Kenmore Regeneration Project

Kenmore Regeneration Project is a Human-Induced Regeneration (HIR) project located approximately 50 to 60 km south of Charleville in the Murweh Shire of Queensland. It was registered in November 2018 and covers an area of 23,697.38 ha.

Human-Induced Regeneration projects involve establishing permanent, even-aged native forests by altering land management practices. For this methodology, standard requirements typically include ceasing the mechanical or chemical destruction of regrowth and carefully managing the timing and extent of grazing to allow native vegetation to recover.

The Charleville and wider Murweh Shire region is predominantly known for rural land uses, specifically cattle, sheep, and goat grazing. The area has a semi-arid climate with an average annual rainfall of around 490 mm. The soils typically found in this part of the Great Artesian Basin include red mulga soils, sandy loams, and alluvial clays associated with the Warrego River catchment system.

This project was specifically established to encourage assisted regeneration from in-situ seed sources, including rootstock and lignotubers, on land that had been previously cleared and where regrowth had been actively suppressed for at least 10 years before the project began. There have also been notable administrative variations over the project's life; for example, Kurrajong Partners Pty Ltd was added as a participant in August 2020 and was subsequently removed in August 2025. Additionally, the project has actively supplied Australian Carbon Credit Units (ACCUs) to the corporate market, having been utilised by entities such as AGL Energy and the Surf Coast Shire to meet their carbon neutral offset obligations.
