Warrego Carbon Project

The Warrego Carbon Project is a Human-Induced Regeneration (HIR) project located in the Mulga Lands of south-west Queensland. Specifically, the project area spans approximately 16,364 hectares and is situated roughly 80 kilometers south of Charleville and 25 kilometers north of the small township of Wyandra. The project operates within the Paroo Shire local government area.

Registered in October 2015, the project utilizes the Human-Induced Regeneration methodology. This approach credits landholders for regenerating permanent native forests on land where vegetation growth was previously suppressed, typically by livestock or mechanical clearing, for at least 10 years prior to the project. For the Warrego Carbon Project, activities involve the cessation of mechanical clearing and the strategic management of grazing timing and extent. This allows the native Mulga (Acacia aneura) and associated vegetation to regenerate from in-situ seed sources and rootstock.

The region is characterized by a semi-arid climate with variable rainfall, generally averaging between 450mm and 500mm annually. The landscape is dominated by the red earth soils (kandosols) and sandy loams typical of the Mulga Lands bioregion, which are traditionally used for sheep and cattle grazing.

A notable recent development for this project occurred in February 2025. A variation to the participant details indicates that the project proponent, the Hindman Family Trust, has likely restructured its management arrangement, removing Corporate Carbon Solutions Pty Ltd from the formal participant listing. This suggests a shift toward independent management or a change in service provider arrangements after nearly a decade of operation.
