The following resources may assist with the planning of a carbon farming project. This includes information about the ACCU Scheme soil and vegetation methods, establishment and implementation costs, carbon estimation tools, and guidance documents.
Our Carbon Farming team works with people interested in finding out more about starting a carbon farming project. It is important to remember that each project and business is different, and any assistance the department provides is general in nature and must be considered as guidance only.
Carbon farming projects represent long-term investment and must fit with your overall business plan. Always seek independent financial, business and legal advice when considering a carbon farming project. This represents a long-term investment and needs to fit with your overall business plan.
Meeting project obligations and requirements may also require support from a suitably qualified professional.
To seek advice, refer to the department's Service Provider Directory which has a list of independent consultants with a wide range of skills and experience and advice on the qualifications a service provider should have.
Providers who want to be considered for inclusion in the Service Provider Directory can apply via carbonfarming@dpird.wa.gov.au.
