About Us
The Department collects, describes and maps land resource information to assist in sustainable planning through improved understanding of landscape process and properties (landform soil and vegetation). The information is collected according to Australian standards and applicable for Territory wide, regional and local land use planning demands.

- Research institutions
- Local government and land councils
- Pastoral companies and property managers
- Parks and Wildlife
