Nullwarra Improvement Carbon Project 7

Nullwarra Improvement Carbon Project 7 is a soil carbon project located approximately 35km south-west of Cobar in the Far West region of New South Wales. Registered in late November 2025, the project covers an area of 517 hectares. The surrounding region of the Cobar Peneplain is traditionally utilized for extensive grazing of sheep, goats, and cattle, as well as mining operations, which are a significant economic driver for the local shire.

The project operates under the 2021 Soil Organic Carbon methodology (Measurement and Models). This method requires landholders to estimate soil carbon stocks through baseline sampling and then implement new management activities to sequester additional carbon over time. Specific activities for this project include applying synthetic or non-synthetic fertilizers to address nutrient deficiencies and altering grazing practices, such as changing stocking rates or intensity, to improve soil health and vegetation cover.

Environmentally, the Cobar region is classified as semi-arid, with a median annual rainfall of approximately 390mm, which can be highly variable. The landscape is characterized by red earth and red loam soils (Red Chromosols), which are typical of the extensive rangelands in this part of NSW. Interestingly, this project appears to be part of a larger aggregation of carbon projects on the "Nullawarra" station (note the slight spelling variation often seen in registry data), which also hosts native forest protection projects. The proponent, Agriprove Solutions, is a prominent developer in the sector known for utilizing "digital twin" technology and specific pasture renovation techniques to accelerate soil carbon sequestration.
