Woodside Native Reforestation Project - Phase 10

Woodside Native Reforestation Project - Phase 10 is an environmental planting project located across the Western Australian Wheatbelt, ranging from properties near Moora (170km north of Perth) extending out to the eastern Wheatbelt. It was registered in February 2026 and covers 1,411.91ha.

Environmental planting projects under the Reforestation by Environmental or Mallee Plantings-FullCAM method involve planting native tree or mallee species on previously cleared land. The standard requirements stipulate that plantings must be established at a sufficient stocking density to reach a forest potential that achieves a minimum height of 2 metres and a crown cover of at least 20%.

The WA Wheatbelt area is highly known for broadacre dryland agriculture, primarily involving winter cereal cropping and sheep grazing. The area is considered semi-arid to Mediterranean with low to medium winter rainfall, and soils generally consist of sandy loams and sand-over-clay duplex profiles.

This project was set up by Woodside Energy Carbon (Services) Pty Ltd as part of a massive multi-phase strategy to generate Australian Carbon Credit Units (ACCUs) to offset the major energy company's corporate emissions. The project establishes permanent plantings of mallee eucalypts and a mix of native tree and shrub species carefully selected to mimic the composition of the original local vegetation. A variation was also approved on 16 July 2026 to add further land to the project area.
