Environmental Asset Database - Commonwealth Environmental Water Office

## **Abstract** 

This dataset and its metadata statement were supplied to the Bioregional Assessment Programme by a third party and are presented here as originally supplied. 



The Asset Polygon table includes spatially defined 'environmental assets' that the Commonwealth Environmental Water Office has identified that require environmental watering. It is not a comprehensive dataset of environmental assets in the Murray-Darling Basin. Instead, it is limited to those assets that are currently, or are expected to be, actively managed using environmental water. The dataset is periodically expanded as environmental water is provided to new sites, on an annual basis and as needed. The method used to identify environmental assets for this purpose is heavily influenced by operational considerations.



The Commonwealth Environmental Water Office https://www.environment.gov.au/water/cewo

## **Purpose** 

The spatial boundaries of environmental asset polygons are indicative only and should not be relied on as definitive boundaries of streams, waterbodies or other areas of environmental significance.



The Asset Polygon table includes spatially defined 'environmental assets' that the Commonwealth Environmental Water Office has identified that require environmental watering.

## **Dataset History** 

The Asset Polygon table includes spatially defined 'environmental assets' that the Commonwealth Environmental Water Office has identified that require environmental watering.



Assets were identified by the Commonwealth Environmental Water Holder and spatial data compiled within ERIN for internal use of the Department of the Environment and the Commonwealth Environmental Water Holder.

GBA species expert elicitation: methods report


## **Abstract** 
Expert knowledge gained from extensive experience has been used extensively to inform ecological studies. It is often used when there is insufficient field data and resources are limited to gain more data. Experts can also be useful to validate models as their understanding of particular systems allows them to supply valuable feedback.<br />Individual expert elicitations were conducted for species persistence endpoints. Experts were identified from the relevance of their knowledge to the species, and the region (or equivalent ecosystem), by Chris Pavey (CP) from the Ecology Team. This dataset is a tabulated summary of the expert elicitation that has occurred between June - December 2020. Each row represents an endpoint representing the persistence of a threatened species and the feedback given by ecological experts for each species. If more than one expert was elicited for a species, their knowledge was combined to provide the detail for the network.<br />This dataset represents the expert opinion of experts knowledgeable of the modelled species at the time of the elicitation period. All experts identified the current knowledge gaps for each species and were reluctant to provide a value representing acceptance of material change from development before the species persistence was compromised. Therefore, it is recommended the dataset be used as expert validation of the species models, and as knowledgeable suggestions for mitigating potential impact on the species.

Namoi Leapfrog geological model

## **Abstract** 

This dataset was supplied to the Bioregional Assessment Programme by a third party and is presented here as originally supplied. The metadata was not provided by the data supplier and has been compiled by the programme based on known details.



The Namoi Leapfrog geological model developed by CDM Smith for the future Santos' Gunnedah Coal Seam Gas Project (NTEC, 2013) using the software package Leapfrog Hydro&trade;. The geological model was available to the Namoi subregion Assessment team and is considered to be fit for purpose as the basis for the Namoi geological model, developed for the Namoi BA programme.

## **Dataset History** 

This Namoi Leapfrog Model was created by CDM Smith and obtained from Santos Ltd for use in the Namoi Bioregional Assessment. 

There is little documentation available for the geological model, however some is available as part of the Groundwater Impact Assessment for the Gunnedah Coal Seam Gas Project (NTEC, 2013). Each geological layer in the CDM Smith model is represented as a three-dimensional layer that can be continuous or discontinuous within the geological model domain. The thickness of layers and contact between the layers are modelled by the Leapfrog&trade; software based on interpolation and extrapolation of the input data and the types of stratigraphic relationships assigned in Leapfrog&trade;. The model is discretised into 500 m x 500 m model cells. The thickness of each layer in each cell represents the mean formation thickness at that location. The model domain extends over approximately 53,200 km2 from the Hunter-Mooki Thrust Fault System in the east, to the extent of the Gunnedah Basin units in the south and north, which is outside the boundary of the Namoi subregion. The western boundary of the model domain is marked by the north-westerly groundwater flow direction in the Surat Basin.

Sources of data for the model include drilling logs from Santos and the NSW Department of Primary Industries Digital Imaging of Geological System (DIGS&#xAE;) database, stratigraphic surfaces from the Upper and Lower Namoi groundwater models (McNeilage (2006) and Merrick (2001) respectively), the Gunnedah Bowen Study SEEBASE&trade; and Santos proprietary mapping of Gunnedah Basin formation tops and outcrop geology from geographic information systems (GIS). The ground surface elevation was determined using the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) 500 m digital elevation model (NTEC, 2013, p. 17, Table 2-1).

GLO Stratford Open Cut Pits v01

## **Abstract** 

The dataset was derived by the Bioregional Assessment Programme. This dataset was derived from multiple datasets. The parent datasets are identified in the Lineage Field in this metadata statement. The History Field in this metadata statement describes how this dataset was derived.



The dataset is a shapefile representing the approximate extents of the open cut pits (both existing and proposed) for the Stratford  coal mine in the Gloucester sub-region. These were digitised from map images taken from Stratford Extension Project Environmental Impact Statement Appendix A - Groundwater Assessment. Figure A-2, pp A-76. 



http://www.stratfordcoal.com.au/documents/environment/eis/Appendix%20A%20-%20Groundwater%20Assessment.pdf

## **Dataset History** 

A map image from the report listed below was scanned. These were georectified to MGA 56 geotiffs using recognised features of known locations in the various map images as control points (e.g. road junctions, corners of administrative boundaries etc). 



Selected features representing the open cut pits (both existing and proposed) shown on the map were manually digitised off the computer screen using a georectified map as a backdrop. Features were saved as ESRI shapefiles in the MGA z56 projection.

2021 APS Employee Census

The 2021 APS Employee Census was administered to all available Australian Public Service (APS) employees, running from 10 May to 11 June 2021. 

The Employee Census provides a comprehensive view of the APS and ensures no eligible respondents are omitted from the survey sample, removing sampling bias and reducing sample error. The Census' content is designed to establish the views of APS employees on workplace issues such as leadership, learning and development, and job satisfaction.

Overall, 109,537 APS employees responded to the Employee Census in 2021, a response rate of 77%.

Please be aware that the very large number of respondents to the employee census means these files are over 200MB in size. Downloading and opening these files may take some time.

-	Stocks comprised biological; jurisdictional and management unit with assessments undertaken at the biological stock level, wherever possible.
-	324 stock status classifications could be assigned. The remaining stocks were classified as 54 undefined and 28 negligible stocks.
