Werrina Carbon Farming Project (Revoked)
EOP100936
Project Information:
Werrina Carbon Farming Project is a Native Forest from Managed Regrowth project located approximately 60km southwest of Charleville in the Murweh local government area of Queensland. It was registered in December 2014 and covers an area of 2,868.14 hectares.
Native Forest from Managed Regrowth projects establish permanent native forests through assisted regeneration from in-situ seed sources, such as rootstock and lignotubers. The methodology requires this regeneration to occur on land that was previously subject to at least one comprehensive clearing for pastoral use. The primary project activity involves the cessation of mechanical or chemical destruction, or suppression, of native regrowth to allow the forest to mature.
The Charleville region, part of the Mulga Lands bioregion, is primarily utilized for sheep and beef cattle grazing operations. The area features a semi-arid climate with low and highly variable rainfall averaging roughly 500mm annually. Soils across the bioregion are largely characterised by loamy red earths (Kandosols) and sandy loams, which can seal and deteriorate quickly if surface vegetation is lost.
Initially participating alongside Devine Agribusiness Carbon Pty Ltd, the project's participants were updated to Brock and Katrina Hindmarch in August 2021. Brock Hindmarch is notably active in the local agricultural sector, managing properties in the Charleville district. The project faced severe regulatory compliance actions when, on February 17, 2026, the Clean Energy Regulator issued a notice requiring the relinquishment of 46,767 Australian Carbon Credit Units (ACCUs). Following this requirement, the project was officially revoked on May 11, 2026.
