Coronga Peak Regeneration Project

Coronga Peak Regeneration Project is a Human-Induced Regeneration project located near Byrock in the Bourke Local Government Area, approximately 70km south-east of Bourke in NSW. It was registered in August 2015 and covers 28,748.85 ha.

Human-Induced Regeneration projects involve establishing permanent native forests through assisted natural regeneration. This is achieved by allowing the forest to regenerate from in-situ seed sources, rootstock, and lignotubers on land where regrowth was previously suppressed for at least 10 years. The standard requirement for this project includes managing the timing and extent of livestock grazing, as well as the humane management of feral animals, to allow the native vegetation to successfully reach forest cover.

The Bourke and Byrock region is traditionally known for large-scale sheep and cattle grazing operations. The area experiences a semi-arid climate with low and variable rainfall. The local environment is characterised by highly fertile red loam soils, often interspersed with box flats and native stands of mulga and rosewood.

This project was originally contracted to the Commonwealth in November 2015 under contract CAC102316, and this contract has now been completed. In July 2025, the project proponent changed from Warwick Bramhall to J I HAMPTON.COM PTY LTD. It has also supplied Australian Carbon Credit Units (ACCUs) to the voluntary market, with corporate buyers such as Woodside Energy utilising units from this project.
