DAC-2015-02

DAC-2015-02 is a Native Forest from Managed Regrowth project located in the Murweh Shire, approximately 55km north-northwest of Charleville in southern Queensland. Registered on July 8, 2015, the project encompasses a substantial area of 22,005 hectares. The surrounding region is deeply integrated into the Mulga Lands bioregion, an area traditionally utilized for extensive pastoral agriculture, including sheep and cattle grazing.

The project operates under the Native Forest from Managed Regrowth (NFMR) methodology, a framework designed to sequester carbon by regenerating native vegetation on land previously cleared for pastoral purposes. Unlike tree planting projects, this method relies on assisted regeneration from in-situ seed sources (such as rootstock and lignotubers). The primary project activity involves the cessation of mechanical or chemical clearing, historically used to suppress regrowth for grazing utility, thereby allowing the landscape to return to permanent native forest cover.

Environmentally, the site sits within a semi-arid zone characterized by an average annual rainfall of approximately 500mm. The terrain typically features red earth soils and sandy loams, supporting resilient native vegetation such as Mulga (Acacia aneura) and poplar box woodlands.

Managed by Devine Agribusiness Carbon Pty Ltd, this project is part of a larger portfolio of regeneration assets in southwest Queensland. It holds a significant Carbon Abatement Contract (CAC102412) with the Australian Government to deliver 497,000 Australian Carbon Credit Units (ACCUs), with the vast majority of this volume already successfully delivered to the Clean Energy Regulator.
