Darling River Eco Corridor 19 (Revoked)

Darling River Eco Corridor 19 is a Human-Induced Regeneration (HIR) project located approximately 80km south of Cobar in western New South Wales. Originally named the Normavale Human-Induced Regeneration Project, it was registered in July 2015 and covered a land area of 9,730.78 hectares. It was formally revoked under section 30 of the CFI Rule in December 2017.

The Human-Induced Regeneration methodology involves establishing permanent, even-aged native forests through assisted regeneration. This relies on regenerating in-situ seed sources, such as rootstock and lignotubers, on land that was previously cleared and where vegetation growth had been suppressed for at least 10 years prior to the project commencing. To achieve this, the project's prescribed activities included the humane management of feral animals and carefully controlling the timing and extent of livestock grazing.

The Cobar region is characterised by a semi-arid climate with low and variable rainfall. Soils in this outback area are typically red earths, sandy loams, and clays, and the dominant land use in the surrounding area is extensive sheep and cattle grazing alongside historic and active mining operations.

The project's proponent was Terra Carbon Pty Limited, which operates as a subsidiary of the GreenCollar Group, one of Australia's largest and most successful environmental market developers. While this specific project was revoked early in its crediting lifecycle, it was originally established as part of the broader Darling River Eco Corridor initiative, which features numerous similarly named and numbered carbon project sites in the region.
