National Land and Water Resources Audit

The National Land and Water Resources Audit (the Audit) was funded by the Australian Government through the Natural Heritage Trust. It was set up in 1997 to improve land, water and vegetation management by providing better information to resource managers. The Audit ended on 30 June 2008.

The Australian Natural Resources Atlas (the Atlas) is the web-based community interface to all the information prepared by the Audit. It provides an extensive range of information across the seven key areas. It is the repository of the entire suite of Audit outputs.
