Bimbadeen Soil Carbon Project

Bimbadeen Soil Carbon Project is a soil carbon sequestration project located in the Southern Tablelands region of New South Wales, approximately 25 kilometers east of Boorowa and 35 kilometers northwest of Crookwell. Registered in August 2025, the project covers a substantial area of 1,174 hectares. The property is situated within a district renowned for high-quality wool and beef cattle grazing, characterized by rolling hills and scattered timber.

The project operates under the 2021 Soil Carbon methodology, which credits landholders for sequestering carbon in agricultural soils. To achieve this, the project activities involve altering the stocking rate, duration, or intensity of grazing to promote vegetation cover and improve soil health. Additionally, the proponent intends to apply synthetic or non-synthetic fertilizers to address material soil deficiencies. These actions are designed to increase the amount of organic carbon stored in the soil profile compared to a measured baseline.

Regionally, the area experiences a temperate climate with a winter-dominant rainfall pattern, averaging between 650mm and 750mm annually. The soil types in this vicinity, positioned between the granite belt of Boorowa and the basalt flows of Crookwell, are typically comprised of granitic loams and yellow podzolic soils, which are well-suited to pasture improvement but can be susceptible to acidity. The proponent, Tim Kensit, is associated with long-standing grazing operations in the nearby Binda and Crookwell districts, suggesting a continuity of family farming heritage in the management of this land.
