Eligible land is defined under Section 9 of the Method, see https://www.legislation.gov.au/F2021L01696/latest/text. Suitable datasets from NRE Tas were selected to identify land that meets the following criteria: (a) Land was used for one or more agricultural purposes, including pasture or cropping; (b) The land contains no dwellings or other structures; (c) At the end of the baseline period, it is reasonable to expect that implementing eligible management activities, as outlined in relevant land management strategies, will increase soil carbon sequestration; (d) The soil on the land can be consistently sampled in accordance with the requirements of this determination. This high-level assessment focuses on mapping lands meeting criteria (a), (b), and (d). Management activities under criterion (c) would be implemented by farmers, extension advisers, or service providers within the Soil Carbon Industry Group and are beyond the scope of this mapping assessment. To evaluate criterion (d), limiting factors such as surface rock presence, extreme slopes, and very wet areas were considered using land capability data, excluding unsuitable areas accordingly. Four key GIS layers were used to capture ACCU-eligible and suitable land: - Tasmanian Land Capability (Field Mapped and Modelled) - Tasmanian Land Use - TASVEG 5.0 Vegetation Map - Infrastructure and Building Structures {"type": "Polygon", "coordinates": [[[143.5, -44.0], [149.0, -44.0], [149.0, -39.0], [143.5, -39.0], [143.5, -44.0]]]} 143.5 149.0 -44.0 -39.0 AGRICULTURE-Any LAND-Geography LAND-Use SOIL-Any
