How to do the Music Festival report

Introduction

How to do satellite images and GIS maps

Our Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) will require visual tools to allow us to make a complete assessment of the two sites.

Open Google maps:

2. Change the BaseMap to the Satellite view: Describe the location and the types of land use.

You will need the following maps for your report

○ Map of Oaklands Reserve AND Colley Reserve relative to Adelaide CBD

○ Satellite image of Colley Reserve and surrounding area
