Rossmore Landscape Project
ERF168123
Project Information:
Rossmore Landscape Project is an agricultural soil carbon project located on the property "Rossmore" near Burren Junction, approximately 45km northwest of Wee Waa in New South Wales. It was registered in October 2021 and covers a sizable 6,618.30 hectares.
Soil carbon sequestration projects under the Estimation of Soil Organic Carbon Sequestration Using Measurement and Models methodology involve implementing new or materially different agricultural management practices to increase the storage of carbon in agricultural soils. Standard requirements include establishing a baseline carbon level and conducting regular soil sampling, as well as using approved modeling techniques to measure and verify the amount of carbon stored over time.
The Walgett and Wee Waa region is well known for both dryland and irrigated agriculture, particularly cotton, as well as sheep and cattle grazing. The area experiences a semi-arid climate with highly variable rainfall and is characterized by productive black clay soil plains.
To increase soil carbon, this project utilizes a combination of altering the stocking rate, duration, and intensity of grazing to promote soil vegetation cover, alongside applying nutrients in the form of synthetic or non-synthetic fertilizers to address material soil deficiencies.
The Rossmore property is operated by the Sendall family, who are active members of the local agricultural community. In February 2026, the project was formally varied to transition from the older 2018 measurement-based method to the more recent 2021 measurement and models determination. The project has a nominated permanence period of 25 years and is supported by carbon project agent Climate Friendly Pty Ltd.
