Wombah Regeneration Project

Wombah Regeneration Project is a Human-Induced Regeneration (HIR) project located on Wombah Station in the Paroo Shire of southern Queensland. The property sits approximately 50km northeast of the border town of Hungerford and about 180km southwest of Cunnamulla. Registered in March 2017, the project covers a massive area of 55,064 hectares.

The region lies within the Mulga Lands bioregion, an area traditionally used for grazing sheep and cattle. The environment is semi-arid, characterized by low, variable rainfall and red earth or sandy loam soils. These conditions support the growth of native species such as Mulga (Acacia aneura) and Poplar Box, which are the primary targets for regeneration in this project.

Human-Induced Regeneration projects generate carbon credits by allowing native forests to regenerate on land where regrowth was previously suppressed, usually by livestock or feral animals. Key activities for the Wombah project include managing the timing and extent of grazing and humane feral animal control to reduce pressure on young vegetation.

A notable aspect of this project is its completed commercial contract (CAC683087) with the Australian Government, which concluded in February 2022. While the fixed delivery contract has ended, the project continues to operate under its crediting period until 2043. The project is managed with the assistance of Select Carbon Pty Ltd.
