Benchmark Study of Innovators' Properties

As part of the Communities in Landscapes project, the University of Sydney conducted Participatory Rural Appraisals (PRAs) in the Murrumbidgee, Lachlan and Central West catchments, along with benchmark surveys of the landscape functionality and soil quality of the properties of several innovators in all three catchments.

The amalgamated findings from the PRAs and benchmark surveys are available for download below, along with the individual reports for each benchmark survey location.

The site locations for each report are as follows:
