'Vincentia Regeneration Project

Vincentia Regeneration Project is a Human-Induced Regeneration project located in the Balonne local government area, approximately 20km west of Bollon in South West Queensland. It was registered in September 2023 and covers 5,071.98 ha.

Human-Induced Regeneration (HIR) projects involve establishing permanent even-aged native forests by ceasing land management activities that previously suppressed natural regrowth. For this project, this methodology requires the cessation of mechanical or chemical destruction of vegetation and the careful management of the timing and extent of livestock grazing. These activities allow native vegetation to recover naturally from in-situ seed sources, including rootstock and lignotubers, on land where regrowth had been actively suppressed for at least 10 years prior to the project commencing.

The region around Bollon is predominantly known for large-scale agricultural operations, specifically sheep and cattle grazing on expansive pastoral leases. The area features a semi-arid climate, receiving highly variable rainfall that averages approximately 460mm annually. Soils in the region generally consist of Kandosols (red, yellow, and grey massive earths with sandy-to-loamy surfaces) and Vertosols (cracking clays), which support mulga-dominated scrubland vegetation.

This project is run by MULGA AG CO PTY LTD, a proponent operating under the Australian regenerative agriculture platform Wyuna, which aims to combine sustainable commercial grazing with large-scale vegetation-based carbon removal. Reflecting a strong regional footprint, Mulga Ag Co operates several other properties and carbon projects in the area, including the Arlington Regeneration Projects and Lussvale Regeneration Projects. Climate Friendly Pty Ltd acts as the project agent for the Vincentia Regeneration Project.
