Landari Victoria Valley 2025

Landari Victoria Valley 2025 is a Plantation Forestry project located in the Victoria Valley region of the Tasmanian Central Highlands, approximately 25km southeast of Bronte Park and immediately south of Lake Echo. Registered in August 2025, the project covers 227.64 hectares of land historically used for forestry and grazing. The region is characterized by a cool temperate climate with reliable rainfall and soils derived largely from Jurassic dolerite, often described as stony, brown earths that support mixed forest and open woodland.

The project operates under the Carbon Credits (Carbon Farming Initiative, Plantation Forestry) Methodology Determination 2022, specifically utilising the "Schedule 4" activity. This involves transitioning an existing plantation forest, which was at risk of being cleared and converted to non-forested land (such as pasture for grazing), into a permanent forest. By committing to maintain the forest permanently rather than harvesting it, the project generates Australian Carbon Credit Units (ACCUs) for the carbon stored in the trees that would otherwise have been released or ceased to accumulate.

Landari Pty Ltd, the proponent, is an established entity in the Tasmanian forestry sector and an associate member of the Australian Forest Products Association. The Victoria Valley area itself is a significant hub for both forestry and hydro-electric infrastructure. This project highlights a growing trend in the region where land managers are finding economic value in retaining tree cover for carbon sequestration as an alternative to traditional timber harvesting or agricultural conversion.
