Support Plantation Establishment Round 3

The Australian Government is inviting organisations via a Demand Driven (eligibility based) process to deliver services under the Forestry Industry – Support Plantation Establishment Program.

The objectives of the program are to:

• increase future plantation forest resources available for processing, as well as for plantation forest management, harvesting and haulage employment
• support private industry, First Nations businesses, farm foresters and state and territory forestry bodies to expand the Australian plantation forest estate
• contribute to meeting Australia’s carbon emission reduction targets, including under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, and the Kyoto Protocol to the Climate Change Convention.

At the time of submitting your application, you must not have planted the trees as part of your project activities.

You also can not include any activities that have or will be undertaken prior to the earliest activity start date for the relevant batch you are applying to as part of your grant funded or co-contribution activities.
