Moresby (Revoked)

Moresby (Revoked) is an environmental planting project located at Moresby, just northeast of Geraldton in Western Australia. It was registered in August 2015 and covers 38.24ha.

Environmental planting projects involve planting native trees at a sufficient density, often at least 200 stems per hectare, to achieve a permanent mature forest canopy.

The Moresby and greater Geraldton area is known for agricultural operations, particularly broadacre cropping and sheep grazing. The area is considered semi-arid with a Mediterranean climate of moderate coastal rainfall, and soils are generally yellow siliceous sands and well-drained red duplex soils.

This project was set up by Regenerate Australia Ltd to establish permanent plantings of local native tree species on land previously used for agriculture for at least five years. Notably, this project was officially revoked in February 2018 under section 30 of the CFI Rule.
