Elvanbrook and Dalkeith NFMR Project
ERF192583
Project Information:
Elvanbrook and Dalkeith NFMR Project is a Native Forest from Managed Regrowth project located on the adjoining rural properties of Elvanbrook and Dalkeith, approximately 90km east of St George in southern Queensland. It was registered on March 23, 2024, and covers a project area of 10,124.03 hectares, though a variation on May 25, 2026, saw some specific areas removed from the project's boundaries.
Native Forest from Managed Regrowth (NFMR) projects involve ceasing activities that suppress the growth of native vegetation, such as mechanical or chemical clearing. By removing these suppressors, the project establishes permanent native forests through assisted regeneration from in-situ seed sources, including rootstock and lignotubers, on land that was historically subjected to comprehensive clearing for pastoral use.
The St George and broader Maranoa region is known heavily for large-scale livestock grazing, particularly beef cattle production. The area experiences a semi-arid climate characterized by moderate but variable rainfall, and the regional soil profile generally consists of brigalow cracking clays alongside sandy loam soils.
This project reflects the properties' broader operational shift towards regenerative agriculture. The 25,000-hectare cattle enterprise integrates large-scale cell grazing schemes with these carbon initiatives to promote vibrant pastures, animal welfare, and natural biodiversity. The project's proponent, Terra Carbon Pty Limited, is an entity associated with GreenCollar, which operates as one of Australia's largest and most active environmental market developers.
