FPC 2025 CP2

FPC 2025 CP2 is a plantation forestry project located approximately 65km east-southeast of Manjimup in the Shire of Cranbrook, WA. It was registered in July 2025 and covers 1359.43ha.

Plantation forestry projects involve accumulating carbon by establishing new plantations or converting short-rotation plantations to long-rotation plantations for commercial harvesting. Standard requirements mandate that native forest has not been removed from the site in the previous 7 years.

The Cranbrook area is known for broadacre cropping, sheep grazing, and plantation forestry. The area experiences moderate rainfall with a Mediterranean climate, and soils are predominantly deep sandy duplex soils and gravelly ridges.

This project is part of the Forest Products Commission's broader strategy to expand commercial forestry. By shifting to long-rotation forestry, the project increases carbon storage over a 25-year permanence period while providing sustainable timber products for Western Australia.
