A statement from Partnership for the Outback

WA’s leading Outback conservation alliance, Partnership for the Outback, has congratulated the McGowan Government on its decision this week to allow carbon farming across WA’s vast pastoral lease estate – one third of the state - labelling it ‘a genuine breakthrough for people and nature’.

Key points:

• WA Ministers take historic decision to allow carbon farming on pastoral leases to proceed.
• Decision signals the start of a new multi-billion dollar industry for WA, supporting Outback families and regenerating landscapes.
• Full implementation of government reform program essential to secure jobs for the long term and unlock even greater potential of carbon farming.
