Description
This report is the second version of the most comprehensive broad scale assessment ever undertaken of the soils, landforms and groundwater resources of the Northern Territory and their suitability for various pastoral and agricultural land uses.,
Notes
The Northern Territory Government's vision for economic development identifies agribusiness as a
priority opportunity to realise the potential in the north. Our land and water resources are a crucial
economic enabler for this activity. Understanding these resources and the capability of its use is
critical to realising the Northern Territory's drive to Develop the North. The NT Government has
already undertaken significant work to develop a solid understanding of the soil and water capability
of the Territory. This report provides essential baseline information that underpins the Northern
Territory Government's Framing the Future Strategic Plan, in particular it's Prosperous Economy
vision.
This 2014 report is the second edition and supercedes the initial report published in 2011.,
