SALISNSW Soil and Land Information System
An Introduction
![Page 2: 7-Jun-2013 - Milford - SALIS](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051609/546eccf6b4af9faa268b47de/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)

What is SALIS?• NSW Government’s database of soil and land
information, currently under the custodianship of OEH
• Maintained under Soil Conservation Act 1938, also supports other legislation, e.g., Mining SEPP
• Centralised corporate database (Oracle 10) and management system (Unify TD 6.0)
• Working towards a ‘single point of truth’ for soil and land information in NSW
• Two key datasets:
- NSW Soil Profiles
- NSW Soil Mapping (Soil Landscapes)

NSW Soil Profiles - Description
• Hundreds of Government and non-Government sources
• Density, quantity and quality of data depending on purpose of collection, etc.
• Usually collected using scannable Soil Data Cards
• Backed by State and National standards for data collection

NSW Soil Profiles – Accessibility • Now:
- SPADE (http://spade.environment.nsw.gov.au) for map-based access to reports on individual profiles
- Contact [email protected] for outputs like spreadsheets, multiple reports, shapefiles, etc.
• Coming:
- Spatial viewer access to entire Public dataset on fixed and mobile devices
- In-field digital data capture on laptops and mobile devices, replacing Soil Data Cards
• Future:
- Web access to SALIS for data suppliers, owners and users

NSW Soil Mapping
• Developed from amalgamation of 68 individual soil map datasets across NSW, including:
- Soil Landscapes
- Soil and Land Resources (including Murray)
- Land Systems
• Progressively updated as new or improved mapping made available
• Seamless(ish) foundation for Statewide maps of soil and land features, such as...

Land and Soil Capability (LSC)
• “Inherent physical capacity of the land to sustain a range of land uses… without degradation to soil, land, air and water resources.”
• 8-class system building on Rural Land Capability (RLC) scheme
• Uses biophysical features of land and soil, e.g., water and wind erosion, soil structure decline, soil acidification, salinity, waterlogging, shallow soils, mass movement
• All mapped units in NSW have an LSC classification
• Progressive release of priority areas (SRLUP)
• Download at http://mapdata.environment.nsw.gov.au

Soil Type maps
• Uses dominant soil types captured through Land and Soil Capability classification process
• Two versions:
- Australian Soil Classification (ASC) at Order level
- modified Great Soil Groups (GSG)
• All mapped units in NSW have a dominant soil type
• Statewide coverages as ESRI shapefiles, PDFs coming
• Download at http://mapdata.environment.nsw.gov.au

Estimated Inherent Soil Fertility
• 5-class system based on fertility ratings of Great Soil Groups from Charman (1978)
• All mapped units in NSW have a fertility rating
• Progressive release of priority areas (SRLUP)
• Download at http://mapdata.environment.nsw.gov.au

Biophysical Strategic Agricultural Land (BSAL)• “Highly productive land that has both unique natural resource
characteristics (such as soil and water resources) as well as socio-economic value…”
• Criteria:
- LSC classes 1, 2 or 3 with Soil Fertility classes 4 or 5, OR LSC classes 1 or 2 with Soil Fertility classes 3, 4 or 5
- Reliable water supply of suitable quality for agriculture
- Minimum area of 20 ha
• BSAL merits greater levels of protection against mining and coal seam gas development
• BSAL mapping produced by Department of Planning and Infrastructure and released as part of Strategic Regional Land Use Plans for Upper Hunter and New England-North West areas; others to be released later
• More information and ESRI shapefiles of BSAL available from http://planning.nsw.gov.au
