COMPUTER MAPPING
ESSENTIALS
Do you have a
requirement to map your property to assist with
legislative requirements (Reef, vegetation or
leasehold) or simply want to improve the
management of your property?
If so, AgForward
currently offers free of charge computer mapping
workshops:
- Introduction to Property
Computer Mapping (101)
- Get Back Into Property
Computer Mapping (102)
The 102 workshop is designed to
provide property owners with an opportunity to refresh or
improve their property computer mappings skills. You are
encouraged to bring your computer to this workshop if you have
commenced to map your property as you have an opportunity to
use the AgForward staff to review your property map.
A total of 72 workshops, 101
and 102, were delivered in 2009 to 623 primary producers across
Queensland through funding from Australian Government's Caring
for our Country open grants program.
