Landari Wyatinah 2025

Landari Wyatinah 2025 is a Plantation Forestry project located near the hydro-electric village of Wayatinah in the Central Highlands of Tasmania. The project is situated approximately 110km northwest of Hobart and about 20km west of the township of Ouse. Registered on October 2, 2025, the project covers an area of 680.23 hectares. The surrounding region is characterized by a mix of land uses, primarily commercial forestry, hydro-electric power generation (associated with the Wayatinah Lagoon), and grazing agriculture in the drier valleys.

The project operates under the Carbon Credits (Carbon Farming Initiative, Plantation Forestry) Methodology Determination 2022. Specifically, it utilizes the "avoided conversion" activity type. This methodology credits projects for maintaining plantation forests on land that would otherwise have been converted to non-forested land (such as pasture for agriculture) following a harvest. By committing to re-establish and maintain the plantation for commercial harvesting, the project avoids the emissions associated with clearing and removing the forest debris, while ensuring continued carbon sequestration in the new rotation of trees.

The Wayatinah region experiences a cool temperate climate conducive to forestry. Long-term climate data indicates significant moisture availability, with mean annual rainfall historically exceeding 1,200mm, although recent years have seen variable conditions. The soils in Tasmania's forestry regions, particularly in the Central Highlands, are often deep, well-structured Ferrosols (derived from basalt) or Dermosols, which provide the fertility and drainage necessary for vigorous tree growth.

Landari Pty Ltd, the project proponent, is an active participant in the Tasmanian forestry sector and a member of the Australian Forest Products Association (AFPA). This project is one of several managed by the proponent in the region, contributing to the state's sustainable timber resources while generating Australian Carbon Credit Units (ACCUs).
