Gingie Managed Regrowth Project (Revoked)
EOP101067
Project Information:
Gingie Managed Regrowth Project (Revoked) is a native forest from managed regrowth project located on Gingie Station (formerly known as Moramana), approximately 45km north of Charleville in Queensland. It was registered on March 24, 2015, and covers 28,362.22 ha.
Native Forest from Managed Regrowth (NFMR) projects require landholders to cease mechanical or chemical suppression activities, such as clearing or chaining, that previously prevented the regeneration of native vegetation on land cleared for pastoral use. By stopping these suppression activities, the project allows permanent native forests to regenerate naturally from in-situ seed sources, including rootstock and lignotubers.
The Charleville area, located within the Mulga Lands bioregion, is traditionally used for pastoral grazing operations. The environment is characterized by a semi-arid climate and features red earth and clay soils that support Acacia (mulga) woodlands.
Interestingly, despite its significant size, this project was voluntarily revoked on April 20, 2018, under Section 30 of the Carbon Credits (Carbon Farming Initiative) Rule. This specific section governs voluntary revocations for projects that have not yet been issued any Australian Carbon Credit Units (ACCUs). This indicates that the proponent, Charles Anthony Pye, chose to withdraw the project before any credits were generated. Records show Pye is also associated with another property named Gingie in Walgett, NSW, and held a parallel project, the Gingie Natural Regeneration Project, which was similarly revoked.
