土地利用信息对任何国家的自然资源的有效管理都起着至关重要的作用。由于土地利用性质的变化，土地利用/土地覆盖制图在各国一直是一个动态的问题。澳大利亚正在经历类似的特征。了解土地利用变化模式对可持续发展和可持续环境管理具有重要意义。它有助于水、土壤、养分、植物和动物的管理，并提供城市和区域土地利用动态与经济和社会条件之间的关系。虽然澳大利亚在土地利用制图和土地管理实践方面有着悠久的历史，但对土地利用制图现状和土地管理实践的系统研究尚不能得到证实。
1972年6月，随着英联邦环境咨询委员会(后来称为澳大利亚环境咨询委员会)的成立，澳大利亚政府对土地利用和环境给予了高度重视。该委员会向政府建议，“土地利用是任何环境考量的基础。”委员会还发现，迫切需要一个有效、协调和全面的国家和州土地利用规划系统。随后，许多组织和机构，如BRS、ACLUMP、CSIRO、QDERM和DPI开始绘制从国家到流域的土地覆盖/土地利用图，许多土地关怀组织开始在地方一级进行土地管理工作。本研究回顾了澳大利亚实施的土地利用制图和土地管理做法的现状
Land use information plays a vital role in effective management of natural resources in any country. The land use and land cover mapping is always a dynamic issue in every country because of the changing nature of the land use. Australia is experiencing similar traits. Knowledge of land use change patterns has important implications for sustainable development and sustainable environmental management. It helps in the management of water, soil, nutrients, plants and animals and provides relationship between land use dynamics and economics and social condition in urban and regional area. Although Australia has a long history of land use mapping and land management practice, no systematic study of the land use mapping status and land management practice can be confirmed.
With the establishment of the Commonwealth Advisory Committee on the Environment in June 1972, later known as the Australian Advisory Committee on the Environment, the Australian government gave prime importance to land use and the environment. The committee recommended to the government that “Land use is fundamental to any consideration of the environment.” The committee also found an urgent need for an efficient, co-ordinated, and comprehensive system of national and state land use planning. Subsequently, many organizations and institutions like BRS, ACLUMP, CSIRO, QDERM, and DPI started on land cover/land use mapping from national to catchment level and many Land Care groups began working on land management the local level. This study reviews the status of the land use mapping and land management practices as implemented in Australia
