Terraldon Regeneration Project

The Terraldon Regeneration Project is a Human-Induced Regeneration (HIR) project located approximately 100km south-west of Cunnamulla in the Paroo Shire of Queensland. Registered in November 2018, the project encompasses a significant area of 34,979 hectares. The property is situated in the Mulga Lands bioregion, an area historically renowned for sheep and cattle grazing on large pastoral stations.

Human-Induced Regeneration projects involve regenerating native forests by suppressing activities that previously prevented growth, rather than planting new trees. In this context, the project facilitates the restoration of native vegetation, likely Mulga (Acacia aneura) and eucalypt woodlands, by managing the timing and extent of livestock grazing and controlling feral animals. This allows existing rootstock and lignotubers in the soil to regenerate into a permanent forest cover.

The environment in this region is classified as semi-arid, typically receiving low and variable rainfall averaging around 350mm annually. The soils are predominantly red earths and sandy loams, characteristic of the "hard mulga" country found in south-west Queensland. The proponent, Tinnenburra Pty Ltd as Trustee for the Godfrey Family Trust, manages the land, which shares its name with the historic Tinnenburra pastoral run, once famous for its massive shearing operations.
