Soil condition and land management in NSW: Summary There is a need for ongoing monitoring of NSW’s soil and land resources, as was declared by the NSW Natural Resource Commission in 2005 with natural resource management targets relating to (i) soil condition and (ii) land management within capability. These targets were the focus of a monitoring evaluation and reporting (MER) program by the NSW Department of the Environment, Climate Change and Water, now Office of Environment and Heritage, in 2008–09. Results from that MER program were presented at the catchment level in State of the Catchment reports and at the NSW level in the 2009 State of the Environment report. However, at the time of writing of those publications, full results from the MER programs were not available. Since then, however, data collection, laboratory analysis and database entry from the 2008–09 MER program have been completed. In addition, a need for modifications to the methodology and rule sets had become apparent. A reanalysis of the full MER data repository as at 2012 was considered necessary, the results of which are presented in this report. Results for both (i) soil condition and (ii) land management within capability are presented for each soil monitoring unit, catchment management authority and for the state as a whole. Results are also broken down by the eight individual soil condition/hazard indicators: sheet erosion, gully erosion, wind erosion, acidity, organic carbon decline, structure decline, acid sulfate soils and salinity. The overall indices for soil condition and land management within capability across the state, as derived from the updated MER data, both fall in the ‘fair’ range. However, some indicators in particular parts of the state are in an overall poor condition or land management state. For soil condition, 74% of soil monitoring units had ‘poor’ or ‘very poor’ ratings for at least one indicator; for land management within capability, 54% of sites had poor or very poor ratings for at least one hazard. The results suggest that on a state-wide basis for soil condition, low organic carbon and sheet erosion are moderate issues of concern, while for land management within capability, acidification, wind erosion, salinity/waterlogging and organic carbon decline are the issues of most concern. Recent data is also presented on (i) land use within capability preliminary mapping, (ii) Australian Bureau of Statistics land management survey data across the state, and (iii) ground cover, sheet erosion and wind erosion modelling. First approximation tables that indicate the range of sustainable land management practices for each capability class of land for each hazard are presented in Appendix 1. final results from the 2008-09 MER program Contents 1 Introduction ..................................................................................................................... 1 1.1 Report deliverables ................................................................................................ 1 2 Methods .......................................................................................................................... 2 2.1 Overview of the monitoring, evaluation and reporting program for soil condition ... 2 2.2 Land management within capability ....................................................................... 3 2.3 Update process ...................................................................................................... 5 2.3.1 Soil condition update approach ................................................................... 5 2.3.2 Land management within capability update approach ................................ 5 3 Results ............................................................................................................................ 6 3.1 Results and key findings by CMA ........................................................................... 6 3.1.1 Border Rivers – Gwydir CMA ...................................................................... 6 3.1.2 Central West CMA ...................................................................................... 8 3.1.3 Hawkesbury Nepean CMA ....................................................................... 10 3.1.4 Hunter – Central Rivers CMA ................................................................... 12 3.1.5 Lachlan CMA ............................................................................................ 14 3.1.6 Lower Murray–Darling CMA ..................................................................... 16 3.1.7 Murray CMA ............................................................................................. 18 3.1.8 Murrumbidgee CMA ................................................................................. 20 3.1.9 Namoi CMA .............................................................................................. 22 3.1.10 Northern Rivers CMA ............................................................................... 24 3.1.11 Southern Rivers CMA ............................................................................... 26 3.1.12 Sydney Metro CMA .................................................................................. 28 3.1.13 Western CMA ........................................................................................... 30 3.2 State-wide results and key findings ...................................................................... 32 3.2.1 Soil condition data .................................................................................... 32 3.2.2 Summary of soil condition across NSW, 2008–09 .................................... 34 3.2.3 Land management within capability data .................................................. 35 3.2.4 Summary of land management within capability across NSW, 2008–09 ... 37 4 Complementary data ..................................................................................................... 38 4.1 Land use within capability map ............................................................................ 38 4.2 Australian Bureau of Statistics land management data ........................................ 39 4.3 Groundcover and sheet and wind erosion products ............................................. 39 4.3.1 Time series ground cover products ........................................................... 39 4.3.2 Time series sheet erosion modelling......................................................... 40 4.3.3 Wind erosion and DustWatch products ..................................................... 42 4.4 Modelling of soil properties .................................................................................. 42 5 Conclusion .................................................................................................................... 44 Appendix 1: Management practices appropriate for each land and soil capability class for each hazard (first approximation) ..................................................................

    Activities for the aged in a small rural community—the Weddin Day Therapy Program Helen Denovan, Occupational Therapist, Co-ordinator Weddin Day Therapy Program, Grenfell Community Health Centre, Mid Western Area Health Service I now find it easier to get my feet into my pants. (Mrs A, aged 89 years) I didn’t think attending this group would make any difference, however I feel better after I have attended—more positive. (Mrs B, aged 89 years) These two unsolicited comments from participants in a weekly exercise group run through the Weddin Day Therapy Program are indicators that the objectives of this program are being met. This paper will describe the establishment and evaluation of the Weddin Day Therapy Program, a program that is aimed at keeping older people active and independent. The Weddin Shire and Grenfell Multipurpose Health Service The Weddin Shire, with a population of 3903 and an area of 3429 square kilometres is situated 372 km west of Sydney and 213km north west of Canberra. It is a farming community with 23% of the population over 60 years of age. The main town is Grenfell (with a population of approximately 2000) and the outlying villages are Quandialla, Greenethorpe and Caragabal (with an estimated population of around 100 in each site). The remaining population is farm dwelling. There is a Multipurpose Health Service situated at Grenfell, which includes acute, residential and community health services. Community health staff provide outreach services to the outlying villages. There is a community health centre at Quandialla, with a locally based district nursing service and visiting GP, Child and Family and Community Nursing services.
