High Ecological Value Waterways and Water Dependent Ecosystems - HUNTERS HILL LGA

A map of the high ecological value waterways and water dependent ecosystems for the Hunters Hill 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 14 indicators making up the map for the Hunters Hill 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.

General Purpose Water Accounting Reports - NSW Murray Catchment

NSW is the leading state in implementing standardised water resource accounting. The General Purpose Water Accounting Reports (GPWAR) adopt the Australian Water Accounting Standard 1 (AWAS 1).  The annual GPWAR is prepared for all major regulated NSW inland valleys. The reports are published following the closure of the water year. 
The annual reports provide stakeholders with consistent and transparent water resource accounting information.
Included in the GPWAR are:
•   a contextual statement summarising the climatic conditions, water resources, environmental holdings, water trading market and water resource management in the water source for the reporting period
•   a physical flow diagram illustrating changes in storage volumes and the associated inflows and outflows
•   water accounting statements presenting the opening and closing balances, and itemised changes to these balances for available water resources (water assets), licenced allocation accounts (water liabilities) and planned environmental water accounts (water liabilities)
•   disclosure notes (linked to the figures within the water accounting statements) providing detailed information of accounting components including:
      (i)   access licence account balances planned and held environmental, 
      (ii)  water account balance, 
      (iii) detailed available water determination report,
      (iv)  temporary trading by licence category,
      (v)   supplementary announcements and usage by river reach,
      (vi)  physical inflows and outflows to the system for the water year.

•   while groundwater has not been directly included in this GPWAR (aside from those processes that directly affect the regulated river), annual groundwater summary reports by water source are published separately and accessible via the department’s website.

Koala corridors in south-west Sydney

Map of koala movement corridors and priority restoration areas in a study area in south-western Sydney. Koala movement corridors are classified as primary, secondary and tertiary according to the level of connectivity of core koala habitat which are critical for the long-term viability of the regional koala population in the study area. Koala corridor categories also consider corridor dimensions such as minimum widths. Koala corridors are likely to extend outside of the study area. They are named, largely by geographic area or river/creek catchment. The mapping, along with key koala conservation principles, form the basis of advice by the Department of Planning, Industry and Environment related to the conservation of the regional koala population extending from Holsworthy and Moorebank, through Campbelltown and Wollondilly, to Wingecarribee. For further information on the data layer and its development, please see Conserving koalas in Wollondilly and Campbelltown Local Government Areas.

Sugarloaf State Conservation Area Vegetation Map. VIS_ID 3914

Sugarloaf State Conservation Area Vegetation Map. A vegetation survey was undertaken within Sugarloaf State Conservation Area and adjacent lands, located near Lake Macquarie in the lower Hunter Valley of New South Wales. Multivariate cluster analysis and non-metric multi-dimensional scaling were carried out on plot-based data to classify the vegetation into twenty-four native communities, and each compared to a larger regional dataset to consolidate their regional affiliations. Although relatively small in size, this reserve conserves examples of five Endangered Ecological Communities, including Hunter Lowlands Redgum Forest, Lower Hunter Spotted Gum - Ironbark Forest, Lowland Rainforest, River Flat Eucalypt Forest on Coastal Floodplains, and Swamp Sclerophyll Forest on Coastal Floodplains.

Nearshore subtidal marine reef systems and soft sediment mapping, New South Wales

Near-shore reef boundaries mapped from available aerial photography over a range of years and scales. The mapped reef boundaries represent the greatest extent of reef observed over multiple years ie. mapped reef area includes reefs prone to intermittent sand inundation. Unrectified photos were used. Mapping has been conducted in several stages with the current version 5 being extended to include the coast between Port Jackson and Newcastle. Clarence River and Tweed Heads. Mapping is effectively complete with about 0.2% of the NSW coast remaining unmapped due to a number of reasons - unavailability of suitable aerial photos; poor visibility through the water column in deep nearshore zones (eg Sydney Heads south). This mapping was conducted by NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service, and is owed jointly by NPWS, NSW Fisheries, NSW Marine Parks Authority, NSW Department of Land and Water Conservation and Environment Australia. Aerial photos used in this process were provided by NSW Dept of Land and Water Conservation's Specialist Coastal and Floods Unit.

Soil Landscapes of the Cootamundra 1:250,000 Sheet

This map is one of a series of soil landscape maps that are intended for central NSW, based on standard 1:250,000 topographic sheets. The map and accompanying report 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 Australian Soil Classification and the Great Soil Group systems.
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.

Historical Fire Extent and Severity Mapping (FESM) - Blue Mountains Region

Fire severity is a metric of the loss of biomass caused by fire. In collaboration with the NSW Rural Fire Service, DPE Remote Sensing &amp; Regulatory Mapping team has developed a semi-automated approach to mapping fire extent and severity through a machine learning framework based on satellite imagery. 
The method uses standardised classes to allow comparison of different fires across the landscape. The FESM severity classes include: unburnt, low severity (burnt understory, unburnt canopy), moderate severity (partial canopy scorch), high severity (complete canopy scorch, partial canopy consumption), extreme (full canopy consumption). 
Here we provide historical severity mapping for the Blue Mountains region from 1989/90 to 2015/16, which is based on Landsat satellite imagery. From 2016/17 to the current fire year, this region is covered in the statewide FESM data, which is based on Sentinel 2 satellite imagery.

Maitland LGA Vegetation 2003. VIS_ID 444

Maitland City Council(MCC)Vegetation Mapping by Lisa Hill in 2003.  Vegetation distribution map for lands within the extent of the local government area, excluding those contained within National Park or State Forest Reserves.
Systematic vegetation survey was carried out in Maitland LGA to provide Maitland Council with detailed information on natural vegetation for strategic planning purposes. Flora was sampled at 55 field sites (plots) and extensive field reconnaissance was carried out across the LGA. Agglomerative cluster analysis of plot data delineated eleven vegetation communities and an additional two communities were described by previous work in the LGA work (NPWS 2000). A total of 8,305 ha of extant vegetation was mapped in Maitland LGA using aerial photograph interpretation (API) at 1:25,000 scale. This included thirteen vegetation communities and areas of scattered trees and regeneration that did not constitute intact communities. Much of the vegetation in the LGA has affiliation with vegetation in the central, lower and mid Hunter valley, with areas in the south-east of the LGA more related to coastal vegetation in the lower Hunter-Central Coast Region.
