Page Carbon Project

Page Carbon Project is a soil carbon project located approximately 15km north of Corryong near the border of Victoria and New South Wales. It was registered in November 2020 and covers a project area of 66.32 hectares.

Soil carbon projects managed under the Estimation of Soil Organic Carbon Sequestration using Measurement and Models methodology involve implementing new or materially different land management activities to build soil organic carbon. Standard requirements for this methodology dictate that the landholder must conduct baseline soil sampling, introduce at least one eligible activity, such as altering grazing or cropping practices, and calculate carbon changes using either direct measurement or a hybrid approach that incorporates soil carbon model estimates.

The general land use in the Upper Murray region surrounding Corryong is heavily focused on agricultural production, particularly cattle and sheep grazing. The environment is typically classified as a moderate to high rainfall zone, with nearby forested areas receiving around 1000mm of annual precipitation, which is highly capable of supporting robust pasture systems. Soils in these agricultural valleys are predominantly clay loams and alluvial deposits.

This project aims to increase carbon in the agricultural soil system specifically by re-establishing or rejuvenating pasture through seeding or pasture cropping. It is managed by Agriprove Solutions Pty Ltd, which is recognised as a major developer of soil carbon projects in Australia. Notably, while the project initially commenced under the 2018 methodology determination, it completed a variation in April 2025 to transition to the updated 2021 method framework, allowing it to take advantage of the methodology's integrated modelling capabilities.
