Cultura Australia Plantation Project No. 2

Cultura Australia Plantation Project No. 2 is a plantation forestry project located across the South West region of Western Australia, spanning multiple local government areas near the major regional towns of Nannup, Busselton, and Manjimup. It was registered on June 5, 2025, and covers 2044.92 ha.

Plantation forestry projects involve maintaining, establishing, or extending the rotation of commercial tree plantations. Standard requirements for this methodology stipulate that the project must be managed under a commercial harvesting plan, or continuously maintained as a forested area to ensure permanent carbon sequestration. The core activity of this particular project is the avoided conversion of an existing or recently harvested plantation forest to non-forested land. By continuing the plantation lifecycle, the land is saved from being cleared for other agricultural purposes.

The South West region of Western Australia is heavily utilised for commercial forestry operations, as well as dairy farming, beef cattle grazing, and viticulture. The environment experiences a Mediterranean climate classified by high winter-dominant rainfall, while the soils typically consist of lateritic gravels over clay, loams, and deep sandy profiles along the coastal plains.

An interesting aspect of the project is its association with Glen Samsa of Delta Forestry, who acts as an agent and key participant alongside the proponent, Cultura Australia Pty Ltd. Additionally, on October 21, 2025, the project underwent a registered variation to incorporate extra land areas into its operational boundaries.
