Cassowary Coast Regional Council

One of the first Cassowary Credits projects registered is by Cassowary Coast Regional Council, with intentions to stack both Australian Carbon Credit Units and Cassowary Credits on the same parcel of land – this is a first for Australia.

Councillor Jeff Baines, portfolio holder for Environment and Reef Guardian representative, said; “This site, located along Ninds Creek opposite Moresby Range National Park, marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter for our region. It is a fantastic opportunity for Council to lead the way in the growing environmental market, particularly through Cassowary Credits, which are uniquely tailored to the Wet Tropics bioregion.”

“We’re proud to be trialling this on Council land and look forward to seeing how this can benefit local landholders as an alternative income stream.”
