Bunginderry Regeneration Project (Revoked)

Bunginderry Regeneration Project (Revoked) was a Human-Induced Regeneration (HIR) project located at Bunginderry Station, approximately 50km northwest of Quilpie in South West Queensland. Registered in October 2016, the project covered a significant area of 71,823 hectares within the Shire of Quilpie. The project operated for nearly nine years before being revoked in October 2025 under Section 30 of the CFI Rule, which typically indicates a voluntary revocation by the proponent.

The project utilized the Human-Induced Regeneration methodology, which involves changes to land management practices, such as the cessation of mechanical clearing and the management of grazing pressure, to allow native vegetation to regenerate. For an HIR project to be successful, the land must have been suppressed of forest cover for at least 10 years prior to the project's commencement. The goal is to achieve "forest cover," defined as trees reaching at least two meters in height with a canopy cover of 20%.

Bunginderry Station is situated in the Mulga Lands and Channel Country bioregions, an area characterized by a semi-arid climate with irregular rainfall. The landscape features a mix of mulga ridges with red earth soils and floodplains containing grey or black clays. The primary land use in this region is grazing for sheep, cattle, and goats. The proponents, Annabel Tully and Stephen Tully, are well-known in the community; Annabel Tully is a recognized artist whose work often depicts the landscapes of the Channel Country.
