Canola Suitability Model for Southern Grampians in 2050

A 2050 suitability model for the commodity of Canola in Southern Grampians Shire Council. It was created by Deakin University for the Southern Grampians Shire Council as part of the Land Use Capability project. The dataset was last updated in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Predict canola suitability scores from geospatial features like soil type and climate projections.
• Analyze spatial patterns of agricultural land use capability for the year 2050.
• Compare modelled suitability across different parcels within the Southern Grampians Shire.

Strengths

• Projection to a specific future year (2050).
• Includes a linked scientific report detailing modelling methods.
• Available under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license.

Limitations

• Specific row count, column names, and sample data are unavailable.
• Model accuracy is dependent on the assumptions and inputs of the underlying Land Use Capability project.
