Miltalie 10 (Revoked)

Miltalie 10 (Revoked) was an environmental planting project located in the locality of Miltalie, approximately 25km northwest of the coastal town of Cowell on South Australia’s Eyre Peninsula. Registered in May 2022, the project initially covered a small footprint of around 26 hectares before undergoing variations to add and subsequently remove land. The project was situated in a region heavily utilized for mixed farming, specifically cereal cropping and sheep grazing, which characterizes much of the Franklin Harbour district.

The project operated under the Carbon Farming Initiative's Reforestation by Environmental or Mallee Plantings methodology. This method involves establishing permanent plantings of native tree species, such as local mallee eucalypts, on land that has been cleared of forest for at least five years. To comply, plantings must be established at a density sufficient to achieve forest cover (typically over 200 stems per hectare) and reach a height of at least two meters.

Environmentally, the Miltalie region experiences a semi-arid climate with rainfall predominantly occurring in winter. The soils in this part of the Eyre Peninsula are typically Calcarosols, calcareous, sandy loams that are well-drained but often limited by low water-holding capacity and susceptibility to wind erosion.

A notable aspect of this project is its administrative history. After expanding its area in late 2022 and reducing it in mid-2023, the project was voluntarily revoked in January 2025 under Section 30 of the CFI Rule. This specific section of the rule generally applies to the voluntary revocation of projects where no Australian Carbon Credit Units (ACCUs) have been issued, suggesting the project was closed before it began generating tradeable credits.
