Figure 5 Agricultural Land Audit - Potential for Marine Aquaculture




On balance, the Agricultural Land Audit would suggest the greatest potential is for sown pasture
and Figure 6 shows the extent of this. Again, this data should be used with care because the
mapping includes urban and semi-urban areas.

There is overlap in areas shown as having potential for sown pastures with areas designated as
Urban Footprint or Rural Living Area on the SEQ Regional Plan, with areas mapped as regulated
vegetation, wildlife habitat and high ecologically significant wetland and with areas within the
catchment of the water supply. Therefore this mapping is at best a guide for areas worthy of
protection for grazing purposes.
