Service Description: This layer has been created to provide a broad outline of land across NSW that may be potentially suitable for growing woody biomass crops. This layer has been spatially simplified to 5km grid cells with the actual underlying potential areas attached to the cell they fall in. This has been done to allow for faster querying of the layer. This layer was created using existing spatial datasets with rules applied to reclassify the data. Landuse terms have been incorporated into the assigned class names to help users know the underlying landuse applied by the Department of Planning and Environment. Assigned classes identified as potentially suitable include lands where growing woody biomass crops could be incorporated into the landscape alongside existing land practices. The assigned names are generally self-explanatory and include Potential-Cropping, Potential-GrazingPastures, Potential-GrazingNative, Potential-ModifiedPastures, Potential-Mining/Quarries, Potential-TransitionLands and Potential-Other (other minimal use) lands. ​Although agricultural land such as that used for cropping is identified as potentially suitable, woody biomass crops should typically be considered only in the marginal, unproductive portions of those lands. Potential suitable areas less than 1ha have been excluded because woody biomass crops would not be considered in such small areas. Other excluded areas include native woody vegetation, forestry plantations, protected lands such as nature conservation areas, stock routes, defence lands, horticultural lands, intensive livestock lands, urban areas and infrastructure, marshes, wetlands, estuaries and water.
