Gingie Natural Regeneration Project (Revoked)

Gingie Natural Regeneration Project (Revoked) is a Human-Induced Regeneration project located on Gingie Station, approximately 45 kilometres north of Charleville in the Murweh Shire of Queensland. It was registered in March 2015 and covers a vast area of 41,827.02 hectares. The project is situated within the Mulga Lands bioregion, an area traditionally utilised for pastoral agriculture such as sheep and cattle grazing. The surrounding environment features a semi-arid climate with low and highly variable rainfall, typically between 300 and 450mm annually. The landscape is dominated by infertile sandy red earths and clay soils that naturally support native Acacia (mulga) woodlands.

Human-Induced Regeneration (HIR) projects involve establishing permanent, even-aged native forests by promoting natural regeneration from in-situ seed sources, such as rootstock and lignotubers. To achieve this, standard methodology requirements mandate that landholders cease activities that have historically suppressed tree growth. For this specific project, activities included ceasing the mechanical or chemical destruction of regrowth, which had been suppressed for at least 10 years prior to the project's commencement, as well as actively managing the timing and extent of livestock grazing.

Interestingly, this project was voluntarily revoked on 20 April 2018, under section 30 of the Carbon Credits (Carbon Farming Initiative) Rule. This specific section of the rule governs voluntary revocations for projects that have not yet been issued any Australian Carbon Credit Units (ACCUs), indicating the proponent, Charles Anthony Pye, chose to withdraw the project from the scheme before generating any credits. Another carbon project managed by the same proponent on the exact same property, the Gingie Managed Regrowth Project (EOP101067), was registered at the same time and also voluntarily revoked on the same date.
