Rosedale Carbon Project

Rosedale Carbon Project is a soil carbon sequestration project located in the Goondiwindi local government area of southern Queensland, near the New South Wales border. It was registered in February 2021 and covers 460.02 hectares. The broader Goondiwindi region is highly regarded as a major agricultural hub, known for a mixture of intensive farming operations and livestock grazing across high-demand rural land.

Soil carbon projects operating under the Measurement of Soil Carbon Sequestration in Agricultural Systems Methodology Determination 2018 involve implementing new or materially different management practices to increase the amount of carbon stored in the soil. Baseline carbon levels are measured before the activities commence, and subsequent physical soil testing quantifies the carbon sequestered over time to generate carbon credits.

The Goondiwindi area is typically characterized by a warm, semi-arid climate with reliable, summer-dominant rainfall averaging around 621 mm annually. The soils in this river valley region are predominantly fertile heavy clays, which provide excellent water-holding capacity and support the area's strong agricultural productivity.

This project specifically aims to build soil carbon by applying nutrients to the land in the form of synthetic or non-synthetic fertilisers to address material deficiencies. The project is managed by Agriprove Solutions Pty Ltd and features a nominated permanence period of 25 years, with an active crediting period running until February 2046. Notably, in March 2025, a variation was made to the project area, resulting in specific land parcels being removed from the original footprint.
