Land Capability Study | Map Units
The primary objective of this study was provide the former Shire of Romsey with detailed land resource information, consisting of base data on the nature of the land and of assessments of the likely performance of the land under various activities. This information can underpin many land use and management decisions by the municipal authority. In doing so, many of the problems and unexpected costs that would be incurred by the use of the land beyond its capabilities can be avoided.
This study by N M Baxter, G Boyle and E Jones of the former Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, completed in June 1994; describes in detail the land present in the Romsey District and provides information relevant to land use planning and assessment.
