Myall Creek Road Soil Carbon Project

Myall Creek Road Soil Carbon Project is a soil carbon project located at Munni near Dungog, approximately 20km northwest of the Dungog township in the Hunter Region of NSW. It was registered in July 2025 and covers an area of 530.67 hectares.

Soil carbon projects under the Measurement and Models methodology involve implementing new agricultural or land management practices to sequester carbon in the soil. Standard requirements for this method include establishing a baseline through direct soil sampling, applying an eligible land management practice change, and undertaking subsequent rounds of sampling or modelling over a 25-year crediting period to accurately estimate and verify the soil organic carbon increases.

The Munni and Dungog area is primarily known for beef cattle grazing, extensive agriculture, and rural lifestyle blocks. The region typically experiences reliable, high rainfall characteristic of a humid subtropical climate, which is highly supportive of vigorous pasture growth. While soils in the Hunter Region vary from alluvial loams in the valleys to clays on the slopes, the specific landscape of this project features both acidic soils and sodic or magnesic soils, which are typically dense and hard-setting.

This project aims to increase carbon in the soil within the agricultural system by applying lime or other ameliorants to remediate the acid soils, and applying gypsum to actively manage the sodic or magnesic soils. The project's proponent is Carbon Fix Pty Limited, an active participant in the Australian carbon market that also manages several other soil carbon, environmental planting, and forestry transition projects across the country.
