Weebo Station Regeneration Project

Weebo Station Regeneration Project is a Human-Induced Regeneration project located at Weebo Station, approximately 50 kilometres south of Leinster and 90 kilometres north-west of Leonora in the Goldfields region of Western Australia. It was registered in May 2018 and covers a vast 253,672.36 hectares.

Human-Induced Regeneration (HIR) projects involve establishing permanent native forests through assisted regeneration from in-situ seed sources, such as rootstock and lignotubers. These projects require a verified change in land management practices, such as managing the timing and extent of livestock grazing, to allow native trees to regenerate on land where vegetation was previously cleared and regrowth suppressed for at least 10 years.

The Leinster and Leonora area is known for extensive pastoral operations, operating largely as large-scale sheep and cattle stations. The region has a semi-arid climate characteristic of Western Australia's arid interior, and the landscape features extensive plains with skeletal soils on granite, stony plains, and occasional low breakaways.

This project operates on a historic pastoral lease first established prior to 1901. The property lies on the traditional lands of the Kuwarra people and is historically noted for the culturally significant "Weebo Stones". The carbon project entered into an abatement contract (CAC944239) in December 2018, which reached completion in January 2022. Additionally, the project has undergone area variations in both 2021 and 2024 to officially remove specific portions of land from the registered project boundaries.
