Cooksvale East
Professional farm management, on behalf of Cooksvale Pty Ltd
Cooksvale East is a corporate-owned investor property held by Cooksvale Pty Ltd and managed by RAM Co (Rural Asset Management) on behalf of Fresh Earth. These properties are professional regenerative land investments — not family farms.
346 hectares of high-rainfall Upper Lachlan country — nearly 40% remnant native vegetation, an environmental plantings project awaiting CER approval, and the anchor property in Fresh Earth's Peelwood innovation cluster.
The Land
Cooksvale East sits on 346 hectares of high-rainfall grazing land in the Upper Lachlan Shire, acquired in 2023. It forms the centrepiece of a three-property aggregation — Cooksvale, Cooksvale East, and Cooksvale West — totalling 761 hectares. Nearly 40% of Cooksvale East is remnant native vegetation: Central Tableland Red Stringybark Grassy Forest and Tableland Granites Grassy Box Woodlands. An Environmental Plantings project across 220 hectares is submitted to the Clean Energy Regulator for approval (ref: ERF200842), while soil carbon baseline sampling is underway. Fresh Earth is a Tier 2 partner of ZNE-Ag CRC, supporting whole-farm systems research across the Peelwood cluster.
Baseline → Target
Measurement begins at baseline and tracks toward the project target across the property. All values are modelled or measured — not independently verified until Stage 05 audit.

Carbon & Ecology Projects
Each project operates under a separate CER registration, with its own measurement baseline and audit pathway.
Cooksvale East Environmental Plantings
Reforest 220 hectares of Upper Lachlan country under the EP 2024 methodology, utilising existing remnant native vegetation corridors.

Cooksvale East Soil Carbon
Increase soil organic carbon from a baseline of 1.204% to 2.8% across 27 hectares, as measured baseline — not modelled.

Property Scoped
Second property of the Cooksvale Aggregation. 224 ha in design phase.
Cooksvale East is the second of three contiguous properties in the Cooksvale Aggregation (total 761 ha). It is managed by RAM Co as part of the unified aggregation operating framework. The aggregation model means design, supply, and measurement infrastructure costs are shared — improving the economics for each individual property while maintaining separate CER project registrations.
- Area:
- 224 ha (part of 761 ha Cooksvale Aggregation)
- Operator:
- RAM Co (Rural Asset Management)
- Projects planned:
- EP + soil carbon
- Soil carbon area:
- 27.08 ha target

Design Phase Active
Project design coordinated with Cooksvale core property.
Cooksvale East is in Stage 02 Design, coordinated with the broader Cooksvale Aggregation design process managed by RAM Co. The EP and soil carbon project structures are being designed to align with the core Cooksvale property — shared measurement protocols, aligned methodology choices, and a unified land management plan across all three properties in the aggregation.
- Current stage:
- Stage 02 — Design
- Design manager:
- RAM Co (coordinated with Cooksvale core)
- Projects:
- Environmental Plantings + Soil Carbon
- Next milestone:
- CER registration — requires design completion
- 03Planned
Registration Ahead
CER registration and baseline measurement to follow design completion.
Once design is approved, Cooksvale East will file CER project registrations aligned with the core Cooksvale property. The shared aggregation infrastructure means measurement can start quickly once the registration is in place. The timeline tracks with the core Cooksvale property — the aggregation moves forward as a unified system.
- Registration:
- Planned — follows design approval
- Measurement:
- Follows CER registration
- Audit timeline:
- Aligned with Cooksvale Aggregation
