Mount Wammiga Regeneration Project

Mount Wammiga Regeneration Project is a Human-Induced Regeneration project located at Burrawa Station, approximately 70km southwest of Bourke in New South Wales. It was registered on September 10, 2023, and covers an initial area of 10,570.47 hectares. Notably, a variation to the project area occurred in December 2025, which removed some designated areas from the project boundaries.

Human-Induced Regeneration (HIR) of a Permanent Even-Aged Native Forest involves changing land management practices to facilitate the regrowth of native trees. Projects of this type allow previously cleared or degraded native vegetation to regenerate, and the methodology requires that regrowth had been suppressed for at least 10 years prior to commencement.

The Bourke area is historically known for pastoral operations, predominantly sheep and cattle grazing. The region is characterised by a hot, semi-arid climate with low average annual rainfall of approximately 330mm. Soils in this part of New South Wales are typically red earths, Chromosols, and sandy to clay loams, with naturally hardsetting hardpan soils prevalent to the west of Bourke.

This project aims to establish permanent native forests through assisted regeneration from in-situ seed sources, which includes native rootstock and lignotubers. To achieve this regrowth and remove the pressure suppressing the vegetation, the project undertakes the humane management and control of feral animals.

The project is operated by Burrawa Pty Ltd as trustee for the Burrawa Station Family Trust, alongside their project agent Climate Friendly Pty Ltd. The crediting period for the carbon storage is scheduled to run for 25 years, concluding in 2048. Mount Wammiga, the project's namesake, is a local prominent hill standing 379m above sea level in the Bourke Shire.
