Landform is characterised by three distinct river terraces that have developed from the Murray River. Soils have been formed from colluvium, alluvium and aeolian parent material. Impeded drainage in natural depressions has influenced their characteristics. The presence in their profiles of clay of high plasticity and volume expansion will impose a constraint urban development. Urban capability classes have been assessed from an interpretation of landform and soils.
