbon Farming Initiative 2022 Methodology Determination sequester carbon by establishing new plantation forests, converting existing short-rotation plantations to long-rotation forests, or transitioning plantations to permanent forests. Standard requirements to participate in this method include ensuring no native forests were removed from the project area in the previous 7 years and submitting a mandatory notification to the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry (DAFF) to verify that the project will not have an undesirable impact on local agricultural production.

The Derwent Valley and Glamorgan-Spring Bay areas are traditionally known for a mix of forestry operations, agricultural grazing, and conservation. The regions generally experience moderate to high rainfall. Soils vary significantly across the geographical spread of the project areas, predominantly featuring dolerite-derived clays and podzols in the Derwent Valley, alongside sandy loams and clay combinations on the east coast.

This project specifically sequesters carbon by establishing and maintaining a new plantation forest for the commercial harvesting of wood products, and by converting an existing short-rotation plantation forest into a long-rotation one. In September 2025, a variation was successfully made to the project to add additional areas. The project is managed by The Trust Company (Australia) Limited acting as trustee for The Tasmanian Carbon Afforestation Sub-Trust, an entity that operates a large institutional investment portfolio comprising multiple carbon forestry sites across Tasmania.
