High Ecological Value Waterways and Water Dependent Ecosystems - HAWKESBURY LGA

A map of the high ecological value waterways and water dependent ecosystems for the Hawkesbury 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 25 indicators making up the map for the Hawkesbury 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.

Climate Change Corridors (Moist Habitat) for North East NSW

The data integrates best available information to delineate broad wildlife corridors along climatic gradients. The objective of the layer is to best delineate large-scale wildlife corridors that are significant for wildlife adaptation to the threatening processes of climate change. The work has been based on best available key habitat habitat, vegetation and corridors map layers and therefore represents areas of the landscape that contain high conservation values and high fauna corridor values.

River Red Gum Tree Canopy Cover and Health Data

These data were collected as part of the River Red Gum Ecological Thinning Trial. 
Data were collected for four tree canopy cover and health parameters, as described below:
Foliage Projective Cover (FPC): FPC is a measure of canopy density derived from Landsat images that describes the percentage of ground area occupied by the vertical projection of green foliage of woody vegetation greater than two metres in height. The Landsat satellite provides remotely sensed images at 30 m resolution at 16-day intervals. Mean and median FPC was calculated from multiple pixels (30 m x 30 m) within each 9 ha plot for each date between 2014 to 2022.
Canopy Cover: Canopy cover was visually estimated as the foliage projective cover of canopy trees, expressed as a percentage of the area in each subplot. Canopy cover data was collected six times over seven years. These data were collected as part of the floristic structure surveys in three 20 m x 20 m subplots within each 9 ha plot. 
Tree Crown Size: The crown size of each of the 30 permanently marked trees was measured three times over seven years. Crown size was measured by estimating the distance between the canopy edges in 2 perpendicular planes in metres.
Tree Crown Extent: The crown extent of each of the 30 permanently marked trees was measured six times over seven years. Crown extent is defined as the percentage of the potential crown that contains live foliage and was visually estimated to the nearest 5%.
Further information is provided in the reference guide for each dataset.

NVMP mapping for the Bogan Gate map sheet VIS_ID 1595

Native vegetation, including forest, woodland and grass/forbland assemblages, is described and mapped for the Bogan Gate, Boona Mount, Condobolin, Dandaloo, Tottenham and Tullamore 1:100 000 map sheets, located in the central western region of New South Wales. This area encompasses parts of six Local Government Areas: Bogan, Forbes, Lachlan, Narromine, Parkes and Warren. Spatial delineation of map units was accomplished using stereoscopic air photo interpretation, assisted by satellite imagery. Preliminary coding was applied based on vegetation patterns and then revised subsequent to data manipulation and analyses. Comprehensive plot-based floristic data were collected for 850 plots using a random stratified sampling procedure. An environmental stratification based on soil landscapes, temperature and rainfall guided sampling location and intensity. Additional mask layers were applied to distinguish between 'woody' and 'non woody' vegetation and each layer independently sampled. Plot data were classified into 41 woody and 20 non-woody floristic groups using pattern analysis within PATN. Additional analysis techniques included ordination; fidelity, homogeneity, nearest neighbour and indicator species analysis. Multi-Response Permutation Procedures were used to evaluate the degree to which classificatory groups were recognised at a similar level of within group similarity. Floristic groups are defined using structural dominance, diagnostic/indicator species and character species data. AiPI units were interrogated with respect to floristic groups to produce the map units. A total of 21 woody map units were developed to represent woody assemblages. Six broad map units based on landform and land use patterns represent non-woody assemblages. Map units are described with respect to structure, floristic composition and landform unit.

Southern CRA - Riverina Highlands Mapping Extension, Biolinks

This project was carried out by National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) Southern CRA Unit for the Riverina Highlands Regional Vegetation Management Committee (RVMC).  Two areas within the Riverina Highlands Regional Vegetation Management Area were outside the CRA boundary, so it was requested that the CRA vegetation mapping be extended to incorporate those blocks.
Regional biolinks or corridors are fundamental for the movement of wildlife between remnants in the Riverina Highlands, and a priority for the conservation management of native vegetation.
