The former Soil Conservation Authority was approached in August 1976 by the then Melbourne & Metropolitan Board of Works for assistance in a study of land in the proposed Yarra Metropolitan Park. Information on soils and land forms was required so that a park could be formulated. This report "A Study of the Land in the Proposed Yarra Valley Metropolitan Park and Interpretations for Land Based Recreated and Related Activities" resulted from the work carried out by the former Soil Conservation Authority.
