Edjudina Regeneration Project

Edjudina Regeneration Project is a Human-Induced Regeneration (HIR) project located on Edjudina Station, approximately 240km north-east of Kalgoorlie in the Goldfields region of Western Australia. Registered in May 2018, the project originally covered a vast area of 317,080.75 hectares. The general land use in this remote region is heavily dominated by pastoral operations, specifically sheep and cattle grazing, alongside extensive historic and modern gold mining exploration.

Human-Induced Regeneration (Method 1.1) projects involve establishing permanent, even-aged native forests through assisted regeneration from in-situ seed sources, such as existing rootstock and lignotubers. To be eligible, the project area must have been previously cleared of vegetation and subject to regrowth suppression for at least 10 years prior to the project's commencement. The standard requirement to achieve carbon sequestration involves removing these suppression mechanisms. For the Edjudina Regeneration Project, the primary project activity is the management of the timing and extent of livestock grazing, which relieves grazing pressure and allows native forest cover to naturally recover.

The environment of the Edjudina region is characterized as a semi-arid, hot desert climate. The area experiences low and erratic rainfall, averaging around 235 mm annually, with highly evaporative conditions and occasional heavy dumps from decaying tropical cyclones. The landscape features low relief and internal drainage into dry salt lakes. The soils typically consist of red sandy earths, clay loams, and degraded rangeland soils that are standard across the Yilgarn Craton and Eastern Goldfields.

In addition to its carbon-farming potential, Edjudina Station has a fascinating local history. The Edjudina Goldfield, discovered in 1893, is renowned for containing the longest continuous line of auriferous (gold-bearing) reefs in Australia, stretching roughly 20 kilometres. The station is also notable as the discovery site of the Edjudina Stony Meteorite in 1969. Regarding the project's administration, the primary participant was updated from Hampton Transport Services Pty Ltd to Regenco Projects Pty Ltd in August 2025, and a former Carbon Abatement Contract (CAC514806) tied to the project lapsed or was terminated in early 2024. Furthermore, the project area underwent a variation in September 2025, reducing its overall registered footprint.
