Abstract: The “Guidelines for determining lease land condition” (the Guidelines) were developed by the Queensland Department of Environment and Resource Management (DERM) to support implementation of the Delbessie Agreement (State Rural Leasehold Land Strategy) which took effect from 1 January 2008. The Guidelines are designed around the eight elements of the Land Act 1994 ‘duty of care’ and defined elements of land degradation. They synthesise a range of accepted land management principles and practices into a defensible framework that can be applied consistently across Queensland, independent of climate and natural variability. The assessment of key indicators of long-term land condition is captured as a ‘point-in-time’ benchmark to guide future land management. On ground assessment is supported by leading remote sensing and modelling tools and supported by a suite of purpose-built IT applications.
