Mapped Agricultural Land Capability Classification Data for Australia V.30

This data record contains a national agricultural land capability map for Australia, based on state agricultural land capability datasets reclassified to a single agricultural land capability classification (NSW method) and modeled grazing suitability. The data includes three raster layers (provided as GeoTIFF land_capability). The national scale agricultural land capability map is the primary data product available in the agricultural land capability data package (raster layer with 9 classes adhering to the NSW land capability mapping method definitions). The compiled state and territory land capability data on the unified rating class system is available as a sub product of the agricultural land capability data package (existing_capability GeoTIFF). Pastoral capability based upon modeled grazing suitability is available as a sub product of the agricultural land capability data package (pastoral_capability GeoTIFF). This data version now includes a zip file for those that wish to download the data as GeoTIFF layers and a geodatabase version for those that wish to access the layers as raster layers within an ArcGIS .gdb. It is recommended to select the appropriate file for download based on your intended usage.
