QNCF Stuarts Creek Operations Pty Ltd has registered QNCF Stuarts Creek and is currently in the process of developing an Environmental Account to submit for certification.

About the account.

The QNCF Stuarts Creek project is located 35 km west of Roma, in the Maranoa Regional Shire Council. The property is located in a highly-fragmented landscape yet is still supporting koala populations. There are also pockets of vegetation with a variety of woodland birds persisting. Protecting and improving habitat for koala and woodland birds has the potential to benefit suites of other species and biodiversity and ecosystem condition. The Environmental Account incorporates the entire 8, 257 ha of freehold on Stuarts Creek property. QNCF Stuarts Creek includes a soils asset, and within this area, three biodiversity assets– native vegetation, koalas and woodland birds. The three biodiversity assets are situated across 1,425 ha of the property’s native vegetation, associated with main watercourses and adjacent areas historically cleared for agriculture. The native vegetation comprises eucalyptus forests and woodlands, including remnant and regrowth vegetation. The soils asset is situated across the entire Account and includes both cleared areas and areas supporting native vegetation. The purpose of the account is twofold - to provide scientifically robust measurements on the koala population trends at Stuarts Creek, the condition of koala habitat, trends in woodland bird species richness, and the condition of native vegetation; and provide scientifically robust measurements of soil condition for certification of the co-benefits associated with the soil carbon project under the Land Restoration Fund methodology.
