Tipperary Soil Carbon Project

Tipperary Soil Carbon Project is a soil carbon project located approximately 15km southwest of Theodore in the Banana Shire, Central Queensland. It was registered in July 2025 and covers 1601.78ha.

Soil carbon projects under the Measurement and Models methodology involve increasing soil organic carbon in agricultural systems by adopting new eligible management activities and measuring the carbon increase over time.

The Banana Shire and wider Brigalow Belt region are traditionally known for beef cattle grazing and cropping operations. The region experiences a sub-tropical, semi-arid climate with summer-dominant rainfall averaging roughly 600mm to 700mm annually. Soils in the area commonly feature cracking clays, or vertosols, and texture-contrast soils.

This project aims to increase soil carbon by using legume species in cropping or pasture systems, and altering the stocking rate, duration, or intensity of grazing to promote soil vegetation cover and improve soil health. Additionally, Carbon Link Operations Pty Ltd is involved as a participant and service provider, utilizing advanced measurement technology to baseline and monitor the carbon stocks across the property.
