Bimbijy Station Regeneration Project.

Bimbijy Station Regeneration Project is a Human-Induced Regeneration (HIR) project located on the Bimbijy pastoral lease, approximately 100km northeast of the wheatbelt town of Beacon in the Shire of Mount Marshall, Western Australia. Registered in May 2018, the project covers a vast area of 87,688 hectares within the state's Southern Rangelands.

The region is characterized by a semi-arid to arid climate with low, irregular rainfall (typically averaging between 200mm and 250mm annually). The landscape features red earth and sandy loam soils that support native vegetation such as Acacia shrublands (Mulga) and Eucalypt woodlands. The primary land use in this remote area is extensive pastoral grazing for sheep and cattle.

The project operates under the Human-Induced Regeneration methodology, which requires the proponent to suppress activities that previously prevented native forest regrowth. In this case, the project focuses on managing the timing and extent of grazing pressure to allow natural seed sources (rootstock and lignotubers) to regenerate into permanent native forest.

An interesting aspect of this project is its successful completion of a Carbon Abatement Contract (CAC788080) with the Australian Government. The contract was completed in July 2021, with 6,536 Australian Carbon Credit Units (ACCUs) delivered. Additionally, beyond carbon farming and grazing, the property has diversified its operations to include station stay accommodation, offering visitors a remote outback experience. The project is managed with the assistance of carbon service provider Select Carbon Pty Ltd.
