Dumas Station Riparian Corridor Regeneration Project (Revoked)

Dumas Station Riparian Corridor Regeneration Project is a Human-Induced Regeneration (HIR) project located at Dumas Station, approximately 105km south-southeast of Croydon and north of Richmond in Far North Queensland. It was registered in September 2023 and covers an expansive 39,352.59 hectares.

Human-Induced Regeneration projects involve establishing permanent native forests on land where vegetation was previously cleared and regrowth suppressed for at least 10 years. This is achieved by ceasing destructive land management practices and allowing natural regeneration to occur. For this specific project, the proponents, Climate Revive Pty Ltd and Corporate Carbon Advisory Pty Ltd, implemented the management of the timing and extent of livestock grazing to allow assisted regeneration from in-situ seed sources, including rootstock and lignotubers.

The project falls within the Gulf Plains bioregion, an area heavily dominated by large-scale beef cattle grazing and pastoralism. The region experiences a hot semi-arid to tropical monsoonal climate with a distinct, summer-dominant wet season, receiving an average annual rainfall of approximately 730mm to 750mm. Soils across these vast landscapes generally consist of extensive alluvial floodplains, sandy loams, and pebbly grey self-cracking clays.

An interesting fact about the Dumas Station area is its rich native biodiversity; a new species of fossorial skink (Lerista karichigara) was recently discovered on the property during ecological surveys. Additionally, it is important to note that this carbon project was officially revoked recently on April 29, 2026, under section 30 of the CFI Rule.
