__Note: This dataset has been superseded by the__ _Catchment Scale Land Use of Australia – Update December 2020_ available at https://data.gov.au/data/dataset/clum-dec2020. 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. The following data products are available: * Description on ABARES website * Web mapping service (WMS - raster) * Raster file - ESRI grid and Geotiff * Data currency and resolution * Maps and metadata

The Land tenure of Australia 2010–11 to 2020–21 data package consists of seamless continental rasters showing Australia’s land tenure, and land tenure change, for three time periods 2010–11, 2015–16, and 2020–21. Using a 4-tiered hierarchical classification, the datasets show where land is owned, leased, reserved or unallocated to a defined purpose in Australia. The datasets were constructed by combining jurisdictional land title information from digital cadastral databases or their equivalents with Indigenous land grant instruments areas. The data package contains for each of the 3 time periods an independent raster and data caveat raster of known uncertainties in the product, plus 4 combined change rasters. The 5-yearly data is at a resolution of 250 by 250 metres. The Land tenure of Australia 2010–11 to 2020–21 data package is a product of the Australian Collaborative Land Use and Management Program. This data package replaces the Land tenure of Australia 2010–11 to 2015–16 data package, with updates to these time periods.

#Updated September 2021 to include land use tiles. These tiles address issues with analysis of the large single dataset.# This vector dataset is a compilation of land use data for Western Australia, as at August 2018. It has been derived from various vector datasets with attribution relevant to land use in Western Australia. The date of mapping (2008 to 2018) and scale of mapping (1:5 000 to 1:250 000) vary, reflecting the source data, capture date and scale. The data shows a single dominant land use for a given area, based on the primary management objective of the land manager. As a seamless spatial dataset for Western Australia, it can be used to identify, map and analyse high level land use categories (such as nature conservation, dryland cropping and irrigated horticulture) and more specific land use categories (such as aquaculture and tree fruits) including some commodities (such as bananas). These categories can be extracted or combined with other spatial datasets to provide new insights and analysis concerning land use in Western Australia. Land use is classified according to the Australian Land Use and Management (ALUM) Classification version 8, a three-tiered hierarchical structure. There are five primary classes, identified in order of increasing levels of intervention or potential impact on the natural landscape. Water is included separately as a sixth primary class. Primary and secondary levels relate to the principal land use. Tertiary classes may include additional information on commodity groups, specific commodities, land management practices or vegetation information. The primary, secondary and tertiary codes work together to provide increasing levels of detail about the land use. Land may be subject to a number of concurrent land uses. For example, while the main management objective of a multiple-use production forest may be timber production, it may also provide conservation, recreation, grazing and water catchment land uses. In these cases, production forestry is commonly identified in the ALUM code as the prime land use. The operational scales of the mapping vary according to the intensity of land use activities and landscape context. Scales range from 1:5 000 and 1:25 000 for irrigated and peri-urban areas, to 1:100 000 for broadacre cropping regions and 1:250 000 for the semi-arid and arid pastoral zone. The scale of mapping generally reflects the intensity of land use. The vector geodatabase has been cut into 7 shapefile tiles. This reduces the file size and enables more analysis. The extent of tiles is shown below: • Swan Natural Resource Management region, • South West Natural Resource Management region, • South Coast Natural Resource Management region, • Northern Agricultural Region Natural Resource Management region, • Peel Harvey Natural Resource Management region, • Avon Natural Resource Management region, • Rangelands Natural Resource Management region

The Catchment Scale Land Use of Australia – Commodities – Update December 2020 dataset shows the location and extent of select agricultural, mining and forest product commodities, where mapped. This dataset replaces the Catchment Scale Land Use of Australia – Commodities – Update December 2018 version 2 released on 26 November 2019. This dataset is the third national compilation of catchment scale commodity data for Australia (CLUMC), current as at December 2020. It has been compiled from vector land use datasets collected as part of state and territory mapping programs through the Australian Collaborative Land Use and Management Program (ACLUMP). The commodities data complements the Catchment Scale Land Use of Australia – Update December 2020 dataset (ABARES 2021). ##What’s new?## The following areas have updated mapping since the December 2018 version 2: Burnett-Mary and Fitzroy natural resource management (NRM) regions in Queensland (2017 from 2009); Sydney basin in New South Wales (2017 from 2003); the state of Tasmania (2019 from 2015). More detail has been added in the Darwin-Litchfield and Katherine areas in Northern Territory (2016). Users should update any references or links to previous CLUMC datasets in their databases. ##Citation## This publication (and any material sourced from it) should be attributed as: ABARES 2021, Catchment Scale Land Use of Australia – Commodities – Update December 2020, Australian Bureau of Agricultural and Resource Economics and Sciences, Canberra, February CC BY 4.0.
