Miltalie 10 (Revoked)

Miltalie 10 (Revoked) is an environmental planting project located in the locality of Miltalie, approximately 20 to 30 kilometers northwest of the coastal township of Cowell on South Australia’s Eyre Peninsula. The project was registered in May 2022 and originally covered a total area of 26.36 hectares. The surrounding region is heavily defined by broadacre agriculture, specifically cereal cropping (wheat and barley) and sheep grazing, which aligns with the project's baseline of converting land previously used for agricultural purposes.

The project operated under the 'Reforestation by Environmental or Mallee Plantings-FullCAM' methodology. This method involves establishing permanent plantings of native tree species, typically mallee eucalypts or other local species, on land that has been clear of forest cover for at least five years. Unlike methods that require direct field measurement of trees, this methodology calculates carbon abatement using the FullCAM computer model, which estimates biomass growth based on the specific location, soil, and climate data.

Environmentally, the Miltalie region is characterized by a semi-arid, Mediterranean-style climate with low annual rainfall, generally averaging between 300mm and 400mm. The soils in this part of the Eyre Peninsula are predominantly calcareous sandy loams, often featuring limestone ridges or 'calcrete' layers, which native mallee vegetation is well-adapted to survive.

Notable administrative activity occurred throughout the project's short lifespan. After its initial registration, the project area was varied twice: initially expanding in November 2022, and then reducing in August 2023. On October 1, 2025, the project was revoked under Section 30 of the Carbon Credits (Carbon Farming Initiative) Rule 2015. As Section 30 of the Rule pertains to the information required when applying to revoke a project, this indicates the revocation was likely a voluntary action taken by the proponents, Anthony George Hull and Donald Rex Foster (Broad Acre Unit Trust), rather than a compliance enforcement action.
