Miltalie 10 (Revoked)

ERF172308

Project Information:

Miltalie 10 (Revoked) is a permanent mixed-species environmental planting project located in the locality of Miltalie on the Eyre Peninsula, approximately 28km northwest of Cowell in South Australia. It was registered in May 2022 and covers 26.36 ha.

Environmental planting projects under the FullCAM methodology involve planting native trees and shrubs to establish permanent forest cover. These plantings are designed to reach standard forest cover requirements, typically at least 200 stems per hectare or achieving 2 meters in height and 20% crown cover at maturity, and must be established on land that was predominantly used for agricultural purposes for at least five years prior to project commencement.

The Miltalie and wider Franklin Harbour region is well known for broadacre farming, primarily wheat cropping and sheep grazing. The area experiences a semi-arid climate with low average annual rainfall of approximately 350mm. Soils in the local area generally consist of sandy and clay loams, with underlying dolomitic marble and calc-silicate rock contributing to the local geology.

Interestingly, the Miltalie 10 project area underwent multiple structural variations, with land portions added in November 2022 and subsequently removed in August 2023. The project was managed by Anthony George Hull and Donald Rex Foster as trustees for the Broad Acre Unit Trust, but was ultimately revoked in October 2025 under section 30 of the CFI Rule. Outside of traditional agriculture and carbon farming, the drought-prone Miltalie area has a unique history of small-scale jade and asbestos mining and is also home to emerging native flower farming ventures.
