Land Targets
Vision: Land is recognised as the foundation of ACT landscapes and is used and managed in a way that is consistent with its capability, sensitive to catchment health, responsive to climate change, adaptable to the carbon economy and contributing to sustainable community development
6. Urban land health
Intermediate
Achievement of urban soil health at above the average for large Australian cities and preservation of vegetation cover on buffer land (2015)
Long-term
Maintenance of urban soil health at above the average for large Australian cities (to 2030)
7. Rural land health
Intermediate
80% of rural land meets the top standard for land health in relation to land capability (2015)
Long-term
95% of rural land consistently meets the top standard for land health in relation to land capability (2030)
Target timelines
Both intermediate and long-term targets are proposed in this plan. Intermediate targets are intended to be achieved by the year 2015; long-term targets by 2030. Targets and progress towards them will be reviewed at regular intervals.
