Victorian Land Use Information
| Land Use Information Approximately 39% of Victoria’s land is public land; the remaining 61% is private or freehold. Of all the land uses in the state, dryland agriculture and horticulture comprise approximately around 53%, whereas irrigated agriculture and horticulture is less than 4%. Private Forestry and Other Freehold Private forestry plantations are a small, but growing land use in Victoria. Many areas in the south and north east are suited to commercial forestry and significant increases in the areas planted are expected over the next ten years. Other freehold land mainly covers the metropolitan areas. The centres of Melbourne, Geelong, Ballarat and Bendigo can be easily seen on the map.
