Jervoise Station Carbon Project (Revoked)

Jervoise Station Carbon Project (Revoked) is a Human-Induced Regeneration project located at Jervoise Station, approximately 30km north of Greenvale in North Queensland. It was registered in March 2016 and covers an area of 27,363.56 hectares.

Human-Induced Regeneration (HIR) projects establish permanent native forests on land that was previously cleared of vegetation and where regrowth has been suppressed for at least 10 years. This methodology requires proponents to change agricultural practices to remove the suppressors. For this project, the core activity was the management of the timing and the extent of livestock grazing to allow for assisted regeneration from in-situ native seed sources, rootstock, and lignotubers.

The Greenvale area and the wider Charters Towers and Etheridge local government areas are predominantly utilised for extensive cattle grazing. Situated within the Dry Tropics region, the local environment experiences a semi-arid climate with distinct wet and dry seasons driven by highly variable, summer-dominant rainfall. The soils in this region typically consist of sandy loams, structured clays, and red to brown clay loams formed from sedimentary and basalt rocks.

Jervoise Station itself is well known as a pioneer in certified organic and holistic cattle grazing in North Queensland. In recent years, the property has partnered with Traditional Owners, natural resource management groups, and WWF-Australia to host regional cultural fire workshops. These initiatives blend ancient Indigenous fire management knowledge with modern pastoral practices to heal and regenerate the landscape. Despite the long-term regenerative goals of the property, this specific carbon project was officially revoked under section 32 of the CFI Rule on 24 November 2023.
