Arlington Regeneration Project

Arlington Regeneration Project is a Human-Induced Regeneration (HIR) project located at the 'Arlington' property, approximately 130km south of Mitchell and 90km north of Bollon in south-west Queensland. It was registered in March 2022 and covers 12,817.23 ha.

Human-Induced Regeneration projects involve establishing permanent native forests through assisted regeneration from in-situ seed sources, including rootstock and lignotubers, on land that was previously cleared of vegetation. The methodology relies on changing land management practices, which in this case involves ceasing the mechanical or chemical suppression of regrowth and managing the timing and extent of livestock grazing to allow native trees to successfully reach forest cover.

The surrounding Mulga Lands bioregion is widely known for broadacre sheep and cattle grazing. The local environment is considered semi-arid, receiving an average annual rainfall of approximately 400-450mm, and the landscape is characterised by slightly undulating soft red loam soils and coarse creek flats.

This project was initially established under Wyuna Ag Co Pty Ltd before the proponent officially varied to its subsidiary, Mulga Ag Co Pty Ltd, in June 2024. The Arlington property forms a vital part of a massive regenerative agriculture aggregation operated by Wyuna Land, which includes neighbouring holdings such as Vincentia, Lussvale, and the recently acquired Bendena Station. Together, this portfolio focuses on restoring the native Mulga ecosystem and is projected to generate roughly 2.2 million Australian Carbon Credit Units (ACCUs) over the lifespan of the projects.
