Land use information at catchment scale has been produced for all states and territories in Australia with dates and scales varying depending on when the data was collected and the intensity of land use. Land uses mapped at the more detailed catchment scale (1:5,000–1:250,000) have been collected by the ACLUMP state partners. The 2010-06 user guide documents provide more information on the difference between the methodologies. Please note that the 2010-06 national land use map use version 5 and version 4 of the national mapping methodology, respectively, while the earlier versions use version 3.
