Holroyd Station
EOP100851
Project Information:
Holroyd Station is a Savanna Fire Management project located in the Cape York Peninsula in Far North Queensland, approximately 85km southwest of the town of Coen. It was registered in November 2014 and covers 282,066 hectares.
Savanna fire management projects involve the strategic and planned burning of savanna areas during the cooler early dry season. This requirement safely reduces fuel loads to mitigate the risk of larger, more intense, and highly destructive late dry season wildfires.
The Cape York Peninsula region is known for large-scale cattle farming and nature conservation. The area is considered a high rainfall savanna, and soils are generally sandy loams and clays.
This project is part of a massive aggregation of properties spanning over 430,000 hectares, which was purchased by Corporate Carbon in 2023 for $29 million. The property is managed by their subsidiary Paniri Agricultural Co. and operates as a functioning cattle station while simultaneously serving as a certified nature refuge. The project has undergone several methodology and participant variations, now registered under Umlilo Holdings Pty Ltd, and utilizes a formal "Healthy Country Planning" process to integrate Indigenous engagement and ensure mutually beneficial environmental and pastoral outcomes.
