Catchment Conservation Alliance-Great Barrier Reef Initiative (Revoked)

Catchment Conservation Alliance-Great Barrier Reef Initiative (Revoked) is a Human-Induced Regeneration project located in Central Queensland, approximately 145km west of Clermont. It was registered in April 2016 and covers a vast 55,839.56 hectares.

Human-Induced Regeneration (HIR) projects involve regenerating native forest by modifying active land management practices. Under standard methodology requirements, these projects must achieve a permanent even-aged native forest capable of reaching a minimum of 20% crown cover and a height of at least 2 metres.

The region west of Clermont is predominantly used for extensive cattle grazing and pastoralism. The environment features a semi-arid climate with highly variable, summer-dominant rainfall. The local landscape typically consists of sandy loams and cracking clay soils characteristic of the Brigalow Belt and Desert Uplands bioregions.

The specific activities for this project included ceasing the mechanical or chemical destruction of regrowth and managing feral animals in a humane manner. An interesting note about this project is its design to establish permanent native forests through assisted regeneration from in-situ seed sources, such as rootstock and lignotubers, specifically on land where regrowth had been suppressed for at least 10 years prior to commencement. The project's proponent, Terra Carbon Pty Limited, operates as a subsidiary of GreenCollar, Australia's largest environmental market developer. Despite its large scale, the project was officially revoked on August 20, 2025, under section 30 of the CFI Rule, meaning it is no longer an active participant in the ACCU scheme.
