Bimblebox Regeneration Project

Bimblebox Regeneration Project is a Human-Induced Regeneration project located in the Paroo local government area, approximately 75km south-west of Cunnamulla in south-west Queensland. It was registered in November 2016 and covers 15,941.01 hectares.

Human-Induced Regeneration (HIR) projects involve modifying land management practices to allow native forests to naturally regenerate from in-situ seed sources, such as rootstock and lignotubers, on land where regrowth was previously suppressed for at least 10 years. To achieve forest cover, this specific project focuses on the cessation of mechanical or chemical destruction of regrowth, managing the timing and extent of livestock grazing, and the humane management of feral animals.

The Paroo region surrounding Cunnamulla is a semi-arid environment characterised by highly variable summer rainfall and high evaporation rates. The regional land use is dominated by large agricultural holdings dedicated to sheep and beef cattle grazing. Soils across this catchment typically consist of red earths, shallow alluvial soils, and sandy loams associated with the Mulga Lands.

In an interesting administrative note, the project secured a significant fixed delivery carbon abatement contract in November 2016 for 1,000,000 ACCUs. Additionally, in June 2025, there was a variation to the project participants to remove Kurrajong Partners Pty Ltd, leaving Jacob and Christine Berghofer as the sole proponents. The project has also been actively used for corporate offsets, appearing in Woodside Energy's Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions reporting.
