National Land Resource Centre
New National Land Resource Centre launched - a national repository for land resource data and information. The NLRC will bring together data from fundamental research (from within Landcare Research and from other science providers) as well as data from a number of government and industry stakeholders. Once these authoritative sources of information have been established (in both electronic and hard copy), eResearch innovations will be used to provide easy access across a range of scales to assist organisations in reporting on the state of the environment, planning development within environmental limits, and ultimately matching land use to the capacity of land resources.
