$40m+ for SW Qld Carbon Regeneration Portfolio

A large-scale grazing and natural capital portfolio in south-west Queensland is expected to attract offers of more than $40 million.

The 132,001ha Carbon Regeneration Portfolio comprises six properties across the Maranoa, Quilpie and Paroo regions and is underpinned by five established Human-Induced Regeneration carbon projects.

Aggregated in 2021, the portfolio (sample pictured above)  includes the 35,300ha crown pastoral lease Bronte, together with the freehold properties 33,366ha Woodlands, 42,906ha Moama and Bundawaugh, 13,963ha Ryandale and 6467ha Bindebango.

According to Green Street News, the portfolio is being offered for sale by a private syndicate of high-net-worth backers that includes members of two of Melbourne’s wealthiest families. They are Justin Punch, Cassy Liberman, Brad Krasnostein and Peter Gold.

The aggregation is currently run under agistment and is being offered with a combined carrying capacity of 5120 Adult Equivalents, supported by developed water infrastructure.

The five registered projects, covering a combined carbon estimation area of 44,913ha, have issued 289,036 Australian Carbon Credit Units to date.

They are forecast to generate an average of 85,400 ACCUs a year to 2031, with more than 1.5 million ACCUs expected over the balance of the crediting periods to 2047.

LAWD’s Tim McKinnon said the vendors believe it is an opportune time to bring the portfolio to market following a significant project milestone.

“The two largest carbon projects within the portfolio, Bronte and Woodlands, have successfully completed their first five-year gateway regeneration checks. The remaining three projects will soon follow suit,” he said.

Mr McKinnon said the portfolio achieved average realised ACCU prices of $40.66 per ACCU in the 2025 financial year and $37.62 per ACCU in 2024, demonstrating its ability to achieve pricing above prevailing market benchmarks.

Around 50 percent of ACCU generation through to 2029 is contracted to an investment-grade ASX-listed resources counterparty.

“Historical ACCU issuance has been purchased by blue-chip corporate and institutional buyers, including ASX-listed resources, aviation and property groups, a major superannuation fund and a mutual bank,” Mr McKinnon said.

While the aggregation is expected to appeal to carbon and natural capital investors, he said inquiry was also likely from local producers and large-scale farming families.

The Carbon Regeneration Portfolio is being offered for sale in one line via expressions of interest closing on September 3.

Webb family auctions transformed NQ cattle property

The Webb family is selling its extensively developed North Queensland cattle breeding and backgrounding property, after a 15-year transformation.

Spanning 31,400ha in the Goldfields region, The Bluff is located 32km from Charters Towers and comprises 18,000ha of Goldfields country and 13,000ha of rangelands.

During their ownership, the Webbs have invested heavily in pasture improvement, water infrastructure and operational efficiency.

Around 8800ha has been aerially seeded, while a further 200ha has been deep-ripped and sown to buffel grass and a Goldfields mega-stylo mix.

JLL Agribusiness senior director Chris Holgar said the legume-based pastures have fundamentally changed the property’s productive capacity.

“This, together with a system that provides water within a 3km grazing radius, has increased the sustainable carrying capacity to 4500 Adult Equivalents, while also improving fertility, weight gain and consistent performance through dry seasons.”

Over the past five years, the property has averaged 2460 breeders plus followers.

The Webb family produces flatback cattle for a range of markets, including live export through the Port of Townsville, processors at Townsville and Rockhampton and domestic buyers to the south.

Agent Clayton Smith said The Bluff is one of the region’s most efficient cattle enterprises.

“The property represents 15 years of strategic investment by the Webb family and a turnkey operation where the hard work has been done.”

“Buyers are acquiring not just land, but a complete production system developed to maximise efficiency and output,” he said.

Mr Smith said the property’s proximity to Charters Towers was a major advantage.

“The ability to attract and retain quality staff while maintaining easy access to agricultural services is a significant competitive advantage in today’s market.”

Major capital works include 37 paddocks connected by 68km of laneways.

Water infrastructure includes 60 water points supplied by 12 solar-equipped bores, four solar-equipped wells and 21 dams, supported by 651mm of average annual rainfall.

Infrastructure includes a five-bedroom homestead, five-bedroom staff accommodation, two cattle yards, numerous sheds and a state-of-the-art automated Clipex yard complex costing more than $1 million.

The Bluff will be auctioned on a bare basis on September 9.

Infrastructure on The Bluff includes two sets of cattle yards, numerous sheds and a state-of-the-art automated Clipex yard complex costing more than $1 million.

$10m asking price for Gympie’s Bellmary

A fodder production and backgrounding operation in south-east Queensland has been listed for $10 million, with agents reporting strong post-auction inquiry.

Brought to the market after five years of ownership by well-known fencing contractors, brothers John and Graham Ford, the 263ha Bellmary is located near Curra, 25km north of Gympie and 85km from Noosa.

Bambling Property agent Craig Mellor is dealing with several interested parties, including locals, businesses and producers from Central Queensland.

During the marketing campaign, Mr Mellor described Bellmary as a genuine turnkey farming enterprise where all the hard work has been done.

“Combining abundant water, fertile river flats, first-class infrastructure and proven production performance, the property offers immediate scale and capacity to generate significant returns from both livestock and/or cropping enterprises.”

Mr Mellor believes Bellmary would complement anyone running a reasonable size breeding operation.

“The property can background and turn off around 800 steers to weights of 480kg to 500kg, achieving average weight gains of 1kg per day,” he said.

During the Ford’s ownership, significant investment has been made into improving soil health and productivity, with ongoing management practices including laser levelling, chicken manure programs and regular mulching.

Mr Mellor said the results are outstanding soil structure, fertility and soil depth that underpin the property’s impressive carrying capacity, cropping potential and production performance.

Around 222ha of fully irrigated cultivation grows improved pastures including Rhodes, pengola, clovers and rye grass producing more than 300 tonnes of hay a year.

Three centre pivots span 144ha, supported by underground mainlines, 41 hydrants and two hard hose irrigators.

Water is delivered by 4.5km of underground reticulation to 19 concrete troughs, supported by more than 561,000 litres of water storage capacity.

Offered with a 600ML water allocation, Bellmary has 2km of direct Mary River frontage and 3km of Curra Creek frontage.

Infrastructure includes two four-bedroom homes (one is new), five sheds,19km of new fencing and cattle yards capable of handling 600 head.
