We’re proud that Cooplacurripa Station is home to Australia’s first registered Nature Repair Market project.
Watch the YouTube video from the Clean Energy Regulator which shows our approach in practice, restoring native ecosystems at scale while delivering biodiversity and carbon outcomes alongside productive agriculture.
At Cooplacurripa, previously cleared land is being restored under the Nature Repair Market, with an ACCU Scheme environmental plantings project registered over the same area.
Silva Capital is pleased to announce that the Silva Carbon Origination Fund has entered into an agreement to acquire Cobungra Station in Victoria’s high country from Rural Funds Group.
The investment supports Silva’s work to develop high-integrity nature-based carbon credit projects through integrated reforestation and sustainable agriculture.
Silva Capital is proud to be a pilot partner of the Dhawura Ngilan Business and Investor Principles, embedding cultural heritage protection into investment decisions and operations. This commitment reflects our belief that sustainable investment must respect First Nations knowledge and rights.
Silva Capital has become the first organisation to successfully register a Nature Repair Market project using the recently released Replanting Native Forest and Woodland Ecosystems method under the Nature Repair Market Act, on its flagship property, Cooplacurripa Station in NSW.
The first trees have been planted at Cooplacurripa Station in New South Wales as part of Silva Capital’s flagship carbon project, marking a significant milestone in both landscape restoration and community engagement with Traditional Owners.
Australian carbon project developers see a maturing of institutional financing as key to scaling the market and taking it on a similar trajectory as renewable energy.
In this episode of The Greener Way, host Michelle Baltazar speaks with Raf Wood, Co-Managing Director of Silva Capital, on the evolution of Australia’s carbon market and Silva’s latest update on their carbon credit projects.
They explore the impact of the 2022 safeguard mechanism, the company’s commitment to sustainability, and their milestone achievement of planting 160,000 mixed-species native trees. Wood also highlights the importance of managing biodiversity risks and engaging with local and indigenous communities to achieve investment-grade returns.
Australia’s carbon market is entering a new phase — one defined by policy certainty, rising compliance demand, and constrained supply. Following the 2025 Federal Election, the trajectory for the Australian Carbon Credit Unit (ACCU) market is clearer than ever, with the Safeguard Mechanism firmly embedded and the 2035 emissions target on the horizon. As surface-level surplus gives way to structural tightness, high-integrity, nature-based credits are increasingly well positioned. Our latest whitepaper explores the market outlook, key policy signals, and why supply-side resilience is now critical.
The fund is being run by Silva Capital, itself a joint venture of agriculture-focused private capital investor ROC Capital and C6 Investment Management.
Silva Capital today announces the first close of the Silva Carbon Origination Fund – one of the first in Australia to provide investors with access to large-scale, high-integrity carbon credits from land reforestation projects integrated with sustainable agriculture to support the global transition towards a low-carbon economy.
