Gullett Carbon project

Gullett Carbon project is a soil carbon sequestration project located approximately 35km northeast of Wellington in the Central West region of New South Wales. Registered in June 2021, the project covers a project area of 278 hectares. The surrounding region is characterized by mixed farming operations, primarily grazing and cropping, situated within the NSW Slopes and Plains.

The project operates under the 2018 Soil Carbon methodology (Measurement of Soil Carbon Sequestration in Agricultural Systems). This method requires the proponent to measure baseline soil carbon levels and implement new management activities designed to increase carbon stocks over time. Specific activities for this project include altering the stocking rate, duration, or intensity of grazing, which is often paired with pasture improvement strategies to enhance soil health.

The environment in the Wellington district typically experiences a temperate climate with an average annual rainfall of approximately 620mm. Local soil types generally consist of red earths, chromosols, and light to medium clays, which are well-suited to the grazing improvements proposed by the project. A notable administrative change occurred on February 23, 2022, when a variation was approved to remove certain areas from the project's original boundary.
