Second consultation phase
Based on the input we received during the initial consultation period, we have decided to initiate a second consultation phase. This will enable us to provide additional information to support the consultation and allow stakeholders to better understand the impacts and offer additional feedback on the latest version of FullCAM and the updated ACCU scheme guidelines.
The timing is to be determined, but information related to the consultation, including how to make a submission will be made available on DCCEEW’s consultation hub when the consultation reopens. In the meantime, FullCAM 2024 will continue to be available to users via the web application. An email will be sent out to notify users when the second consultation goes live.
Any submissions made through the current consultation process will continue to be considered and will not need to be remade.
Overview
We are seeking your feedback on the new 2024 public release version of the Full Carbon Accounting Model (FullCAM) and six associated Australian Carbon Credit Unit (ACCU) Scheme FullCAM guidelines. The new FullCAM version contains two key updates, compared to the 2020 version:
Updated plantation and mallee planting calibrations; and
New climate data to end-2022 and a recalculated forest productivity index for all years since 2001.
Your feedback will allow us to ensure that the new public release version is functioning correctly, prior to its full launch. Please note that this version of the model is for beta testing only at this stage and should not be used for the purposes of submitting offsets reports under the ACCU scheme.
