ShadeShelter2022 (Revoked)

ShadeShelter2022 (Revoked) is an environmental planting project located approximately 8km north of Murwillumbah and 15km southwest of Tweed Heads in the Northern Rivers region of New South Wales. It was registered in October 2022 and covers 2.29ha.

Environmental planting projects under the Reforestation methodology involve establishing permanent, mixed-species native trees on land that has been predominantly used for agricultural purposes for at least five years. Standard requirements dictate planting these native species to achieve a minimum stocking density of at least 200 stems per hectare to establish a permanent forest canopy.

The Murwillumbah and wider Tweed area is known for cattle grazing, dairy farming, and sugarcane cropping. The region experiences a sub-tropical climate considered to be a high-rainfall zone, and the local soils are generally highly fertile basalt and clay loams derived from the historic Tweed Volcano.

This project was initially established by David Justin Hill to create permanent plantings of local native tree species on agricultural land. However, the project was short-lived; it was officially revoked under section 30 of the CFI Rule on May 6, 2025, which typically occurs when a project is voluntarily withdrawn by the proponent or fails to meet specific administrative requirements.
