Abstract

Executive Summary Mapping the Future is a five-year (2018-22) program funded by the Northern Territory Government to undertake water, land, soil and biodiversity assessments in areas with high development potential. The goal of these studies is to support sustainable development of natural resources and to de-risk investment. This biodiversity report is one of several technical reports describing the biophysical resources of the Western Davenport area, the others addressing water availability and agricultural land suitability. An accompanying summary report provides an integrated overview of the soil, land and water resources and biodiversity values, providing insight into the overall development potential of the study area.,
