Strategic cropping land
Strategic cropping land (SCL) is an important, finite resource that is subject to competing land uses from the agriculture, mining and urban development sectors. The SCL legislation is designed to strike a balance between these sectors to help maintain the long-term viability of our food and fibre industries, and support economic growth for regional communities.
Progress update January 2012
On 30 January 2012, the Strategic Cropping Land Act 2011, Strategic Cropping Land Regulation 2011 and State Planning Policy 1/12: Protection of Queensland’s strategic cropping land commenced.
