This consultation process sought views on the Reforestation by Environmental or Mallee Plantings method 2024 draft documents including an Exposure Draft of the method, a draft Explanatory Statement, a draft Simple Method Guide, and draft FullCAM Guidelines.
This included considerations for:
Proponents owning seeds/seedlings before applying to register a project and preparing the land for planting between applying to register and registration.
Mixed-species environmental plantings including climate resilient native species not part of the local vegetation provided these species are appropriate for the local area.
Proponents being able to plant both seeds and tube-stock together for linear mixed-species plantings.
Fruits, nuts, seeds, and leaves from a project being sold, including:
that only 10% from each tree could be harvested each year;
that bark, fallen timber and wood cannot be sold; and
that these restrictions would not impact on traditional Indigenous practices or Native Title Rights.
For projects using a specific FullCAM calibration, for fertiliser use to be allowed during the first 12 months of planting.
The inclusion of infill planting rules.
A proposal that proponents must use the FullCAM version in force at the end of each reporting period.
