Beddall Carbon Project 7

Beddall Carbon Project 7 is a soil carbon sequestration project located approximately 25km southwest of the town of Moura in the Banana Shire, Central Queensland. Registered on September 16, 2025, the project covers a land area of 224 hectares. The project is part of a larger cluster of carbon projects in the region managed by the same proponent, as evidenced by the concurrent registration of similarly named projects (e.g., Beddall Carbon Project 5 and 6).

The region falls within the Brigalow Belt bioregion, an area heavily utilized for beef cattle grazing and dryland cropping. The environment is characterized by a sub-tropical, semi-arid climate with a summer-dominant rainfall average of approximately 650mm to 700mm per year. The soil landscape in the Dawson Valley typically consists of fertile, cracking clay soils (Vertosols) and texture-contrast soils, which are well-suited to the project's objective of building soil organic carbon but require careful management to prevent erosion.

Operating under the 2021 Soil Carbon Methodology, the project aims to sequester carbon by modifying agricultural land management. Specific activities include altering stocking rates and grazing intensity, likely implementing time-controlled or rotational grazing to allow pasture recovery, and introducing legume species to improve soil nitrogen and biomass. As the proponent is Agriprove, a major Australian carbon project developer, this project likely utilizes their standard model of digital soil baselining and remote sensing to monitor carbon stock changes over the 25-year crediting period.
