DAC-2015-13 (Revoked)

DAC-2015-13 (Revoked) is a native forest regeneration project located approximately 55km southeast of Charleville in the Mulga Lands bioregion of southern Queensland. Registered in September 2015, the project covers a land area of roughly 1,084 hectares. The surrounding region is predominantly characterized by pastoral leasehold land used for grazing sheep and cattle, typical of the Charleville district.

The project operated under the Native Forest from Managed Regrowth (NFMR) methodology. This specific carbon farming method credits the sequestration of carbon achieved by allowing native forests to regenerate on land that was historically cleared for pastoral use. To generate credits, the proponent must cease the mechanical or chemical suppression of regrowth, effectively stopping the clearing cycles previously used to maintain grazing pastures. The project activity focuses on assisted regeneration from in-situ seed sources, such as rootstock and lignotubers, rather than planting new seedlings.

Environmentally, the site sits within a semi-arid zone with variable annual rainfall averaging between 450mm and 500mm. The soil composition in this area generally consists of the red earths and sandy loams associated with Mulga (Acacia aneura) country. These soils are often ancient, nutrient-poor, and acidic, supporting vegetation communities adapted to drought conditions.

Devine Agribusiness Carbon Pty Ltd developed the project, which was revoked in August 2021 under section 30 of the CFI Rule. A section 30 revocation signifies a voluntary request by the proponent to revoke the project's declaration, usually requiring any issued credits to be relinquished or confirming no credits remain outstanding. This revocation occurred shortly after GreenCollar acquired Devine Agribusiness Carbon in July 2021, suggesting the project may have been restructured or consolidated into a different portfolio. Prior to its revocation, the project successfully completed its Carbon Abatement Contract (CAC102416).
