I am pretty cynical about carbon taxes and their benefits in Australia, but my understanding is that there is no reason any plantation forestry estate planted on agricultural land post 1990 would not qualify for some carbon benefit - so long as a % of the estate is maintained under trees in perpetuity then the value of the carbon in that area of trees can be valued.
What is not known is whether this is worth the hassle for a company that derives its main revenues from selling woodchips. Any carbon revenue is likely to be incremental to the export value of the wood & may be more trouble than it is worth in terms of accreditation & certification.
Like any of these dodgy proposed govt schemes "The devil is in the detail" and the detail of this one has not yet been released!
