18  Re-stratification of a CEA
         (1) A CEA may be re-stratified only as provided in this section.
         (2) A CEA must be re-stratified if one or more of the following occurs:
           1.     the site characteristics in the area are no longer similar;
           2.     the land management regime ceases to be similar across the area;
           3.     parts of a planting within the area fail to achieve forest potential;
           4.     5% or more of the CEA loses forest cover or fails to achieve forest potential because of a disturbance event;
           5.     a different calibration is to be applied to part of an existing CEA—in which case the existing CEA may be re-stratified according to where the different calibrations are to be applied.
        1.     If a CEA is re-stratified:
           1.     the reforestation management plan must be updated as soon as practicable following the re-stratification; and
           2.     the new boundaries must be identified in the next offsets report that is submitted to the Regulator following the re-stratification.
          (4) If the reforestation project is carried out in an area previously defined as an exclusion area, the area may be re-stratified as a CEA.

Division 5—Domain group—planting types and requirements
Note: Domain group is defined in section 5, and restricts the circumstances in which a particular calibration may be applied. Additional restrictions on the use of some calibrations may arise due to competition from adjacent trees as determined by Division 9.
