Coronga Peak Regeneration Project

Coronga Peak Regeneration Project is a Human-Induced Regeneration project located at Coronga Peak station, near Byrock and approximately 82km southeast of Bourke in western New South Wales. It was registered in August 2015 and covers 28,748.85 ha.

Human-Induced Regeneration (HIR) projects involve establishing permanent native forests through assisted regeneration from in-situ seed sources, such as rootstock and lignotubers, on land where vegetation regrowth has been suppressed for at least 10 years. The standard requirements involve modifying land management practices to allow native trees to successfully regrow. For this project, activities include managing the timing and extent of livestock grazing, as well as the humane management of feral animals, to relieve suppression pressures on native vegetation.

The region around Byrock and Bourke is known for pastoral operations, primarily large-scale sheep and cattle grazing, alongside opportunistic feral goat harvesting. The environment is semi-arid, experiencing low rainfall of typically around 325mm annually. The soils in the area consist largely of flat red loams and granitic soils, which traditionally support native woodlands including mulga, box, and pine.

An interesting note is that this project's carbon credits are linked to ASX-listed energy infrastructure business APA Group, which highlighted the Coronga Peak project in their FY23 climate initiatives. The project holds an active carbon abatement contract (CAC102316) under J I HAMPTON.COM PTY LTD. Additionally, the project's original participant and property owner, Warwick Bramhall, made local news in 2020 after surviving a severe aggravated robbery at the remote station. In August 2023, the project updated its methodology determination compilation, and in July 2025, the participant name officially varied from Warwick Bramhall to J I HAMPTON.COM PTY LTD.
