Wheatbelt Connect

Landowners together with Wheatbelt Connect (comprised of INPEX, ANZ and Qantas) will work together to create valuable, long-lasting benefits for both people and planet. Our aim is to accelerate Australia’s clean, carbon-neutral future.

Why join Wheatbelt Connect?

Landowners can play a vital and much-needed role in decarbonising Australia to reach the nation’s net zero goals. The challenge ahead needs collaboration, where the backbone of Australia, regional communities, have a seat at the table. Wheatbelt Connect enables landowners in one of Western Australia’s most important economic regions to generate diversified income streams, participate in reforestation and carbon farming, with the possibility of producing sustainable biofuels in the future.

The project is designed to ensure all landowners maintain ownership of their land and to reduce or remove the burden of upfront and ongoing costs involved – with the aim of achieving greater diversification of crops and a sustainable alternative income.

What is a carbon footprint?

Diversified crops and income

Landowners benefit from a more drought resilient crop, income diversification and lower income volatility.

Carbon farming

Carbon farming is rapidly growing, allowing more landowners to play an important role in reaching net zero and shaping the future of renewable biofuel markets.

Risk minimisation

Together, we aim to reduce project related risks to participating landowners, including paying upfront establishment, maintenance and costs, removing worry or burden from landowners.

Project overview

The Wheatbelt Connect project aims to achieve sustainable land use through a combination of revegetation and rehabilitation efforts, while sharing and aligning the current land use that includes grazing and cropping. The project recognises the unique nature of each revegetation opportunity and will adapt the plantings to suit the landowner’s needs and farm conditions.

Wheatbelt native revegetation options

The intended native revegetation options are adaptable across the varied Wheatbelt landscapes.

Options for benefit sharing

We recognise that not all landowners are the same. By joining Wheatbelt connect, landowners can benefit from a range of commercial options suited to their individual needs.
