This digital soil landscape product contains natural resource mapping for the Hunter and Central Rivers sub-catchments plus extends to also include the Hunter Local Land Services (LLS) government boundary. The dataset upgrades 1:250,000 soil landscape mapping for the Singleton area providing a standardised and seamless land and soil information across the region at 1:100,000 scale. Mapping covers an area of 37,639 km2 from Yarrowitch and Murrurundi in the north to around Rylstone and Woy Woy in the south and extends west to just past Ulan. The project was partially funded by the Hunter LLS and will assist decision making, planning and environmental modelling throughout the region. It also supports improved decision making and management of highly productive agricultural area (e.g. Biophysical Strategic Agricultural Land) under the NSW Government's Strategic Regional Land Use Policy (SRLUP) and Mining Sepp. Four hundred and sixty soil landscape map units have been described within the Hunter Region. Each unit is an inventory of soil and landscape information with relatively uniform land management requirements, allowing major soil and landscape qualities and constraints to be identified. Many representative type profiles are supported by laboratory analysis and soils are described using the Australian Soil Classification and the Great Soil Groups systems. Related Datasets: The dataset area is also covered by the mapping of the Soil landscape 1:100 000 and 1:250 000 mapping series for the map sheets of Murrurundi, Blackville, Dungog, Newcastle, Port Stephens, Gosford/Lake Macquarie, Sydney, Wallerawang, St Albans, Dubbo and Singleton. Part of this area is also covered by the mapping of Hydrogeological landscapes of NSW and Acid Sulphate Soil Risk Mapping. Online Maps: This and related datasets can be viewed using eSPADE (NSW’s soil spatial viewer), which contains a suite of soil and landscape information including soil profile data. Many of these datasets have hot-linked soil reports. An alternative viewer is the SEED Map; an ideal way to see what other natural resources datasets (e.g. vegetation) are available for this map area.

This digital soil landscape product contains natural resource mapping for the Murray Catchment Management Authority area. It integrates numerous soil mapping datasets into a single seamless coverage and provides access to numerous layers of spatial information and reports on soil types, terrain and physical constraints to use for the one hundred and fifty one map units. This information will assist in informed natural resource decision making, planning and environmental modelling throughout the catchment such as help target investments in land management and future soil and land incentive projects for the catchment. Each soil landscape mapping unit is an inventory of soil and landscape information with relatively uniform land management requirements, allowing major soil and landscape constraints to be identified. Constraints assessed in this dataset include shallow soils, steep slopes, mass movement hazard, non-cohesive soils, discharge zones, recharge zones, salinity, wind, sheet and gully erosion hazards, seasonal waterlogging and flood hazard. Soils are described using the Australian Soil Classification and the Great Soil Groups systems. Related Datasets: The dataset area is also covered by the mapping of the Hydrogeological landscapes of NSW and Land Systems of Western New South Wales. Online Maps: This and related datasets can be viewed using eSPADE (NSW’s soil spatial viewer), which contains a suite of soil and landscape information including soil profile data. Many of these datasets have hot-linked soil reports. An alternative viewer is the SEED Map; an ideal way to see what other natural resources datasets (e.g. vegetation) are available for this map area.

This product contains natural resource mapping for the Hawkesbury-Nepean Catchment. The project was undertaken to enhance knowledge of soils, landscapes and physical constraints to land use in the urban and rural environment. The information will assist in informed decision making and planning throughout the catchment. Each soil landscape unit is an inventory of soil and landscape information with relatively uniform land management requirements, allowing major soil and landscape qualities and constraints to be identified. Soils are described using the Australian Soil Classification and the Great Soil Group systems. Related Datasets: The dataset area is also covered by the mapping of the Soil landscape 1:100 000 and 1:250 000 mapping series for the mapsheets of Bathurst, Braidwood, Dubbo, Gosford, Goulburn, Katoomba, Kiama, Penrith, Singleton, St Albans, Sydney, Wallerawang and Wollongong. Part of this area is also covered by the mapping of Hydrogeological landscapes of NSW and Acid Sulphate Soil Risk Mapping. Online Maps: This and related datasets can be viewed using eSPADE (NSW’s soil spatial viewer), which contains a suite of soil and landscape information including soil profile data.

The soil landscape sheet provides a soil and landscape inventory of the area covering Mullumbimby, Byron Bay, Casino and Kyogle and identifies major soil and landscape limitations for both urban and rural development. This is a series of soil landscape maps based on the Land and Property Information 1:100,000 topographic map series and is designed to provide soil and landscape resource information which can be easily understood. The use of the soil landscape concept permits the integration of both soil and topographic constraints into one unit so that the map can be viewed in terms of limitations for urban and rural development. Soils are described in terms of soil materials in addition to the Great Soil Group and Northcote soil classification systems. Related Datasets: The dataset area is also covered by the mapping of Acid Sulphate Soil Risk Mapping. Online Maps: This and related datasets can be viewed using eSPADE (NSW’s soil spatial viewer), which contains a suite of soil and landscape information including soil profile data. Many of these datasets have hot-linked soil reports. An alternative viewer is the SEED Map; an ideal way to see what other natural resources datasets (e.g. vegetation) are available for this map area.
