Wombah Regeneration Project

Wombah Regeneration Project is a Human-Induced Regeneration project located at Wombah Station, approximately 125km southwest of Cunnamulla in South West Queensland. It was registered in March 2017 and covers 55,064.45ha.

Human-Induced Regeneration projects involve establishing permanent, even-aged native forests through assisted regeneration from in-situ seed sources, such as rootstock and lignotubers, on land where vegetation was previously cleared. The standard requirements for this methodology mandate the removal of suppressors to regrowth on land that has been suppressed for at least 10 years. For this project, activities involve managing the timing and extent of livestock grazing, as well as the humane management of feral animals, to allow native trees to regenerate.

The Paroo Shire region is heavily utilised for grazing sheep and cattle on native vegetation. The area experiences a semi-arid climate with variable, low rainfall, and the local mulga lands generally feature red earths, stony plains, and claypans.

The project is managed by Cheryl and James Hatch, with Select Carbon Pty Ltd acting as the project agent. A Carbon Abatement Contract (CAC683087) was established for the project in April 2017 and formally completed in February 2022. The participant registration was also varied to officially reflect both Cheryl and James Hatch as proponents in September 2025.
