Lindermans Regeneration Project

Lindermans Regeneration Project is a Human-Induced Regeneration of a Permanent Even-Aged Native Forest project located in the Bourke local government area, approximately 40km south of the town of Bourke in outback New South Wales. It was registered on February 12, 2015, and covers an area of 4,774.86 ha.

Human-Induced Regeneration (HIR) projects establish permanent native forests through assisted regeneration from in-situ seed sources, such as rootstock and lignotubers. A standard requirement of this methodology is that the land must have been cleared of vegetation and regrowth actively suppressed for at least 10 years before the project's commencement. To facilitate native regeneration, this project relies on changing land management practices, specifically focusing on managing the timing and extent of livestock grazing alongside the humane management of feral animals.

The Bourke region is widely known for large-scale pastoral operations, primarily cattle and sheep grazing. The environment is classified as semi-arid and typically experiences low and variable rainfall. The regional soils generally consist of red earths, sandy loams, and clay loams.

The project was initially registered by Travis and Lindsay Bambrick, but the proponent was officially varied in November 2019 to Fox's of Cobar Pty Ltd as Trustee for the Fox Family Superannuation Fund. In September 2023, the project updated its methodology to Compilation No. 3. Additionally, the project secured Carbon Abatement Contract CAC282794 at the April 2015 auction, which committed an original volume of 62,500 Australian Carbon Credit Units (ACCUs) to the Commonwealth. As of August 2026, this contract has been successfully completed.
