The Carbon Farming Initiative (CFI) is a carbon offsets scheme established by the Australian Government to provide new economic opportunities for farmers, forest growers and landholders. Please watch the explainer video below to see how the CFI can work for you.

Select Carbon is regonised under the federal government's CFI as an offical offsets entity. Any landholders that are interested in starting a project on their property should contact us so we can evaluate your property to see which kind of project suits you and your property most. Please call 07 4041 6639.

Select Carbon, in partnership with MacDonnells Law will be presenting a legal overview of the Clean Energy Plan and the Carbon Farming Initiative on Friday 23rd March at MacDonnells Law office on the corner of Shields and Grafton street.

The seminar will be from 7:45am - 9:00am (light breakfast will be provided). Please see flier for further information.

We encourage all local businesses to come along and listen to some of the implications of a Carbon Tax on your business and some of the opportunities it presents for forward-thinking businesses to invest in local Carbon Farming projects.

The new 'carbon tax' is set to be introduced in July next year in what is shaping up to be one of the biggest economic reforms seen in Australia for a long time.

Businesses need to be ready whether they are liable to pay the carbon tax or not. All businesses must come to grips with the risks and opportunities arising from a price on Carbon and to ensure the types of support that are available are being optimised.

A lot of businesses simply don't know what they need to do and when they need to do it. Public confusion about the 'carbon tax' is obvious when I speak to people about the new laws.

However with a little careful planning, businesses will treat the new 'carbon tax' like they do any other uncertainty and volatility they deal with on a daily basis, and when the 'carbon tax' commences in July 2012, businesses wont be so daunted by the challenge of such a reform.
