The Australian Collaborative Land Use and Management Program (ACLUMP) promotes the development of nationally consistent land use and land management practices information for Australia.

Dataset Purpose

Land use mapping in Australia is coordinated by the Australian Collaborative Land Use and Management Program (ACLUMP), a consortium of state and national agencies. Mapping is conducted at two scales: national scale and catchment scale.

Coverage

National scale land use datasets have been produced for 1992-93, 1993-94, 1996-97, 1998-99, 2000-01, 2001-02, 2005-06, and 2010-11. A dataset for 2015-16 is currently in production by ABARES. Catchment scale land use mapping was completed for the continent in 2008 and some jurisdictions have remapped areas since then. The next national compilation is due for release in March 2014 and will include updates to Queensland and Victoria.
