Climate Vulnerability Assessment: Dolphinfish

The <strong>Climate Vulnerability Assessment</strong> was designed to provide an overview of the impact of future climate change on all stages of production for the commodities and biosecurity risks assessed. The project used multicriteria analysis (MCA) models to produce assessments for the commodities and biosecurity risks in a consistent and comparable way, and a framework was developed to provide a rigorous, flexible and transparent process for assessing vulnerabilities and opportunities to climate change. Details of the approach and the climate data used in the assessments can be found in the <a href="https://www.dpi.nsw.gov.au/dpi/climate/climate-vulnerability-assessment/publications-and-reports">Methodology Report</a> which also details model exclusions and assumptions.

Assessments were undertaken on commodities grouped into 6 nodes: <em>Horticulture and Viticulture</em>, <em>Broadacre Cropping</em>, <em>Forestry</em>, <em>Extensive Livestock</em>, <em>Marine Fisheries</em>, as well as for a set of biosecurity risks related to these primary industry sectors. The <a href="https://www.dpi.nsw.gov.au/dpi/climate/climate-vulnerability-assessment/publications-and-reports">Summary Report</a> gives details of the chosen commodities and biosecurity risks and summarises the high-level results.

Results Reports for each commodity and biosecurity risk are being released. Visit the <a href="https://www.dpi.nsw.gov.au/dpi/climate/climate-vulnerability-assessment">project's web pages</a> to access these reports and for further information.

This dataset contains maps of modelled climate suitability for the <strong>Dolphinfish</strong> model in the Marine Fisheries node of the DPIRD Climate Vulnerability Assessment. Maps are provided (in GeoTIFF format) for each element of the model:  the climate suitability for each season, climate suitability maps for each phenophase and also for each phenophase/climate variable combination in the model. Data is provided for each of the five global climate models (GCMs) used for the Marine Fisheries node, as well as the climate suitability derived from historical observations, along with the ensemble median for each map.

Average government primary school class sizes by year (1997, 2002-2025)

Data Notes
<ul>
<li>

Class size audits are conducted by CESE (Centre for Education Statistics and Evaluation) in March each year. Audits were not conducted in 1998, 1999, 2000 and 2001. 
</li>
<li>

Data for 2020 should be treated with caution. The collection took place in March when schools were impacted by COVID-19, so fewer data checks were carried out.
</li>
<li>

Students attending schools for specific purposes (SSPs), students in support classes in regular schools and distance education students are excluded from average class size calculations.
</li>
<li>

The average class size for each grade is calculated by taking the number of students in all classes that a student from that grade is in (including composite/multi age classes) divided by the total number of classes that includes a student from that grade. This can result in a lower Kindergarten to Year 6 average class size than any individual year level.
</li>
<li>

From 2017, school size is based on primary enrolment rather than school classification.
</li>
<li>

Schools change size, so data in Table 2 is not necessarily comparable to previous iterations in earlier fact sheets.
</li>
</ul>

WATER SHARING PLANS SPATIAL DATA

These datasets represent management units within in-force water sharing plans across NSW, including regulated, unregulated and groundwater plans (or a combination of these). The data includes both water sources and management zones (where applicable) derived from plans gazetted under the NSW Water Management Act 2000. The boundaries of these water sources and management zones are used to define areas in which specific management rules apply. As such, this data may be used to understand which water sharing plan rules apply to a specific location. The plans are in place for 10 years but may be amended within this time. Any updates to water source or management zone boundaries as a result of a plan being amended during, or replaced following its 10 year term will be made available at that time.

PLEASE NOTE: In the case of any discrepancy between this digital dataset and the published Water Sharing Plan (accessible on the www.legislation.nsw.gov.au site) the instrument as made by the Minister remains the authoritative source and should be used to both interpret the intent of the Plan and in subsequent decision making. Best endeavours have been made in collating relevant Water Sharing Plan boundary and attribution contained in this dataset. However, no warranty is provided as to the accuracy or currency of this representation. The department does not warrant and is not liable for the use of this material as per the licenced sharing conditions CC-BY 4.0.

Currambene and Moona Moona Creeks Floodplain Risk Management Study and Plan

<strong>1. INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND</strong>

This Study has been prepared by WMAwater on behalf of the Shoalhaven City Council (Council).
The Study is composed of three phases:
<ol>
<li>Revision of the 2006 Currambene Creek and Moona Moona Creek Flood Study
(Reference 1);</li>
<li>Preparation of the Currambene and Moona Moona Creek Floodplain Risk Management
Study; and</li>
<li>Preparation of the Currambene and Moona Moona Creek Floodplain Risk Management
Plan.</li>
</ol>

This document details all three phases of work. The FRMS&amp;P follows on from the Flood Study
revision which defines the flood behaviour in Currambene and Moona Moona Creeks under
existing conditions to determine the nature and extent of the flood problem.

<strong>1.1. Objectives</strong>
This project involves preparing a Floodplain Risk Management Study and Floodplain Risk
Management Plan (FRMS&amp;P) for Currambene and Moona Moona Creeks. The main objective of
this FRMS&amp;P is to identify potential floodplain risk, test amelioration strategies for the
management of risk and to put forward priorities and approximately costed recommendations in
regards to flood risk mitigation in the Study Areas. The Currambene Creek Study Area is
presented in Figure 1 and the Moona Moona Creek Study Area is presented in Figure 2.
Council requires consideration of a range of management options to effectively manage existing,
future and continuing flood risks in the region. The outcomes from the Flood Study revision,
Floodplain Risk Management Study and Floodplain Risk Management Plan will also assist the
SES in preparing a Local Flood Plan for the region.
The information and results obtained from the Flood Study revision (see Section 3.3), define
existing flood behaviour and provides a firm basis for the subsequent FRMS&amp;P which constitutes
Phases 3 &amp; 4 of the overall work (see Sections 5 to 9).

Water Modelling-Modelled Data-Regional Water Strategy-Clarence

The datasets provided contain modelled daily streamflow, and storage volume data for several NSW river systems. These data were generated by simulating baseline river system models used to inform the development of Regional Water Strategies. The models were simulated for three different climate scenarios: instrumental climate (about 130 years), paleo-stochastic climate (about 10,000 years), and paleo-stochastic climate with climate projection based on NARCliM 1.0 (about 10,000 years).

Each modelled output is published as a ZIP file which contains two pdf files (.pdf) and three time series data (.csv).

NSW koala baseline survey 2025 - acoustic data

The statewide koala baseline survey is a standalone snapshot of the occurrence, distribution and relative abundance of koalas in NSW in 2025. The baseline survey covers the plausible range of koalas in NSW and over 1,000 sites were sampled across land tenures using heat-sensing drones and passive acoustic recorders. The survey also provides a baseline population estimate from which to evaluate koala population trends over time. 

This dataset comprises point data of koala presence and absence derived from raw acoustic data, captured from passive acoustic recorders in koala breeding season.
