SPOT 6/7 Mosaic NSW 2022 Footprint layer

The NSW SPOT67 imagery footprint product is an annual state-wide satellite imagery vector product provided by external suppliers for NSW Government. The first images were captured September 2021 and the second set of images from April 2022.  This imagery data set has been acquired through GeoImage Pty Ltd and Airbus Defence and Space.  
The footprint layer is a shapefile that contains all of the information of the statewide capture of the SPOT imagery product.  This includes the acquisition or image capture dates of the SPOT mosaic. 
SPOT imagery products offer high resolution over broad areas using the SPOT 6/7 satellites. A SPOT satellite acquisition covers large areas in a single pass at resolutions up to 1.5m. Such precise coverage is ideal for applications at national and regional scales from 1:250,000 to 1:15,000. SPOT 6/7 also includes the benefits of the near-infrared (NIR) which enables applications for detection of features not visible to the human eye, such as detecting and monitoring vegetation health.

Soil Health Data

These data were collected as part of the NSW Grazing Study.  The estimate or score for 14 attributes (surface roughness, crust resistance, crust brokenness, crust stability, cryptogam cover %, erosion cover, deposited materials, plant foliage cover %, plant basal cover, litter cover %, litter depth, litter origin, litter incorporation, percentage of litter from groundstorey) to assess the status and morphology of the soil surface (Tongway 1995).  Soil surface condition assessed in five small quadrats (0.5m x 0.5m), located at 0, 50, 100, 150, 200m along the site transect.
A sample of the top 5 cm of the soil was collected from the centre of the quadrat, air dried, ground and passed and passed through a 2 mm sieve to remove any roots or organic debris. This was used to assess soil total C and N in the uppermost layers using high intensity combustion (LECO CNS-2000; LECO Corporation, St. Joseph, MI, USA), available (Olsen) P (Colwell 1963), and particle size distribution (sand, silt and clay contents), using the hydrometer method (Bouyoucos 1962).

NSW Seamless Geology NE (Z56) Bedrock Exposure

Areas where solid rock has become exposed to the surface in NSW Zone 56 (from 150°E to east coast). It is used to assist in field mapping. As part of the Geological Survey of NSW Seamless Geology Project, a Bedrock Exposure map of NSW UTM Zone 56 has been created through combining aspects of: (i) Office of Environmental Heritage soil data; (ii) CSIRO depth of regolith dataset and; (iii) the Geological Survey of NSW field observation and structural point dataset. The bedrock exposure map was created to provide a reliable, spatial approximation of exposed bedrock, so as to benefit field mapping. The current maps provided in the UTM Zone 56 Seamless Geodatabase overestimate the amount of exposed bedrock, and therefore, provide only an approximate indication to the location of outcropping basement rocks. The map was created by: (i) using the CSIRO National Soil and Landscape Grid as a base map, and; (ii) refining this by clipping out GSNSW Field Observations, which represent areas of known outcrop. The final result shows the location of estimated and known outcrop.

Beachwatch Bacteriological Database

Bacteriological analysis of Beachwatch programs water samples. During the summer season (October to April) each site is monitored approximately once every six days. At ocean beaches 6-day sampling continues year round. At harbour beaches, 6-day sampling is limited to the summer season, with monthly surveillance sampling undertaken during the winter period.  Samples are analysed for enterococci. Some programs have varied since program was established. The annual State of the Beaches report details the analysis of the data. Approximately 130 swimming locations are monitored in the Sydney, Hunter and Illawarra regions, with a further 150 sites monitored in partnership with local councils along the NSW coast.

Successional Stages on Freehold Land for CRA Upper North East NSW. VIS_ID 3889

This data layer shows the distribution of Candidate Old Growth forest and other Successional Stages on Freehold Land in Upper North East New South Wales as required by the Regional Forest Agreements RFA). An expert panel convened by the NSW Environmental Heritage and Technical Committee (EHTC) in 1997 developed a process for the identification and derivation of the following Successional Stages:;
;
Candidate Old Growth ;
Disturbed Old Growth ;
Mature Forest;
Disturbed Mature Forest;
Young Forest;
Recently Disturbed Forest;
Rainforest.;
;
This data layer is an update of the original Successional Stages layer produced during the U/LNE Comprehensive Regional Assessment (CRA) process in 1998. The Comprehensive Regional Assessment Aerial Photographic Interpretation (CRAFTI) data were crucial for Successional Stage derivation, however they were not completed in time for derivation on freehold land in Upper North East (floristics) and all tenures in Lower North East (structure and floristics). The U/LNE Forest Agreements stipulate that data on freehold land will be updated when CRAFTI data become available. With the finalisation of the digital CRAFTI layer in September 2000, Successional Stages could be derived across freehold lands. ;
;
The same methodology for deriving the original Successional Stages layer during the CRA (RACD 1999a) was used for this process. Distribution of Candidate Old Growth forest and other Successional Stages were derived by integrating structural maturity classes from 1:25,000 scale Aerial Photographic Interpretation (API), interpretability classes derived from vegetation mapping units, and disturbance history from CRAFTI and State Forests New South Wales (SFNSW) records. The rainforest component is an amalgamation of mapped data from SFNSW Forest Typing (Forestry Commission of NSW 1989) and CRAFTI taken from the Forest Ecosystems layer (RACD 1999b).;
;
RFA projects dependent on the completion of the Successional Stages layer include fauna and flora habitat remodelling and derivation of old growth forest ecosystems on freehold land. The data will also be of use to the Department of Land and Water Conservation and Regional Vegetation Committees in land management decisions.;

Bell Miner Associated Dieback (BMAD) Mapping for the Greater Blue Mountains World Heritage Area 2012

Bell Miner Associated Dieback (BMAD) mapping for the Greater Blue Mountains World Heritage Area as undertaken by Kleinfelder Ecobiological in 2012.  Kleinfelder Ecobiological was commissioned by NSW NPWS to conduct vegetation assessments and bird census surveys at a number of known bell miner sites within National Parks estate.  The estimated extent of dieback was recorded as part of this process.  Surveys were conducted during October-November 2012. 
This data delineates the estimated extent of Bell Miner associated dieback around each of the affected survey sites. Each patch is attributed with a confidence level.
Data created by Shawn Capararo and Gayle Joyce of Kleinfelder Ecobiological.
Report was prepared by Kleinfelder Ecobiological for NSW Office of Environment and Heritage and is entitled:

Multi Attribute Data - Brunswick River Catchment - Landform and Condition Dataset

The multiple attribute mapping process provides a vector based inventory of the landscape in
terms of slope, terrain, landuse, vegetation, presence of tree regrowth, tree and shrub canopy
density, presence of understorey, soil erosion condition, and rockiness. Mass movement and
soil conservation measures are mapped where they exist, as is a selected range of weed
species. These characteristics of the land are part of the larger set of characteristics that can
be mapped using the NSW Dept. of Land and Water Conservation's full set of attribute codes.
This set of codes are termed the Standard Classification for Attributes of Land (SCALD). The
value of the attribute mapping is that the data objectively characterises the land and can be
used for a range of land uses and land management purposes. This system of mapping
maximises the efficiency of GIS operation by describing a number of attributes into one
polygon, avoiding problems caused by overlaying of different data sets.
Mapping is carried out at 1:25000 scale using base maps from the NSW Land Information
Centre medium scale topographic series. Outputs are most useful at the sub-catchment or
regional scale but not at property level. The data are extremely valuable at the river basin scale
for integrated catchment planning programmes The information can, however, be useful as a
first level of information in property planning exercises.

Biodiversity Conservation Lands for the Far North Coast Regional Strategy

The Biodiversity Conservation Lands dataset has been compiled for the Far North Coastand interpreted as presenting planning constraints at three scales;

State: Areas identified as of state significance in recognition of a related state or federal conservation policy or program;
Regional : Areas identified as of regional significance generally in recognition of a related state policy or program or as providing buffers to state significant lands;
Local : Areas  recognised through local conservation zoning and including all remnant vegetation.

Principles for deriving conservation constraints:

A twenty five-year planning horizon was adopted for identifying Biodiversity Conservation Lands and opportunities.;
State, regional and local significance classes for conservation constraints were adopted and spatially delineated.
Biodiversity features are presented as constraints with limited or no transferability. Irreplaceability of significant features is generally low and in situ conservation is generally required. The level of irreplaceability for each feature is noted in the metadata proformas.
Biodiversity Conservation Lands will generally be identified across the landscape regardless of current tenure or zoning. Whilst back-zoning of existing development zones is not envisaged, protection of high conservation value 

The Biodiversity Conservation Lands is complete for all Local Government Areas along the coast from Tweed Heads to Gosford.  This metadata statement deals with that portion of the data covering the Local Government Areas of Tweed, Byron, Ballina, Lismore, Kyogle and Richmond Valley.
There are two BioConLands datasets for each Regional Strategy area - a simplified one containing only State, Regional and Local categories in the attribute table and a larger, more complex version with "detailed" information on the components that went into the datasets.
Note:  Certain boundaries within these datasets, eg. NPWS and State Forest Estate, are only current to 2007.

Lachlan River Catchment Wetlands

This regional scale mapping of wetlands in the Lachlan River Catchment was produced to trial methods for Wetland Inventory in NSW. Wetland boundaries were determined by combining existing vegetation mapping with remote sensing analyses of inundation. Wetland attributes were determined using existing mapping and remote sensing datasets. The project produced two spatial datasets:


Non vegetation information about the wetlands (inundation, soils, and more) - WetlandsLachlan


Vegetation within the wetland areas - WetlandsVegLachlan


These maps are suitable for viewing at 1:50 000. They are not free from error. Please read the accompanying report to understand data limitations and accuracy:
