Koolburra Station (Revoked)

Koolburra Station (Revoked) is a savanna fire management project located at Koolburra Station, 65km north of Laura in Queensland. It was registered in September 2013 and covers 160,907.50 ha.

Savanna fire management projects involve the strategic and planned burning of savanna areas during the early dry season. This methodology reduces the fuel load, thereby decreasing the risk of intense late dry season wildfires and lowering overall greenhouse gas emissions.

The Cape York Peninsula region surrounding Laura is predominantly used for pastoral operations such as large-scale cattle grazing. The area experiences high tropical rainfall, averaging 1,500mm annually. Soils across the station are varied and generally consist of sandy loam, clay, river loam, and melon hole black soil.

The Koolburra property, whose name translates to 'big water', features numerous rivers, springs, lakes, and swamps. This carbon project was officially revoked in February 2015. Furthermore, the project's proponent, Country Carbon Pty Ltd, had an enforceable undertaking accepted by the Clean Energy Regulator with effect from May 2020.
