Tabletop Station Regeneration Project (Revoked)

ERF187986

Project Information:

Tabletop Station Regeneration Project (Revoked) is a Human-Induced Regeneration project located approximately 25km northeast of Croydon in the Gulf Savannah region of Queensland. It was registered in September 2023 and covers a vast 53,911.19 hectares.

Human-Induced Regeneration (HIR) projects involve establishing permanent, even-aged native forests by removing or altering land management practices that suppress natural regrowth. The standard methodology requires that the project land was cleared of native vegetation and regrowth was continuously suppressed (e.g., through heavy grazing) for at least 10 years before the project's commencement.

The Croydon area is predominantly used for large-scale pastoral operations and cattle grazing. The region experiences a semi-arid, monsoonal climate with distinct summer wet seasons and long, dry winters. Soils in this part of the Gulf Savannah generally consist of sandy loams, clays, and lateritic red earths.

This project was specifically established by proponents Climate Revive Pty Ltd and Corporate Carbon Advisory Pty Ltd to facilitate assisted regeneration from in-situ seed sources, including existing rootstock and lignotubers. The primary project activities involved the total exclusion of livestock in some areas and the careful management of the timing and extent of grazing in others. Despite the scale of the undertaking, the 25-year permanence period never officially commenced, and the project was ultimately revoked under section 30 of the Carbon Farming Initiative (CFI) Rule on December 1, 2025.
