Kalli Station (Revoked)

Kalli Station (Revoked) was a Human-Induced Regeneration (HIR) project located in the remote Murchison region of Western Australia, approximately 100km northwest of the town of Cue. The project was registered in September 2021 and covered a vast expanse of 85,502 hectares. The station itself is a pastoral lease that has historically operated as both a sheep and cattle station, situated within the Shire of Murchison, an area with no gazetted towns and a sparse population dedicated almost entirely to pastoralism and mining.

The project operated under the Human-Induced Regeneration methodology, which facilitates the recovery of native forests by removing suppression mechanisms. In the context of Kalli Station, the primary activity was the management of the timing and extent of grazing by livestock and feral animals. By controlling these pressures, the project aimed to allow native vegetation, specifically local species capable of reaching forest height (2 meters) and canopy cover (20%), to regenerate naturally from in-situ seed sources like rootstock and lignotubers.

Environmentally, the region is classified as arid to semi-arid, typically receiving low and irregular rainfall averaging around 200mm to 230mm annually. The landscape is defined by the "Kalli" land system, characterized by red sandy earth soils, hardpan plains, and laterite breakaways. The vegetation is predominantly Mulga (Acacia aneura) woodlands and shrublands, which are well-adapted to the harsh, dry conditions but sensitive to overgrazing.

A significant note for this project is its status: it was revoked on December 1, 2025, under Section 30 of the CFI Rule. Section 30 generally governs voluntary revocation by the proponent, which often occurs if a project is no longer viable, the land is sold to a non-participating entity, or the land use changes significantly. Prior to this, the project was known as "AIC HIR WA2 KS" before being renamed to Kalli Station in July 2024.
