Table 2. Ecosystem service Strategic Development Plan analyses combinations and summary.

Strategic development plans (two selected planning regions)
North region Outer West region
Allocation of future land uses to the 13 Individual ecosystem services areas –54% of all ES areas in environmental land use: carbon storage (62%), flood attenuation public and private infrastructure (61% each) and phosphorus retention dams and estuaries (75% each) –62% of all ES areas in environmental land use: carbon storage (82%), flood attenuation public and private infrastructure (77% each), sediment retention harbor (74%)
–40% of urban residential in sediment retention storm drains and sewer pipes and 38% urban residential in nitrogen retention estuaries –51% of water yield, 47% of nitrogen retention dams and 42% nitrogen retention estuaries in rural residential & tourism
–26% agriculture to fall within water yield, 30% in sediment retention dams and 32% in nitrogen retention dams –33% of phosphorus retention estuaries in urban residential
Allocation of future land use to the 5 ecosystem service categories (carbon storage, water yield, sediment retention, nutrient retention & flood attenuation) –60% at risk of transformation –47% at risk of transformation
