Cassowary Coast Regional Council

Cassowary Coast Regional Council is a local government organisation in Far North Queensland, located between the Great Barrier Reef and the Wet Tropics World Heritage Area.

Council established the region’s first carbon credit project and the first Cassowary Credits project ever registered and planted. Delivering rainforest reforestation on Mamu Country in partnership with the Mamu People and students from Innisfail State College, Council is restoring degraded land and strengthening habitat for native species.

The project serves as a real-world demonstration for landholders, government agencies and organisations seeking to explore a similar pathway in reforestation and environmental markets.
