Darling River Eco Corridor 10 (Revoked)

Darling River Eco Corridor 10 (Revoked) was a Human-Induced Regeneration (HIR) project located approximately 30 kilometers northeast of Bourke in the Orana region of New South Wales. Originally registered as the "Bellara Human-Induced Regeneration Project" in July 2015, the project operated on Bellara Station, covering an area of 4,032 hectares. The project was voluntarily revoked in August 2021 under section 30 of the CFI Rule, a mechanism often used when proponents wish to consolidate projects, transfer land, or exit the scheme.

The project utilized the Human-Induced Regeneration methodology, which differs from tree planting projects by focusing on land management changes to facilitate natural recovery. Instead of planting seedlings, the proponent, Terra Carbon (a subsidiary of GreenCollar), implemented changes such as controlling feral goats and managing the timing and extent of livestock grazing. These activities were designed to allow native vegetation, specifically species inhibited by previous suppression activities, to regenerate from existing seed banks, rootstock, and lignotubers.

The environment in this region is classified as semi-arid, typically receiving between 300mm and 400mm of rainfall annually. The landscape consists of the Mulga Lands and Darling Riverine Plains bioregions, characterized by red sandy loam soils (Kandosols) on ridges and grey clay soils (Vertosols) on floodplains. The vegetation in this area is dominated by Mulga (Acacia aneura) woodlands, with Coolabah and Black Box trees found along watercourses. The primary land use in the district is extensive rangeland grazing for sheep, cattle, and goats.
