Datasets

As key datasets produced by the Flinders and Gilbert Agricultural Resource Assessment become available they can be accessed through CSIRO’s Data Access Portal.

Soil-related datasets

Soil-related datasets include modelled spatial data on soil properties (e.g. soil depth, soil water availability), 76 modelled irrigation land uses (i.e. crop and irrigation combinations) and modelled confidence.

Access soil-related datasets - (the technical report on Land suitability: technical methods should be consulted before these data are used)

Field measurements and soil sampling

Field measurements are not available through the CSIRO Data Access Portal.

Landholders who would like access to the results of soil sampling taken on their property please email soils@qld.gov.au.

You will need to specify that you are requesting soil data from the project LSGARA and supply your Lot and Plan details (which are listed on your rates notices). You will also need to provide your name and contact phone number.

You will receive an electronic document of the results by return email.
