- The Department of Primary Industry commenced a Land Capability Survey of Tasmania at a scale of 1:100,000 in 1989, to identify and map the location and extent of different classes of agricultural land, in order to provide an effective base for land use planning decisions and to ensure that the long-term productivity of the land is maintained, through the promotion of compatible land uses and management practices. A land capability classification system was developed specifically for Tasmania comprising seven classes, based on the capability of the land to support a range of agricultural uses on a long-term sustainable basis. The survey intended to publish maps for all 1:100,000 standard map sheetlines that contained privately owned land. Only Private Freehold and Leased Crown Land was to be mapped, with some selected high priority areas remapped at larger scales.
