1.2 Project objectives
The two main project objectives were:
- To identify and map the land types, including all soil and vegetation information, in a consistent format at a scale of 1:100,000 for the Desert Uplands ‘designated area’ * occurring in the shires of Aramac, Barcaldine, Blackall, Belyando, Dalrymple, Jericho and Flinders.
- To ensure all the land resource data generated by the project is readily accessible to individual land managers, community groups, regional bodies and government agencies.
(* Any property that had at least ten percent of the Desert Uplands bioregion within its boundaries was included in the ‘designated area’ and is therefore able to access funding and assistance through the DUBDSC described above. This extension to the bioregional boundary added approximately 16,270sq.km to the study area, giving a total of 85,101sq.km covered by the DUSLARA project).
