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 66.32 ha.

Soil carbon projects under the Estimation of Soil Organic Carbon Sequestration using Measurement and Models method involve undertaking new or materially different land management activities to increase carbon stored in agricultural soils. Standard requirements dictate that proponents must periodically measure the increase in soil carbon either through a measurement-only approach using soil core samples, or a hybrid approach combining models and physical measurements. This project specifically increases soil carbon by re-establishing or rejuvenating pasture through seeding and pasture cropping.

The Upper Murray region around Corryong is known for livestock grazing, particularly beef and dairy farming, as well as forestry operations. The area is considered a high rainfall zone, and soils are generally fertile alluvial loams and clay loams.

Interestingly, this project was varied on April 15, 2025, moving from the previous 2018 methodology to the updated 2021 soil carbon determination. This change allows the project to benefit from the updated rules of the newer method, such as utilizing the flexible hybrid measurement approach. The project is facilitated by Agriprove Solutions Pty Ltd.
