Darling River Eco Corridor 21 (Revoked)

ERF101435

Project Information:

Darling River Eco Corridor 21 (Revoked) is a Human-Induced Regeneration (HIR) project located in the semi-arid rangelands of central New South Wales, approximately 80km southwest of Cobar. Registered in July 2015 and covering 6,154 hectares, the project was situated in the Cobar Peneplain bioregion, an area predominantly utilised for the extensive grazing of sheep and goats.

The project area typically experiences a semi-arid climate with hot summers, cool winters, and low, variable rainfall averaging around 390mm annually. The soils in this region are generally red earths (Kandosols) and lithosols, which support native vegetation communities such as mulga and bimble box woodlands. The project's primary activity involved managing grazing pressure, specifically controlling the timing and extent of livestock grazing and humanely managing feral animals, to allow native forests to regenerate from in-situ seed sources and rootstock.

This project was part of a broader initiative by the proponent, Terra Carbon Pty Limited (a subsidiary of GreenCollar), known as the "Darling River Eco Corridor," which encompasses over 150,000 hectares across NSW and Queensland. Notably, the project name was varied in May 2015 from "Ours Human-Induced Regeneration Project." It was subsequently revoked in December 2017 under section 30 of the CFI Rule, a provision typically used for voluntary revocation. This suggests the project may have been withdrawn for administrative reasons, such as re-registration under a different methodology compilation or amalgamation into another project within the wider Eco Corridor portfolio.
