Macfarlane Station (Revoked)

Macfarlane Station (Revoked) was a soil carbon sequestration project located approximately 25km west of Tambo in Central West Queensland. Registered in August 2015, the project covered a significant area of 9,250 hectares within the Macfarlane Station property. The station is a grazing enterprise historically operated by Andrew and Louise Martin, who are noted in regional reports for their early adoption of wild dog cluster fencing to improve land management and profitability.

The project was established under the "Sequestering Carbon in Soils in Grazing Systems" methodology. This framework credits landholders for increasing Soil Organic Carbon (SOC) levels through changes in land management. Standard activities for this project type included rejuvenating pastures and implementing time-controlled grazing strategies to encourage biomass growth and soil health.

The Tambo region generally features a semi-arid climate with an average annual rainfall of approximately 500mm, though this can be highly variable. The local environment typically consists of Mitchell grass downs and open woodlands supported by clay and loamy soils, which are well-suited to cattle and sheep grazing. This specific project was voluntarily revoked in March 2017, meaning it is no longer an active participant in the carbon market.
