Bimbijy Station Regeneration Project.

ERF121681

Project Information:

Bimbijy Station Regeneration Project is a Human-Induced Regeneration project located at Bimbijy Station, approximately 60km southeast of Paynes Find in the Mid West region of Western Australia. It was registered in May 2018 and covers 87,688.42 ha.

Human-Induced Regeneration projects involve establishing permanent native forests through assisted regeneration from in-situ seed sources, including rootstock and lignotubers. This requires ceasing activities that previously suppressed tree growth, which for this project involves the active management of the timing and the extent of grazing on land that was cleared of vegetation for at least 10 years prior.

The Paynes Find region is known for its remote pastoral leases, primarily focusing on broadacre sheep grazing. The environment is classified as semi-arid with low, highly variable rainfall, while the local soils typically consist of sandy loams, red loams, and clay loams situated over decaying granite and greenstone.

This project was initially contracted by the Clean Energy Regulator in December 2018 and successfully completed its fixed delivery contract in July 2021 after supplying 6,536 ACCUs. The project's high-quality carbon credits have notably been purchased by Crown Sydney Resort to offset their residual emissions and help achieve carbon neutrality. Following a variation in October 2024, the participant registration was transitioned from Gregory French and Tania Henley solely to Tania Henley. In an interesting local event in July 2025, Tania Henley made international news when she discovered and rescued a 26-year-old missing German backpacker, Carolina Wilga, who had been lost in the harsh Western Australian outback for 12 days.
