Home Projects Western Woodlands
Western Woodlands
The Western Woodlands project spans 3,000,000 hectares and is part of the Marlinyu Ghoorlie (MG) group application to claim native title of Unallocated Crown Land (UCL) in the Western Australian Goldfields.
Details
The project will consist of an initial ‘fire scar’ investigation to analyse recurring fire issues with the aim of reducing fire frequency. Given the increasing and significant devastation caused and carbon emissions released with each wildfire, large-scale carbon sequestration benefits and outcomes are expected (subject to regulatory approval of the proposed methodology).
By partnering with Traditional Owners and local communities, Salubris can ensure there are positive outcomes for many. Proposed local employment and Ranger Training Programs can help empower Traditional Owners by supporting them in returning to and managing Country. In addition, Salubris seeks to encourage an even greater connection to Country by supporting the preservation and transfer of knowledge within the community.

Project Highlights
Salubris is proud to be the Marlinyu Ghoorlie group’s exclusive carbon and biodiversity partner. Salubris has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Marlinyu Ghoorlie claimant group –
- The MoU aims to create a best-in-class environmental project on Marlinyu Ghoorlie land
- True engagement of the Marlinyu Ghoorlie group as partners is fundamental to the success of this project. This partnership aims to deliver three core outcomes
- Create sustainable environmental benefits
- Create real economic value for the Marlinyu Ghoorlie group and local communities
- Generate social outcomes for the Marlinyu Ghoorlie group and local communities
Other Projects
- Over 132,000ha of existing forest and an estimated 115,000ha of land capable of being returned to forest with active management
- An abundance of native flora and fauna that would benefit from better and focused management of the station
- Ability to generate strong and sustainable social outcomes for the Marlinyu Ghoorlie group and local communities
- Existing carbon abatement project, commencing in 2018 generating 45,000 to 55,000 ACCUs per annum
- Acquired in July 2023
- Identification and preparation of approximately 60 hectares of saline impacted land in the Avon River Basin
- First plantings completed in August 2024, encompassing approximately 36,000 trees
- Leading scientific research suggests carbon will be sequestered more than 10 times faster than mature tropical forests
- Proposed project area is the subject of a Section 91 Licence application
Credo Station
The Credo Station project covers 520,690ha and is part of the Marlinyu Ghoorlie group application to claim native title land in the Western Australian Goldfields. Credo Station encompasses an ex-pastoral station and the Rowles Lagoon Wetland.
Gindalbie Station
Spanning approximately 210,000 hectares of pastoral lease in the Western Australian Goldfields, Gindalbie Station is our flagship HIR project. Salubris worked with an industry partner to complete the initial stratification report and formalise the best-in-class carbon project with highly sought after ACCUs first issued in 2024.
Valley Floor
Through strategic plantings in non-productive areas considered unviable for traditional farming, our projects seek to restore native habitat, reduce water tables and create nature corridors for native wildlife.
Karratha Coastline
Salubris are investigating biodiversity project opportunities along Karratha's Coastline that will protect flora and fauna. The proposed blue carbon project will leverage an innovative approach and be the first of its kind in the Salubris portfolio.
