'Mount Wammiga Regeneration Project

Mount Wammiga Regeneration Project is a Human-Induced Regeneration (HIR) project located at Burrawa Station near the Mount Wammiga geographical landmark, approximately 70km southwest of Bourke in Outback New South Wales. It was registered in September 2023 and covers an initial project area of 10,570.47 hectares.

Human-Induced Regeneration projects involve establishing permanent native forests by altering land management practices to allow the land to recover. This methodology requires proponents to encourage the regeneration of native trees on land that was previously cleared of vegetation and where natural regrowth has been suppressed for at least 10 years prior to the project commencing.

The Bourke and Cobar Peneplain region is historically known for large-scale pastoral operations, primarily sheep and cattle grazing. The local environment is classified as semi-arid, experiencing hot summers and low annual rainfall averaging roughly 330-390mm. Soils in this outback region typically consist of red earths, sandy loams, and granitic soils.

To achieve true forest cover, this project's primary activity involves the humane management and control of feral animals, which reduces grazing pressure and allows native vegetation to recover. The project relies on in-situ seed sources, including rootstock and lignotubers, to naturally regenerate the area. Interestingly, public registry data notes a project variation was made on 12/12/2025, where certain specific areas were formally removed from the project's overall land footprint. The project is driven by Burrawa Pty Ltd as trustee for the Burrawa Station Family Trust, alongside carbon service provider Climate Friendly Pty Ltd.
