DAC-2015-22 (Revoked)

DAC-2015-22 (Revoked) is a Native Forest from Managed Regrowth project located in the Balonne Shire, approximately 35km north of Bollon in South West Queensland. It was registered in September 2015 and covers 957.39 ha.

Native Forest from Managed Regrowth projects involve allowing native vegetation to reach forest cover by ceasing activities that suppress its growth, such as mechanical or chemical destruction. These projects require the land to have been subject to at least one comprehensive clearing for pastoral use, enabling the native forest to regenerate from in-situ seed sources, including rootstock and lignotubers.

The Bollon area is historically known for sheep and cattle grazing operations. The region is considered a semi-arid environment with an average annual rainfall of approximately 450mm to 460mm. Soils in the area generally consist of a balance of red loams, sandy red earths, and grey cracking clays.

The project proponent, Devine Agribusiness Carbon Pty Ltd, was a major developer in the early carbon market with dozens of projects across southwest Queensland before being acquired by GreenCollar in July 2021. This specific project was originally contracted in April 2017 to deliver 40,000 tonnes of carbon abatement, but the contract lapsed or was terminated in October 2018. Ultimately, the project was revoked under section 30 of the CFI Rule in August 2021.
