Wabba House Carbon Project

Wabba House Carbon Project is a soil carbon sequestration project located in the locality of Wabba in northeastern Victoria, approximately 15 kilometers west of the township of Corryong. Registered in February 2025, the project covers a project area of 68.22 hectares within the Towong Shire. The site sits within the Upper Murray region, an area historically defined by the "Wabba Run" and known for its lush river valleys and significant agricultural heritage.

The project operates under the 2021 Soil Carbon methodology (Measurement and Models). This framework requires the proponent, Agriprove, to baseline the current soil organic carbon levels and implement management changes designed to increase those levels over time. Specific activities for this project include altering grazing intensity to improve vegetation cover, applying synthetic or non-synthetic fertilizers to address nutrient deficiencies, and rejuvenating pastures through seeding. Success is measured by physically sampling the soil and modeling the sequestration to generate Australian Carbon Credit Units (ACCUs).

Environmentally, the Wabba region benefits from the high rainfall associated with the Upper Murray and the foothills of the Snowy Mountains. The local terrain typically features fertile alluvial loams in the valley floors near the Cudgewa Creek and Murray River, transitioning to granite-derived soils on the slopes. The land use in this district is predominantly grazing for beef and dairy cattle, making it well-suited for soil carbon projects that integrate pasture management with livestock production.
