The Clean Energy Regulator is seeking your feedback on proposed amendments to audit requirements for certain plantation forestry projects under the Australian Carbon Credit Unit Scheme (ACCUs).
The Clean Energy Regulator is proposing a new class of alternative assurance projects that will reduce the audit requirements for eligible small-scale new plantations covered by schedule 1 of the plantation forestry method.
This new class applies to low-risk plantation forestry projects. Existing projects or new applications that meet the proposed criteria under this class will be eligible for a reduced audit schedule.
For these projects, alternative assurance will reduce administrative burden and incentivise scheme participation by lowering audit costs.
Submissions are due by 5.00pm AEST 1 May 2024.
