The polygon spatial dataset describes classes for the Biophysical Assessment Group for each project as follows; BIOPHYSICAL ASSESSMENT GROUPS ------------------------------------------------------- 1. Risk to Biodiversity - assessment based on a range of vegetation and biodiversity datasets, site data and field work. 2. General land Capability - soil and land resource survey (usually at a finer scale) and field sites 3. Groundwater Risk - compilation of both groundwater and, where possible, water management information SUMMARY 4. Development Potential - suitable for surface water or rain-fed development with data derived from a compilation of Risk to Biodiversity Classes and Land Capability Classes 5. Groundwater Dependent Development Potential - data derived from a compilation of Development Potential Classes and Groundwater Risk Classes. Each project is compiled separately. Links to download reports, maps and spatial datasets are noted in the Development Opportunities website. https://depws.nt.gov.au/DevelopmentOpportunities A Northern Territory summary compilation displaying Development Opportunities, can be viewed in NR Maps. - https://nrmaps.nt.gov.au/nrmaps.html Each project is compiled separately.

The polygons may contain multi-parts.0not knownAll datasets are derived from a range of data sources and scales. Review the individual natural resource technical report for further details0not knownThe polygons are attributed according to the Data Dictionary in this metadata record. The attribute naming format uses 10 characters with no spaces to be suitable for an ESRI shape-file format. An alias attribute name is applied to an ESRI file geo-database format. Class descriptions may be altered for each project. Refer to map products for each project to review the class descriptions.0COMPLETED PROJECTS: (includes Development Potential, Groundwater Dependent Development Potential and Biophysical Assessment Classes) - Development Potential in the Gunn Point Area, 2020 - Development Potential in the Wadeye Area, 2021 Data for the project area is compiled separately for each natural resource group; Biodiversity, Soil/Land and Groundwater. A technical report, spatial data and map products are compiled by each group. The general land capability, risk to biodiversity are intersected to derive the development potential classes. The development potential classes and the groundwater risk classes are intersected to derive the Groundwater Dependent Development Potential.
