Aggregated Data: Environmental Monitoring and Observations Effort

Aggregated metadata on environmental monitoring and observing activities from three Australian national research infrastructures (NRIs): biodiversity survey events from the Atlas of Living Australia (ALA, https://ala.org.au/), marine observations collected by the Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS, https://imos.org.au/) and site-based monitoring and survey efforts by the Terrestrial Ecosystem Research Network (TERN, https://tern.org.au/). This dataset provides a summary breakdown of these efforts by survey topic, region and time period from 2010 to the present.
Survey topics are mapped to an EcoAssets Earth Science Features vocabulary based on the Earth Science keywords from the Global Change Master Directory (GCMD, https://gcmd.earthdata.nasa.gov/KeywordViewer/) vocabulary, modified to use taxonomic concept URIs from the Australian National Species List (ANSL, https://biodiversity.org.au/nsl/) in place of the GCMD Earth Science &gt; Biological Classification vocabulary. ANSL categories map more readily to biodiversity survey categories, since GCMD depends on a top-level division between vertebrates and invertebrates rather than offering an animal category. The EcoAssets Earth Science Features vocabulary, including alternative keywords used in ALA, IMOS or TERN datasets, can be downloaded from https://doi.org/10.26197/w2a2-6s86.

Local Development Performance Monitoring 2008-09

The LDPM data provides an outline of the performance of the NSW planning system and information on local and regional development determined by councils and private certifiers.
Councils provide the Department with information on each DA and Section 96 modification application (S96) determined by council, and on CDC's determined by council or private certifiers.
The department issued councils with a template for data and explanatory material including data definitions. Councils generally extract their information from DA tracking databases or, for smaller country councils, DA registers.
Data analysis was undertaken by the Department using standard calculations (for a detailed explanation, refer to the "Data Quality Statement" tab of the Summary Data attached as a resource to this data set ).

NSW BushFire Prone Land

Bush Fire Prone Land is mapped within a local government area, which becomes the trigger for planning for bush fire protection. Bush Fire Prone Land mapping is intended to designate areas of the State that are considered to be higher bush fire risk for development control purposes. Not being designated bush fire prone is not a guarantee that losses from bush fires will not occur.The NSW Bush Fire Prone Land dataset is a map prepared in accordance with the Guide for Bush Fire Prone Land Mapping (BFPL Mapping Guide) and certified by the Commissioner of NSW RFS under purposes of Section 10.3 of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 No 203.
Over time there has been various releases of the BFPL Mapping Guide, in which the categories and types of vegetation included in the BFPL map have changed. The version of the guide under which, each polygon or LGA was certified is contained in the data. An area of land that can support a bush fire or is likely to be subject to bush fire attack, as designated on a bush fire prone land map.
The definition of bush fire vegetation categories under guideline version 5b: * Vegetation Category 1 consists of: &gt; Areas of forest, woodlands, heaths (tall and short), forested wetlands and timber plantations. HEX code: #FF0000* Vegetation Category 2 consists of: &gt;Rainforests. &gt;Lower risk vegetation parcels. These vegetation parcels represent a lower bush fire risk to surrounding development and consist of: - Remnant vegetation; - Land with ongoing land management practices that actively reduces bush fire risk. HEX code: #FFD200* Vegetation Category 3 consists of: &gt; Grasslands, freshwater wetlands, semi-arid woodlands, alpine complex and arid shrublands. HEX code: #FF8000* Buffers are created based on the bushfire vegetation, with buffering distance being 100 metres for vegetation category 1 and 30 metres for vegetation category 2 and 3. HEX code: #FFFF73
Vegetation excluded from the bushfire vegetation categories include isolated areas of vegetation less than one hectare, managed lands and some agricultural lands. Please refer to BFPL Mapping Guide for a full list of exclusions.
The legislative context of this dataset is as follows: On 1 August 2002, the Rural Fires and Environmental Assessment Legislation Amendment Act 2002 (Amendment Act) came into effect. The Act amended both the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 and the Rural Fire Services Act 1997 to ensure that people, property and the environment are more fully protected against the dangers that may arise from bushfires. Councils are required to map bushfire prone land within their local government area, which becomes the trigger for the consideration of bushfire protection measures when developing land. BFPL Mapping Guidelines are available from www.rfs.nsw.gov.au

Statewide Landcover and Tree Study (SLATS) Dashboard: tables

The dashboard is a powerful tool for gaining insights into vegetation clearing in NSW. The dashboard allows you to “ask questions” of the data by applying filters to investigate how land management activities affect clearing in NSW through time. 
The dashboard reports on woody and non woody native vegetation clearing since 2018 and woody vegetation clearing including plantation forest harvesting since 2009. The woody and non woody data can be filtered using administrative and natural boundaries, regulatory settings and clearing authorisation information.

NSW Landuse 2017

PLEASE NOTE: This dataset has been superseded by NSW Landuse 2017 v1.5
The 2017 Landuse captures how the landscape in NSW is being used for food production, forestry, nature conservation, infrastructure and urban development. It can be used to monitor changes in the landscape and identify impacts on biodiversity values and individual ecosystems.
The NSW 2017 Landuse mapping is dated September 2017.
It incorporates tenure based information for National Parks and State Forests in NSW, at the time of mapping. 
It currently does not include the Greater Sydney Metropolitan Region. Greater Sydney region will be completed in late 2019 and will be incorporated into the NSW 2017 land use product version 1.1. The NSW Landuse  2013, currently contains the best available information for the Greater Sydney region. https://datasets.seed.nsw.gov.au/dataset/nsw-landuse-2013
The 2017 Landuse has complete coverage of all regional centres and towns for NSW. It also includes updates to the fine scale Horticulture mapping for the east coast of NSW - Newcastle to the Queensland boarder. This horticultural mapping includes operations to the commodity level based on field work and high resolution imagery interpretation. 
The reliability scale is 1:10,000 and include values in the attribute fields of Source, Source Date, Source Scale, Reliability and LU Mapping (Currency) Date.
Land use has been mapped  on high resolution aerial imagery including ADS (digital imagery) captured by NSW Department of Finance, Service and Innovation, along with using  Nearmap, Google Earth and Google Street View. Satellite imagery from LANDSAT (NASA), Sentinel 2 (European Space Agency), SPOT 5, 6 and 7(Airbus) and Planet Imagery, was used in the mapping process to account for Landuse activities that occur as part of a rotational practise.  
Land use information has been captured in accordance with standards set by the Australian Collaborative Land Use Mapping Program (ACLUMP) and using the Australian Land Use and Management ALUM Classification Version 8. The ALUM classification is based upon the modified Baxter &amp; Russell classification and presented according to the specifications contained in http://www.agriculture.gov.au/abares/aclump/land-use/alum-classification.
This  product will be incorporated in the National Catchment scale land use product 2018 that will be available as a 50m raster - Australian Bureau of Agricultural and Resource Economics and Sciences (ABARES) http://www.agriculture.gov.au/abares/aclump/land-use/data-download

Miners and Explorers Map

This Miners and Explorers Map provides geospatial data to assist explorers to identify environmental sensitivities in NSW. It can be used to search an area on the map (i.e. a Local Government Area or mining/exploration title area), to view map layers, or run an “Area Analysis” to see where data layers overlap with a mining and/or exploration title. Users can also create, save and print maps which display the map layers of interest. In addition, the Miners and Explorers Map can be used by miners and explorers to locate and/or avoid areas of environmental sensitivity when planning their projects. The Miners and Explorers Map can be used to:  


Interrogate and interpret data layers  


Locate existing mining and exploration titles  


Plan exploration proposals by plotting points, drilling locations and calculating areas and distances  


Run an “Area Analysis” to see where data layers overlap with an existing mining or exploration title  


Create, save and print maps that can be submitted with exploration activity applications  


Help explorers to comply with the Complying Exploration Activity (CEA) pathway for an exploration activity application. For further information on CEA criteria for exploration - refer to https://www.resources.nsw.gov.au/resources-regulator/exploration/activity-approval-requirements
