Mount Constellation Carbon Project (Revoked)

Mount Constellation Carbon Project (Revoked) is a soil carbon project located approximately 15km southeast of Corryong, near the Victoria-New South Wales border in the Upper Murray region. It was registered in August 2018 and covers 159.20 hectares.

Operating under the Sequestering Carbon in Soils in Grazing Systems (2014) methodology, soil carbon projects involve adopting new agricultural land management practices to increase the storage of organic carbon in the soil profile. Standard requirements for this method include establishing a baseline carbon level, adopting eligible activities such as pasture cropping or altering grazing intensity, and undertaking rigorous direct soil sampling to measure sequestration over the crediting period.

The surrounding Upper Murray area is well known for its productive agricultural land, which is primarily utilized for beef and sheep grazing, alongside regional forestry. The environment is classified as a high-rainfall temperate zone, typically receiving over 750mm of rain annually. The local soil types are varied but largely include clay loams, granitic soils on the slopes, and fertile alluvial soils in the valleys, making the region highly conducive to intense pasture growth.

This project was established by Corporate Carbon Solutions Pty Ltd to increase soil carbon in the grazing system by actively rejuvenating pastures. The specific activities included managing pasture and undertaking pasture cropping. The project was officially revoked on 11 July 2025 under section 32 of the Carbon Credits (Carbon Farming Initiative) Rule, which generally signifies a voluntary revocation at the request of the project proponent, ending its participation in the scheme.
