  1. A New Survey Method to Assist Land Accounting in Australia 21 June 2006 John Purcell and Michael Vardon Centre of Environment and Energy Statistics Australian Bureau of Statistics john.purcell@abs.gov.au michael.vardon@abs.gov.au

  2. Presentation overview • ABS land statistics activity • Current land use and land cover data for Australia • The Land Parcel Survey Methodology • Example data • Issues for consideration

  3. Land Statistics Program • CEES Advisory Board • Land Statistics User Group • NRM Survey (15,000-20,000 units) • Analytical project with Productivity Commission • Investigation of Land Accounts • Land Parcel trials • Fitzroy-Livingstone (Queensland) • Eurobodalla (New South Wales) • Move 2007 NRM Survey to this methodology

  4. Land use map http://www.daff.gov.au/content/output.cfm?ObjectID=8BDB5767-D1CF-47D5-A3B441AA18E3AD00

  5. Land cover table http://www.daff.gov.au/corporate_docs/publications/pdf/rural_science/landuse/luv2_100m.pdf

  6. Land Parcel Methodology Land parcel methodology provides an opportunity for ABS to produce statistics that better support the information needs of Federal, State and Territory agencies. • Survey data can be integrated with other spatial information held by government and others (especially remotely sensed data) • Outputs can be tailored to regional management areas • Specific areas of interest can be surveyed in detail • Supports land accounting and in particular the production of cross classified tables

  14. Special Areas of Interest Murray River Irrigation Zones Peri-urban

  15. NHT Regions NHT regions

  16. Fitzroy land cover by land use (ha.)

  17. Issues • Should land ownership be included in the “standard tables” of SEEA (especially since ownership/management by ISIC is in many cases a good proxy for land use)? • If so, should more attention be given to land ownership and in particular registers of land ownership in SEEA (or is this more a matter for practical implementation)? • Does land management need to be considered along with land ownership, use and cover?
