Dungowan Regeneration Project (Revoked)

The Dungowan Regeneration Project (Revoked) was a carbon abatement initiative located in the Victoria River District of the Northern Territory, approximately 60km south of the locality of Top Springs and 350km south of Katherine. Registered in September 2023, the project encompassed a massive area of 124,159 hectares, situated within the remote pastoral landscapes defined by the Buntine Highway. Although the project shares its name with "Dungowan Station", a prominent New South Wales property also owned by the proponent, Consolidated Pastoral Company (CPC), the project's registered coordinates and local government area (Victoria Daly) place it firmly in the Northern Territory, likely traversing CPC's Montejinni Station which operates in this specific region.

The project operated under the Human-Induced Regeneration (HIR) methodology, which credits landholders for allowing native forests to regenerate by suppressing impediments such as uncontrolled grazing or invasive weeds. In this context, the project aimed to manage the timing and extent of cattle grazing to facilitate the regrowth of vegetation that had been suppressed for at least 10 years. The region is characterized by a semi-arid, tropical savanna climate with distinct wet and dry seasons, typically receiving monsoonal rainfall followed by long dry periods. The terrain consists largely of red earth soils and extensive grazing lands, which are the primary agricultural use in the area.

On December 1, 2025, the project was revoked under section 30 of the Carbon Credits (Carbon Farming Initiative) Rule 2015. Section 30 revocations are generally voluntary requests made by the project proponent. Given the discrepancy between the project name (associated with NSW) and its physical location (NT), or potential strategic shifts by CPC, the revocation suggests a realignment of the company's carbon portfolio or a correction of project parameters.
