Soil Landscapes of the Coffs Harbour 1:100,000 Sheet

This map is one of a series of soil landscape maps that are intended for all of central and eastern NSW, based on standard 1:100,000 and 1:250,000 topographic sheets. The map provides an inventory of soil and landscape properties of the area and identifies major soil and landscape qualities and constraints. It integrates soil and topographic features into single units with relatively uniform land management requirements. Soils are described in terms of soil materials in addition to the Great Soil Group and Northcote classification systems.
Related Datasets: The dataset area is also covered by the mapping of Acid Sulphate Soil Risk Mapping.
Online Maps: This and related datasets can be viewed using eSPADE (NSW’s soil spatial viewer), which contains a suite of soil and landscape information including soil profile data. Many of these datasets have hot-linked soil reports. An alternative viewer is the SEED Map; an ideal way to see what other natural resources datasets (e.g. vegetation) are available for this map area.

Reconstructed Distribution and Extent of Native Vegetation within the Lower Macquarie-Castlereagh Region VIS_ID 817

Existing Vegetation Map of Lower Macquarie-Castlereagh Region.;
Vegetation Map from M. Kerr, A. Jowett &amp; R. Robson. Unpublished. Reconstructed Distribution and Extent of Native Vegetation within the Lower Macquarie-Castlereagh Region. Two maps were produced:;
;
1. Reconstructed vegetation showing the probable full extent of vegetation coverage in the region and ;
2. An approximation of the existing vegetation, allocated to four current landuse categories: managed for conservation, uncleared and grazde, cleared and grazed and recently cultivated.;
;
Two key outputs were a regional reconstructed vegetation map (commonly termed ""pre-clearing"" map) and a map depicting existing vegetation coverage. For the purposes of this project, reconstructed vegetation was defined as native vegetation that is likely to have occurred on currently cleared or highly modified land, as extrapolated from existing vegetation, such that ecological processes and function are broadly reflected. Ten datasets were used as a basis for the development of the reconstructed map, which was developed through subjective analysis of vegetation groups described and mapped by existing studies. A further five GIS layers were used to determine the extent of recent cultivation in the RVMP area and current extent of woody vegetation. Thirty-six broad vegetation types were identified from the existing data, and grouped into fifteen vegetation associations. Each broad vegetation type is described in terms of dominant species, variation in structure, common associated native and introduced species, and its relationship with soils and landform. An indication of the regional reservation of each broad vegetation type is also provided. (VIS_ID 817)

Melaleuca biconvexa mapping for the Central Coast - VIS_ID 4474

Map of the local occurrence of Melaleuca biconvexa (Bioconvex Paperbark) a vulnerable plant species under the NSW TSC Act http://www.environment.nsw.gov.au/threatenedspeciesapp/profile.aspx?id=10514 . In total, 494 ha of habitat occupied by Melaleuca biconvexa has been mapped for the Central Coast (former Wyong &amp; Gosford LGAs). This compares favourably with previous estimates of 372 ha calculated for the former Wyong LGA, and &gt;400 ha for the combined Central Coast Council LGA. A further area of perhaps 50 ha may also be present in the Wyee-Mandalong-Cooranbong area of Lake Macquarie based on existing records, but this is yet to be mapped in detail. In total, the Central Coast (including Lake Macquarie LGA) currently supports approximately 540 ha of occupied habitat for Melaleuca biconvexa. Mapping (GIS files) for the Central Coast component of its range has been provided as an output of this project. VIS_ID 4474

High Ecological Value Waterways and Water Dependent Ecosystems - THE HILLS SHIRE LGA

A map of the high ecological value waterways and water dependent ecosystems for The Hills LGA was prepared by the Science Division of the Department of Planning, Industry and Environment, with input layers and support for the map provided by the former NSW Department of Primary Industries-Fisheries and Department of Industry-Crown Lands and Water. The basis for the map arises from Science Division inputs to strategic planning processes. For example, the map has been included in the Land Use and Infrastructure Implementation Plans for the Wilton (Wilton2040, page 22) and Greater Macarthur (interim plan, page 36) Priority Growth Areas. This map was specifically developed for input to Local Government Local Strategic Planning Statements to support Council’s delivery of Strategy 25.1 of the Greater Sydney Region Plan.
The map shows areas where waterways and water dependent ecosystems are defined as high ecological value, based on definitions, guidelines and policies under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999, Biodiversity Conservation Act 2016, Fisheries Management Act 1994 and Water Management Act 2000.  Water dependent ecosystems are defined as wetlands, and flora and fauna that rely on water sources (including groundwater).  The map represents an overlay of 39 indicators being used by the State Government to define high value, however, not all 39 indicators will be present in any one LGA (see Attachment 1 below). For example, there are 19 indicators making up the map for The Hills LGA. It should also be noted that the individual indicators have not been ground-truthed and it is recommended that field assessments and/or a comparison to local mapping be undertaken prior to any decisions being made.
The map was created by initially placing a 1 ha (to correspond with a lot size) hexagon grid over the LGA, and attributing the grid with the area, length and/or frequency of occurrence of high value water dependent ecosystems. The purpose of the map is to identify strategic planning priorities for protecting and improving the health of high value waterways and water dependent ecosystems in the LGA. Once identified, the priorities can be used as a basis for identifying aquatic biodiversity refugia, stream rehabilitation efforts and setting management targets and/or land use planning controls that would protect or improve the health of waterways and water dependent ecosystems so they provide the essential services and functions expected of a cool blue-green corridor.

Vegetation survey and mapping of Toorale National Park. VIS_ID 4027

Vegetation survey and mapping of Toorale National Park and State Conservation Area was commissioned by NPWS in 2010. Survey of 176 full floristic plots (20 x 20 m) was undertaken, stratified according to environmental variation with targeted sampling of rare or restricted vegetation types. Parts of the western floodplain were inaccessible due to flooding during the survey period so are floristically under-sampled. Twenty-seven vegetation types were identified, mapped and described. 25 of the vegetation units correspond to statewide Plant Community Types (PCTs), previously referred to as 'Benson' types or 'VCA types', as described in Benson et al. 2006; Benson 2008 and Benson et al. 2010). Two new PCTs were identified for the reserve. Polygon delineation and attribution to PCTs was through on-screen interpretation of 50 cm resolution ADS-40 aerial photography and ground truthing. Condition parameters were also measured for each site, and an score applied to each polygon. The final map is produced at 1:25,000 scale. VIS_ID 4027

Reconstructed distribution of indigenous vegetation types in the NSW Riverina VIS_ID 974

Spatial reconstructions of the indigenous vegetation of a region can be used to assess the relative loss of vegetation types or ecosystems. In this context the "reconstructed vegetation" represents the probable extent of native vegetation types across the landscape if the extant vegetation was extrapolated to cover all areas grossly modified by clearing, cropping or other land uses. This extrapolation is usually based on relationships between the vegetation and determinants such as soil type, physiography and climate. Various documents and data were used to reconstruct the pre-clearing vegetation map including extant vegetation mapping, geological and land capability mapping, geomorphology, historical sources (such as explorer accounts and survey plans), field investigations and anecdotal information supplied by local ecologists, naturalists and landholders.;

ACT wetland mapping, classification and assessment: November 2016 (Third Edition)

This product is the result of wetland mapping, classification and an assessment of climate change impacts on wetlands in the ACT to determine their climate change vulnerability. It comprises two datasets: the classification (HGL_ACT_Wetland_Class_Nov_2016) and the assessment (HGL_ACT_Wetland_Assess_Nov_2016). The assessment uses the management areas developed in the ACT HGL framework project as planning units (Cowood et al. 2016 - Expansion of landscape characterisation methods within the Hydrogeological Landscape Framework: application in the Australian Capital Territory). Mapping of management areas allows for detailed hazard assessments to understand the patterns in the chosen variables, facilitating management within the HGL framework and consideration of landscape setting when identifying suitable locations to undertake management actions.
The wetland mapping is a compilation of existing spatial layers and API validation, with classification as per the Australian National Aquatic Ecosystem Framework (AETG 2012). The wetland assessment uses the current (1990-2009) and near future (2020-2039) time periods from the NARCliM Project (Olson et al. 2014 - NARCliM Climatological Atlas. NARCliM Technical Note 4), but individually assesses consensus, wet-cool extreme and dry-hot extreme scenarios. Variables used in this assessment represent indicators of current anthropogenic pressure, future hydrological change in water sources and losses and future ecological change in vascular plant and amphibian communities. Statistical methods are used to group wetlands that are projected to experience similar levels of change in the future determining their climate change vulnerability and the principle components of change driving the variability. The variables are first attributed to the management areas across the ACT and then allocated to wetlands located within each management area. Hydrological change variables were refined for individual wetlands considering the unique water balance equations.
