Catchment Scale Land Use of Australia - Update December 2018

This dataset is a digital catchment scale land use map of Australia compiled from state and territory data collected through the Australian Collaborative Land Use and Management Program (ACLUMP), as at December 2018. It is a seamless raster dataset at a resolution of 50 metres by 50 metres where the date of mapping (2003 to 2018) and scale of mapping (1:5 000 to 1:250 000) vary. It replaces the Catchment Scale Land Use of Australia – Update September 2017 with the Burdekin natural resource management (NRM) region in Queensland; the state of New South Wales; the state of Victoria; and the state of Western Australia updated. The data shows a single dominant land use for a given area, based on the primary management objective of the land manager (as identified by state and territory agencies) classified according to the Australian Land Use and Management (ALUM) Classification version 8.
