Description

Abstract:

From 2018 to 2022, the Mapping the Future program will survey and map the natural resources capability in strategic locations across the Northern Territory. The project will support land planning, reduce investment decision risk and encourage the private sector to do business in the Territory.

Each Mapping the Future project area will be surveyed and mapped to describe general land capability, risk to biodiversity and groundwater resource risk. A separate technical report will be published for each natural resource survey. At the completion of each project, the spatial data will be compiled and a summary report with map products will also be published. The summarised information describes Development Potential and Groundwater Dependent Development Potential.

- Development Potential defines areas that are suitable for surface water or rain-fed development with data derived from a compilation of Risk to Biodiversity Classes and Land Capability Classes.
- Groundwater Dependent Development Potential defines areas derived from a compilation of Development Potential Classes and Groundwater Risk Classes.

3 classes are used to describe the Development Potential over the project area - Class 1. Good, Class 2. Moderate and Class 3. Not Recommended.
The data has not removed any protected areas from the classes. Eg Parks, Conservation Areas and Reserves.

Each project is compiled separately. Links to download reports, maps and spatial datasets are noted in the Development Opportunities website. depws.nt.gov.au/DevelopmentOpportunities

A Northern Territory summary compilation displaying Development Opportunities, can be viewed in NR Maps. - https://nrmaps.nt.gov.au/nrmaps.html

Lineage:Completed projects: (includes Development Potential, Groundwater Dependent Development Potential and Biophysical Assessment Classes)
- Development Potential in the Gunn Point Area, 2020
- Development Potential in the Wadeye Area, 2021

BIOPHYSICAL ASSESSMENT GROUPS
-------------------------------------------------------
1. Risk to Biodiversity - assessment based on a range of vegetation and biodiversity datasets, site data and field work.
2. General land Capability - soil and land resource survey (usually at a finer scale) and field sites
3. Groundwater Risk - compilation of both groundwater and, where possible, water management information
SUMMARY
4. Development Potential - suitable for surface water or rain-fed development with data derived from a compilation of Risk to Biodiversity Classes and Land Capability Classes
5. Groundwater Dependent Development Potential - data derived from a compilation of Development Potential Classes and Groundwater Risk Classes

DATA ANALYSIS
-----------------------
Groundwater Dependent Development Potential Classes are derived from a compilation of 2 datasets - Development Potential Classes * and Risk to Groundwater Resource Classes.

Dev Pot Class 1 overlaps Groundwater Risk Class 1 or 2 = GW Dependent Dev Class 1
Dev Pot Class 1 overlaps GW Risk Class 3 = GW Dependent Dev Class 2
Dev Pot Class 2 overlaps GW Risk Class 1 or 2 = GW Dependent Dev Class 2
Dev Pot Class 2 overlaps GW Risk Class 3 = GW Dependent Dev Class 3
Dev Pot Class 3 or GW Risk Class 4 = GW Dependent Dev Class 3

* Development Potential Classes are derived from a compilation of General Land Capability Classes and Risk to Biodiversity Classes.

Positional Accuracy:The Land Capability Classes and the Risk to Biodiversity Classes are derived from a range of data sources and scale. Refer to associated reports for each project.
The data is stored using Geographics, datum GDA94.

Attribute Accuracy:The polygons are attributed according to the Data Dictionary in this metadata record.
The attribute naming format uses 10 characters with no spaces to be suitable for an ESRI shape-file format. An alias attribute name is applied to an ESRI file geo-database format.

Logical Consistency:The final polygon dataset was created by dissolving the combined Biophysical Assessment Classes using the Groundwater Dependent Development Potential Class.

Completeness:As projects are completed, notes will be added to the Lineage component of this metadata record.
