Tullymorgan Permanent Plantation Project

Tullymorgan Permanent Plantation Project is a plantation forestry project located at Tullymorgan, approximately 20km north-west of Maclean and 60km north-east of Grafton in the Clarence Valley region of northern New South Wales. It was registered in February 2026 and covers a project area of 94.17 hectares.

Plantation forestry projects under the 2022 methodology accumulate and sequester carbon as trees grow, reducing carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere. Specifically, this project earns Australian Carbon Credit Units (ACCUs) by transitioning an existing plantation forest into a permanent, not-for-harvest planting. This methodology secures long-term carbon retention in situations where the plantation is at a high risk of being cleared and converted back to non-forested agricultural land.

The Tullymorgan and Clarence Valley area is traditionally known for cattle grazing, small-scale farming, and commercial forestry operations. The region experiences a sub-humid to humid climate with high coastal rainfall that is dominant during the summer months. Soils in this part of northern New South Wales generally consist of fertile Dermosols and Chromosols, which are well-suited to support robust and permanent tree growth.

Managed by proponent Peter Smith alongside CODA Carbon Holdings Pty Ltd as an additional participant, this project effectively protects existing timber resources from land clearing while simultaneously maintaining the local forested ecosystem.
