Darling River Eco Corridor 11 (Revoked)

Darling River Eco Corridor 11 (Revoked) was a Human-Induced Regeneration (HIR) project located on the "Bulgoo" pastoral station, approximately 45 kilometers south of Cobar in the Western Division of New South Wales. Originally registered in July 2015 under the name "Bulgoo Human-Induced Regeneration Project," it covered a substantial area of 20,825 hectares. The project was voluntarily revoked in December 2017 under Section 30 of the CFI Rule, which typically indicates a strategic decision by the proponent or landholder to withdraw the project, potentially to restructure or transition to a different land management arrangement.

The project operated under the Human-Induced Regeneration methodology, which awards carbon credits for regenerating native forests on land where regrowth has been suppressed for at least 10 years. In this region, suppression is usually caused by livestock and feral animals eating young seedlings. The project activities focused on excluding livestock and managing feral goats to allow native species, such as Mulga, Bimble Box, and White Cypress Pine, to regenerate from in-situ seed sources and rootstock.

Environmentally, the Cobar Peneplain region is characterized by a semi-arid climate with a median annual rainfall of approximately 390mm. The landscape features undulating plains with red earth and red silty loam soils, often supporting woody shrublands that are highly responsive to rainfall events. The "Bulgoo" property itself is a well-known grazing aggregation, historically significant for its large-scale meat goat enterprise. While this specific HIR project was revoked, the property has hosted other carbon projects, including a major Avoided Deforestation project, highlighting the landholder's active engagement in the carbon market.
