Land Resources Study of the Albury-Wodonga Growth Centre in New South Wales

This Report of the Land Resources Study of the Albury-Wodonga Growth Centre, New South Wales, describes the approach used by the Soil Conservation Service of New South Wales in mapping and evaluating the land resources data for proposed urban and rural use. Individual land resource attributes are mapped -slope, terrain component, soils, soil erosion, drainage pattern and existing land use - and interpreted to derive a series of land capability classifications. These classifications enable the planner to allocate resources amongst the various uses proposed, such that deleterious effects upon these and adjacent environments are avoided.
