Devon Park Biodiversity and Carbon Project

Devon Park Biodiversity and Carbon Project is an environmental planting project located in the Southern Grampians region of Victoria, near the town of Dunkeld. It was registered in May 2022 and currently covers 1297.40ha.

Environmental planting projects under this methodology involve establishing permanent plantings of native trees and shrubs. These standard environmental plantings require the establishment of species at a sufficient density to achieve forest cover, typically reaching at least 2 metres in height and 20% crown cover. In this specific project, the species mix has been carefully designed to reflect the natural structure and composition of the local native vegetation community.

The Southern Grampians area is heavily utilised for agriculture, known particularly for having one of the densest populations of broad-acre livestock farming in the world, alongside significant grain cropping operations. The region falls into Victoria's high rainfall zone, receiving approximately 680mm annually. The local environment consists of fertile volcanic plains, meaning the soils are generally Dunkeld basalt, presenting as robust solodic soils and reddish chocolate soils along stony rises.

The project has undergone several variations, adding extra land area to the project boundary in both 2023 and 2026. In November 2025, the project updated its methodology to the latest Reforestation by Environmental or Mallee Plantings-FullCAM Methodology Determination 2024. The project is operated by DPC Administration Pty Ltd, with Corporate Carbon Advisory Pty Ltd acting as the active agent.
