Ularunda Regeneration Project

ERF101525

Project Information:

Ularunda Regeneration Project is a Human-Induced Regeneration project located on Ularunda Station, approximately 50km south of Morven and 90km east of Charleville in South West Queensland. It was registered in August 2015 and covers an extensive area of 42,189.46 hectares. The Morven region, situated within the Mulga Lands bioregion, is primarily known for pastoralism, particularly sheep and cattle grazing. The area experiences a semi-arid climate with highly variable rainfall (averaging roughly 470mm annually) and features generally shallow lithosols, red earths, and sandy loams typical of mulga vegetation.

Human-Induced Regeneration projects involve establishing permanent, even-aged native forests by removing the pressures that suppress natural tree growth. A strict methodology requirement is that the designated project land must have been cleared of vegetation, with regrowth actively suppressed for at least 10 years before the project's commencement.

This specific project achieves regeneration from in-situ seed sources, such as rootstock and lignotubers, by ceasing the mechanical and chemical destruction of regrowth. To further facilitate the recovery of the native forest, the proponents are carefully managing the timing and extent of livestock grazing across the property.

Ularunda Station has a deep pastoral history, having been originally taken up for sheep and cattle farming by the Fletcher Brothers partnership in 1907. In recent years, the carbon project has undergone a few administrative updates. This includes a methodology variation in July 2023 to Compilation No. 3. More recently, in April 2026, the project's participant list was varied to officially include Cassandra Ryan and Peter Ryan alongside the original proponents, Andrew McInnerney and Leanne McInnerney.
