Weranga Soil Carbon Project

Weranga Soil Carbon Project is a soil carbon project located at Weranga in the Western Downs Region of Queensland, approximately 70km southwest of Dalby. It was registered in November 2022 and covers 2,211.03 hectares.

Soil carbon projects under the Measurement and Models methodology involve changing agricultural management practices to increase and maintain the amount of carbon stored in the soil. For this specific project, the methodology requires altering the stocking rate, duration, or intensity of grazing to promote soil vegetation cover and improve overall soil health.

The Western Downs region is heavily utilised for broadacre cropping, beef cattle grazing, and feedlots. The area typically experiences a summer-dominant rainfall pattern, averaging around 660mm annually, which can be semi-arid and is historically prone to fluctuating dry periods or "green droughts". The local environment is situated in the Brigalow-Belah floodplains, where the soils are highly fertile grey and brown cracking clays.

The project proponent is CFC Cattle Company Pty Ltd, acting as the trustee for the CW Davison Family Trust, an active cattle and horse breeding enterprise. They are working alongside Carbon Link Operations Pty Ltd, who serves as the project agent. In October 2025, a variation was applied to the project area, removing some of the originally listed land from the project bounds.
