Bimbijy Station Regeneration Project.
ERF121681
Project Information:
Bimbijy Station Regeneration Project is a Human-Induced Regeneration project located at Bimbijy Station, situated north of Beacon in the remote Mid West region of Western Australia, within the Shire of Mount Marshall. It was registered in May 2018 and covers a vast area of 87,688.42 hectares.
Human-Induced Regeneration (HIR) projects involve establishing permanent, even-aged native forests through assisted regeneration from in-situ seed sources, including rootstock and lignotubers. A standard requirement for this methodology is that the land must have been historically cleared of vegetation, with regrowth suppressed for at least 10 years prior to the project commencing. To encourage native tree growth, proponents must manage or cease suppressive activities. In this project, the primary activity is carefully managing the timing and the extent of livestock grazing.
The remote northern goldfields and Mid West region is characterised by an arid to semi-arid climate with typically low rainfall. The local environment features red earth soils, sandy loams, spinifex, and rocky breakaways. The primary land use in this region is broadacre pastoral grazing. Alongside its carbon farming and pastoral operations, Bimbijy Station also operates as an outback tourist destination offering farm stay accommodation and camping.
This project successfully completed a fixed-delivery Carbon Abatement Contract (CAC788080) for 6,536 units, which was originally contracted in December 2018. Following a registry variation in October 2024, Gregory French was removed as a participant, leaving Tania Henley as the sole proponent alongside carbon service provider Select Carbon Pty Ltd.
