Land Inventory of the Loddon River Catchment

This report: Land Inventory of the Loddon River Catchment - a reconnaissance survey. was prepared by Noel Schoknecht of the former Department of Conservation, Forests and Lands, Victoria and published in 1988. The aims of the report were to:

  • provide basic information (at a scale of 1:100 000) on the nature of the land in the Loddon catchment - including natural features (i.e. geology, landform, soils, climate, native vegetation), land use, land deterioration, and susceptibility to processes of land deterioration.
  • provide a framework for further, more detailed, land inventory and assessment surveys.
  • highlight complex areas and indicate where more detailed mapping would be beneficial.
