Devon Carbon Project

Devon Carbon Project is a plantation forestry project located approximately 30km northwest of Mullewa and 90km northeast of Geraldton in the Mid West region of Western Australia. It was registered in December 2023 and covers an area of 5,395.74 ha.

Plantation forestry projects involve establishing and maintaining new plantation forests for the commercial harvesting of wood products. To generate Australian Carbon Credit Units (ACCUs), the project must adhere to silvicultural practices where the planted species have the potential to reach a minimum height of 2 metres and provide a minimum of 20% crown cover.

The Mullewa and broader Mid West region is widely known for broadacre cropping, such as wheat, lupins, and canola, as well as sheep grazing. The area typically experiences a semi-arid, Mediterranean climate characterised by low winter rainfall, and the region's soils largely consist of yellow sands, red/brown sandy loams, and lateritic gravels.

This project sequesters carbon through the successful growth of a newly established commercial forest. In May 2025, a variation was applied to the project boundary, resulting in some listed areas being formally removed from the project. The project is managed by Outback Carbon Pty Ltd, a Western Australian carbon developer formed in 2006. Outback Carbon specialises in restoring degraded agricultural landscapes through high-integrity carbon offsets and operates as an authorised representative of Mitsui & Co. Energy Trading Singapore.
