The Sunnyside Permanent Plantation Forest Project is a rare, high-integrity carbon credit opportunity located in Southwest Western Australia—one of the world’s most critically endangered biodiversity hotspots.
This exclusive initiative is a joint venture between Carbon Neutral, Gondwana Link, and Forever Carbon Corridors, now legally secured for 100 years under a Carbon Right and Covenant. With limited Australian Carbon Credit Units (ACCUs) generated, this project presents a scarce, high-demand opportunity for businesses and individuals aiming to meet their carbon neutrality, net-zero or climate-positive goals while protecting native ecosystems and First Nations Country.
Why Act Now?
Without intervention, the 1,550-hectare property—home to a 560-hectare Eucalyptus plantation—was at imminent risk of being cleared. Instead, it’s now a permanently protected carbon sink, contributing directly to national climate targets.
Registered under the Australian Government’s Emissions Reduction Fund (ERF), Sunnyside will generate 296,000+ tonnes of verified CO₂-e abatement over its 15-year crediting period. Each ACCU is backed by government-approved methodologies and independent audits, offering unmatched transparency, reliability, and permanence.

Sourced from a rare, premium project, these ACCUs offer real climate value with limited availability.
Delivers biodiversity, cultural, and Indigenous co-benefits, aligned with ESG, B-Corp, and sustainability goals.
Regenerating Country and Climate
Sunnyside goes far beyond carbon capture. In addition to safeguarding the plantation forest, the project actively manages and protects:
- 750 hectares of high-value remnant native bushland
- Over 300 native flora species
- Threatened fauna, including the Carnaby’s Cockatoo and Malleefowl
- Kwongkan Shrublands, a nationally recognised Threatened Ecological Community
All restoration and land management activities at Sunnyside are informed by an integrated approach that draws from both traditional ecological knowledge and contemporary environmental science. Practices such as direct seeding, native revegetation, and invasive species control are implemented to enhance the long-term resilience and diversity of the ecosystem.
Local First Nations Involvement
As part of the iconic Gondwana Link corridor, Sunnyside supports long-term ecological and cultural stewardship by the Menang people of the Noongar Nation.
On-Country employment, ecological restoration, and bushfood regeneration are already underway—with innovative practices like companion planting and culturally mapped walking trails pioneering a new standard in carbon offset projects.
Investing in Sunnyside means backing climate justice, ecological integrity, and First Nations leadership in land restoration.
