'Gardiner Carbon Project (Revoked)

Gardiner Carbon Project (Revoked) is a soil carbon project located approximately 10km southeast of Mansfield in Victoria. It was registered on October 23, 2020, and covers a project area of 490.93 hectares.

Soil carbon projects under the 2018 Measurement of Soil Carbon Sequestration in Agricultural Systems methodology involve modifying agricultural and land management practices to increase the volume of carbon stored in the soil. This specific project aimed to achieve this sequestration by strategically altering the stocking rate, duration, and intensity of livestock grazing.

The Mansfield region is heavily utilized for livestock grazing, agriculture, and forestry operations. The environment is considered temperate and typically experiences moderate to high rainfall. The regional geology largely features fertile clay loams and sedimentary-derived soils that are well-suited for productive pasture management.

The project was managed by the proponent Agriprove Solutions Pty Ltd, with Agriprove Pty Ltd acting as the operational agent. An interesting note regarding this project is its recent cancellation; on July 23, 2026, the project was officially revoked under section 30 of the CFI Rule. Section 30 relates to voluntary revocations, indicating that the proponent proactively chose to withdraw the property from the Australian Carbon Credit Unit (ACCU) scheme, ceasing any future credit generation.
