26  Baseline period—transferring project area

 (1) This section specifies the baseline period for an area of land in a transferring project area.

Note: Section 8 specifies the baseline period for an area of land that is not in a transferring project area.

 (2) If:

 (a) the former determination for the transferring project area was the Carbon Credits (Carbon Farming Initiative—Emissions Abatement through Savanna Fire Management) Methodology Determination 2015; and

 (b) the project area includes land in the high rainfall zone and land in the low rainfall zone;

  then:

 (c) the baseline period for an area of land in the project area is the period referred to in paragraph 8(1)(a) or (b), as appropriate; and

 (d) the last year of the baseline period is:

 (i) if the project area was first added to a project covered by a savanna emissions avoidance determination as a result of a section 29 application—the calendar year before the day on which the project area was added; and

 (ii) otherwise—the calendar year before project commencement (within the meaning of the former determination).

Note: Subparagraph 26(2)(d)(i) is modified in some cases if the requirement in lieu of the newness requirement set out in paragraph 21(2)(c) was met. See paragraph 21(3)(c).

 (3) In any other case, the baseline period for the project area, or an area of land in the project area, is the same as the baseline period under the former determination for the project area.
