ACP CBA 2025_2

ACP CBA 2025_2 is a plantation forestry project located in the Southern Midlands of Tasmania, approximately 15km north of Oatlands. It was registered in September 2025 and covers an area of 482.56 hectares.

Plantation forestry projects generate carbon credits by establishing new plantation forests or by converting short-rotation plantations to long-rotation ones. Standard methodology requirements mandate maintaining minimum tree stocking densities, adhering to specific weed and fire management practices, and ensuring the plantation is grown for the commercial harvesting of wood products.

The Southern Midlands region is historically known for extensive agricultural land uses, notably sheep and cattle grazing, alongside commercial cropping and forestry operations. The environment features a dry temperate climate with moderate to low rainfall, and the soils are typically composed of dolerite-derived clays, basalt, and sandy loams.

This specific project sequesters carbon by avoiding the conversion of an existing or harvested plantation back to non-forested agricultural land. Instead, it ensures the establishment and continuous maintenance of a new plantation forest. The project's proponent, Australian Carbon Products Pty Ltd, is a wholly owned subsidiary of Midway Limited. Midway Limited is one of Australia's largest woodfibre processors and exporters, operating a significant plantation carbon management business that partners with landowners to generate emissions offsets and commercial timber returns.
