Fire Heterogeneity Index - Statewide

Remote sensing scientists from the NSW Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water (NSW DCCEEW) Science and Insights Division have developed a new approach to mapping the landscape patterns of high severity fire, based on NSW Fire Extent and Severity Mapping (FESM). 
High severity fire impacts an ecosystem by completely scorching or consuming the canopy biomass. Such impacts can be harmful to biodiversity, although some species benefit or even depend on this level of fire impact. 
Recent advances in remote sensing of fire and innovative computation solutions by DCCEEW Remote Sensing Scientists offer accessibility to data on fire severity and landscape patterns of fire heterogeneity across broad regions.

Land Management Practices (Cropping History) in the Border Rivers-Gwydir & Namoi CMA (1998-2008)

Land Management Practices for the Border Rivers-Gwydir and Namoi Catchment Management Authority (CMA) Areas in northern New South Wales. This dataset includes a base map of paddock boundaries (and paddock scale object) attributed with cropping history and other land cover information.   This product builds on and finalises older cropping history mapping which involved the manual digitisation of crop paddock boundaries. This work was extended across the full extent of the two catchments using object recognitions software -'Definiens'. Polygons where attributed for presence of cropping for summer and winter cropping cycles between 1998 and 2008, as we as for other land cover and land management types.;

Residual Hydrogeological Landscapes of the Central West CMA Catchment: Nov 2020 (First Edition)

This dataset contains the Central West CMA  HGLs that were not included in the Hydrogeological Landscapes of the Central West Local Land Services Region: Nov 2020 dataset. The CMA boundary was catchment-based, whereas the new LLS boundary is cadastre-based. The original CW CMA HGL assessments were undertaken between 2008 and 2012.
The Hydrogeological Landscape (HGL) concept provides a structure for the understanding of how salinity manifests itself in the landscape and how differences in salinity are expressed across the landscape. A HGL spatially defines areas of similar salt stores and pathways for salt mobilisation. The process of HGL determination relies on the integration of a number of factors: geology, soils, slope, regolith depth, and climate; an understanding of the differences in salinity development; and the impacts (land salinity/salt load/water electrical conductivity) in landscapes. Information sources such as soils maps, site characterisation, salinity site mapping, hydrogeological conditions and surface and groundwater data are combined to develop standard templates for each HGL. 
The focus of this dataset is the old Central West CMA catchment area that falls outside the new CW LLS region. The data package comprises the relevant HGL unit descriptions; digital spatial data; and legacy documents relating to the original CW CMA HGL assessments.
Spatial resolution for this product is 1:250 000.

Clybucca Reserves Vegetation 2023. VIS ID 5129.

Vegetation community mapping for the Clybucca group of reserves (Clybucca Aboriginal Area, Clybucca Historical Site, Fishermans Bend Nature Reserve and Yarrahapinni Wetlands National Park, 2023).  A North Coast NPWS Branch contract by Scout Ecology consultancy. The mapping identifies Plant Community Types (PCTs) as well as delineating Threatened Ecological Communities (TECs).
The study area is located on the floodplain of the Macleay River approximately 25 kilometres north-east of Kempsey on the Mid North Coast of NSW and covers more than 3,000 hectares of native vegetation. The study area contains ecologically important estuarine habitats and Threatened Ecological Communities and is also highly significant from a cultural perspective, containing the Clybucca-Stuarts Point Aboriginal midden complex.
This project reviewed existing data and mapping and sought to align vegetation communities with the revised Eastern NSW Plant Community Type classification through the strategic collection of data on floristic and structural diversity. A review of background information including Aboriginal History, climate, topography, soils and geography and fire history and fire ecology was also undertaken.
Methods applied include both spatial mapping and collection of floristic data. Spatial mapping including digitising of linework using high-resolution aerial photography in a stereo (3D) environment. Digitising of linework and attribution of vegetation communities was supported by a range of spatial datasets including Digital Elevation and Surface Models as well as field-validated data.
The Vegetation Report is supplied with the spatial data for external use.  Internally the report is located at P:\Corporate\Products\Vegetation\VegReserves\Clybucca.  The report itself is titled Clybucca Vegetation Mapping.

NSW public schools’ revenue from hire of school facilities (2014-2023)

Hire of school facilities revenue as included in the NSW Department of Education’s Annual Report, and as included in individual NSW government school Annual Reports.
Data Notes:


The NSW Department of Education encourages local communities to use school buildings, grounds, playing fields and facilities for appropriate purposes.


The principal is responsible for approving the community use of school facilities following consultation with the school community. School facilities must only be used for activities consistent with the Values in NSW public schools policy.


Shared use of school facilities should not be a financial burden to the school or the department. Schools may charge appropriate usage fees or, in some cases, provide free use of facilities. Refer to the Sharing of school facilities policy, and the General community use of school facilities page.


For calendar years 2020, 2021, and 2022, fee waivers provided to external parties for hire of school facilities (due to Covid-19) were reported as hire of school facilities revenue.

Multi Attribute Data - Macleay River Catchment - Landform and Condition Dataset

The multiple attribute mapping process as applied in this dataset provides a vector based inventory of the landscape in terms of landuse, vegetation, presence of tree regrowth, tree and shrub canopy density, presence of understorey and soil erosion condition. It is referred to as Land Condition Mapping. Mass movement is mapped where it exists as is a selected range of weed species. These characteristics of the land are part of the larger dataset of characteristics that can be mapped using the NSW Dept. of Land and Water Conservation's full set of attribute codes. Multi Attribute Data is a vector-based inventory of the landscape comprising polygon and linear features. This system of mapping can describe a number of attributes (such as slope, terrain, landuse, vegetation community, presence of tree regrowth, soil erosion, rock outcrops, geology, Great Soil Groups, weed species and soil conservation measures) in to one polygon. The value of attribute mapping lies in the fact that the data, which objectively characterises the land, can be used for a variety of purposes and is only limited by the scale of mapping and the classification used. This translates into the availability of a range of derivative products. Mapping is typically carried out at 1:25 000 scale using topographic maps as a base. Outputs are most useful at a sub- catchment or regional scale but not generally at property level.
