This report investigated issues relating to transport services and infrastructure on the Cape York Peninsula as part of the CYPLUS Land Use and Natural Resource Analysis Program in 1995.
This report is part of the CYPLUS Land Use Program and establishes an overview of the surface water resurces on the Cape York Peninsula at the time, including an assesment on the reliability of project deands and related environmental and social issues associated with that.
This report investigated the population of the Cape York Peninsula and evaluated the collected data in order to create numerous statistics on the region including population progressions, tourism, birh trates, educational attendance, population mapping, cultural mapping, economy, documentation of events, as well as identifying issues in the prev
Regolith within the CYPLUS area in North Queensland consists both of 'in situ' weathered beardock and transported minerals.

Prior to the execution of this project regional stakeholders and industry representatives expressed differing opinions concerining the development potential of other agricultural industries within the CYPLUS area.
Despite ongoing harsdhip and difficult working conditions there was a strong desire by cattlemen and their families to persevere wth the beef industry as independent produers free of government support and unnecessary regulations.
As part of the Natural Resources Analysis program the Geological Survey Division of the Queensland Department of Minerals and Energy compiled a database of known mineralisation within the CYPLUS area in order to update and expand then current knowledge of the bedrock geology, regolith, geochemistry, coastal geology, and geophyisics of the region
As part of the Natural Resources Aalysis Prgoram the Fisheries Division of the Queensland Department of Primary Industries mapped the marine vegetation (mangroves and seagrasses) for Cape York Peninsula from July 1992 to June 1994 with field work undertakein in November 1992, May 1993, and April 1994.
The aim of this study was to describe and assess the pastoral industry of the Cape York Peninsula in terms of its [then] current operations and land management as well as to provide an analysis of [then] existing and potential land tenure for pastoral uses.
