Soil and Land Resources of the Hawkesbury-Nepean Catchment

This product contains natural resource mapping for the Hawkesbury-Nepean Catchment. The project was undertaken to enhance knowledge of soils, landscapes and physical constraints to land use in the urban and rural environment. The information will assist in informed decision making and planning throughout the catchment.

Each soil landscape unit is an inventory of soil and landscape information with relatively uniform land management requirements, allowing major soil and landscape qualities and constraints to be identified. Soils are described using the Australian Soil Classification and the Great Soil Group systems.
