Important agricultural areas - Queensland

Created 05/05/2025

Updated 05/05/2025

This dataset shows areas of Queensland identified by the Qld Agricultural Land Audit (2013) as being Important Agricultural Areas for the region or at a Statewide level. An area is identified by the audit as being important for agriculture if it has all the requirements for agriculture to be successful and sustainable, is part of a critical mass of land with similar characteristics and is strategically significant to the region or the state. The areas shown on this map have been identified by the audit on the basis of advice from regional and industry experts and from synthesis of maps and information on current and potential use of land for the range of agricultural land uses considered by the audit. The information used to derive this dataset varies in its spatial accuracy and resolution. In recognition of these limitations, the information has been generalised for use in strategic decision-making at the regional level. It is indicative only of broad areas within which land important for agriculture is located. It is recommended that more detailed investigation to map the spatial extent and location of important land would be required before the information is suitable for finer scale decision-making such as in statutory land-use planning.
