South Australian Conservation Alliance (Revoked)

South Australian Conservation Alliance (Revoked) was a carbon sequestration project located in the Limestone Coast region of South Australia, approximately 25km southeast of Naracoorte, near the Victorian border. Registered in November 2017 and revoked in August 2025, the project covered a relatively small area of 395 hectares within the Naracoorte Lucindale local government area. The project was managed by Terra Carbon Pty Limited, a subsidiary of the environmental markets developer GreenCollar.

The project operated under the Human-Induced Regeneration (HIR) methodology. This method credits carbon stored by regenerating native forests on land where vegetation had previously been suppressed, typically by livestock or feral animals. Project activities focused on managing the timing and extent of grazing and controlling feral pests to allow native vegetation to recover and reach forest status (defined as over 2 metres in height with at least 20% canopy cover).

The region surrounding the project area is characterized by a temperate climate with reliable winter rainfall, generally averaging between 500mm and 600mm annually. The landscape is renowned for its fertile soils, including the famous Terra Rossa (red clay over limestone) and sandy loams, which support a mix of high-value agriculture, including viticulture (in the nearby Wrattonbully region), prime lamb and cattle grazing, and forestry.

While the "South Australian Conservation Alliance" name suggests a broad coalition, it appears to be a portfolio naming convention used by the proponent for its South Australian assets; other active sites under this banner (such as Site #2) are located in the rangelands near Wudinna. This specific project (ERF119593) was revoked under Section 30 of the CFI Rule, which refers to a voluntary revocation. This typically occurs when a project proponent opts to exit the scheme, potentially due to land management changes or if the project did not meet its modelled sequestration targets.
