Minmore Soil Carbon Project (Revoked)

Minmore Soil Carbon Project (Revoked) is a soil carbon project located at the "Minmore" property, approximately 25km west of Kingaroy in the South Burnett region of Queensland. It was registered in March 2017 and spans an expansive 5,947.96 hectares.

Soil carbon projects under the 2014 grazing systems methodology involve implementing new or materially different agricultural management practices to increase the carbon stored in the soil profile. Standard requirements include undertaking eligible activities such as altering stocking density, managing grazing duration, applying nutrients, or rejuvenating pastures, all while conducting strict baseline and subsequent soil sampling. This specific project aimed to sequester soil carbon by rejuvenating pastures within its active grazing system.

The South Burnett region is characterized by a sub-tropical climate with summer-dominant annual rainfall typically between 600mm and 900mm. The area is highly regarded for its rich, red volcanic soils (Ferrosols) and clay loams. Regional land use is a diverse mix of intensive agriculture, such as peanut, corn, and stone fruit cropping, alongside traditional beef cattle grazing and forestry.

The "Minmore" property itself has a long history of cattle grazing and Hereford breeding dating back to 1915, and has even hosted visitors as a rural farmstay. Interestingly, the proponent, Minmore Nominees Pty Ltd (as Trustee for the Minmore Family Trust), also has unique ties to the local community by operating the Kingaroy Satellite Cinema. The carbon project was ultimately revoked on 16 September 2026 under section 30 of the CFI Rule, a section which typically indicates a voluntary revocation requested by the proponent.
