For past visitors returning to our site and for new visitors, we are very proud of AKD’s strategic expansion in plantation forest ownership and development and the latest about this can be found under “Forestry Our Plantations” tab.

Did you know that:

AKD currently owns and manage 10,000 hectares of sustainably grown Radiata pine plantations. AKD’s plantation estate is spread across areas of Western Victoria, situated in three specific regions: Otway, Ballarat and the Green Triangle. These plantations were established to support our Colac sawmills.

AKD recently purchased new land in the Oberon and Tumut areas of New South Wales, soon to be established into Radiata pine plantations for our sawmills in these regions.

AKD’s Own Plantations:

  • 2021 Planting – completed 495ha that’s 668,000 seedlings planted
  • 2022 Planting – preparing for a significant step up this year 850ha – that’s 1,050,000 seedlings to be planted
