Coralie Station Regeneration Project

The Coralie Station Regeneration Project is a Human-Induced Regeneration (HIR) project located approximately 60km southwest of Croydon in the Gulf Savannah region of Far North Queensland. Registered in August 2020, the project covers a massive 67,649 hectares within the boundaries of Coralie Station, a pastoral lease historically used for cattle breeding and fattening.

The region is defined by a semi-arid tropical climate with a distinct wet season, typically receiving around 560mm of annual rainfall. The landscape consists of open rangelands and "flood-out" country, featuring soils that range from sandy loams to clay-rich flats capable of supporting Coolibah, Melaleuca, and Eucalyptus woodlands. The project operates by managing the timing and extent of grazing pressure to allow suppressed native forests to regenerate. This is often achieved through the installation of new water points and fencing to distribute cattle more evenly, reducing the impact on young regrowth.

Notably, the project is managed by Upscale Carbon and the Carbon Farmland Fund, entities that emphasize integrating carbon farming with ongoing agricultural productivity rather than "locking up" the land. The proponents have partnered with the Tagalaka Aboriginal Corporation, the Traditional Owners of the land, to support vegetation management. In early 2025, the project was renamed from "Catchment Conservation Alliance - Southern Rivers Initiative Site #7" to its current title, reflecting its specific identity as a standalone station-based project. The property has also undergone assessments using the "Accounting for Nature" framework to scientifically monitor ecological health alongside carbon sequestration.
