Physical resource data have been collected in the survey area. This includes data relating to climate, landform, geology and soils. The characteristics of the soils relating to erodibility, drainage, stability and development limitations have been assessed.

The Service's rural and urban capability classifications have been used to evaluate the physical limitations of the Table Top area for rural residential use.

This capability information will help Council to reach a balance between various land uses in the area, select the most suitable sites for development, and minimise the erosion hazards associated with various forms of land use.

This survey and accompanying maps are intended to form a basis upon Which planning considerations should be imposed to help in land use allocation in the Table Top survey area.
