Milhouse Reforestation Project (Revoked)

Milhouse Reforestation Project (Revoked) is a Human-Induced Regeneration project located approximately 36km north-northwest of Cunnamulla in South West Queensland. Registered in March 2017, the project originally covered an area of 5.42ha.

Human-Induced Regeneration (HIR) projects involve changing land management practices to allow native forests to naturally regenerate from in-situ seed sources, rootstock, and lignotubers. In this specific project, the main activity was managing the timing and extent of livestock grazing to relieve pressure on native vegetation. The standard goal of this methodology is for the regenerating seedlings to eventually achieve "forest cover," which is legally defined as having at least 20% crown canopy cover and reaching a minimum height of 2 metres.

The Paroo Shire region surrounding Cunnamulla is traditionally known for its large-scale sheep and cattle grazing operations. The area experiences a semi-arid climate with summer-dominant rainfall, and the local soils are generally made up of red earths, sandy loams, and fertile black soil floodplains.

The project has an interesting administrative history. In February 2018, the project was restructured, and specific land areas along with 37,422 Kyoto Australian Carbon Credit Units (ACCUs) were transferred to a related undertaking, the Flanders Carbon Project (ERF103197). More recently, in July 2026, the Clean Energy Regulator issued a notice requiring the proponent, Paniri Ventures Pty Ltd, to relinquish 56 ACCUs. Following this enforcement action, the project was officially revoked under section 29 of the CFI Rule in September 2026.
