Orange-bellied Parrot tracking data

In 2024, the Orange-bellied Parrot (OBP) Tasmania Program completed its first year of a two-year migration tracking project to track OBPs during their annual migration. This early work is helping to understand more about timing, flight path and risks to OBPs during migration and has been funded by the Tasmanian Government. The data shown here accompanies the 2024 Interim Report on the results of the first year of VHF tracking. The report is available from the Department of Natural Resources and Environment Tasmania website.
In the first year of tracking, 46 VHF transmitters were attached to OBPs over late February early March and data recorded at 18 VHF receivers deployed across the migration flyway within Tasmania to detect birds on their migration. A total of 12 of these birds were detected across Tasmania following their departure from Melaleuca breeding grounds. 
The results of this project revealed nocturnal flight was an important aspect of OBP travel over long distance migratory legs between breeding grounds and stopover sites and over-wintering grounds within Tasmania, and between stopover sites in Tasmania and over-wintering grounds on mainland Australia. In 2024, juvenile OBPs primarily transited the west coast of Tasmania in a single flight, undertaking these flights over the first two weeks of April. Across the northwest of Tasmania and adjacent islands, and on King Island juvenile OBPs utilised various habitats including pasture, saltmarsh and heathland from early April through to the end of tracking in late May and early June.
VHF tracking technology does not provide spatially-explicit data and instead location has to be estimated using signal strength of received radio transmissions from trackers as a proxy for distance and direction from a receiver antenna. This method cannot refine location accuracy of a detection to less than +/-2km. Further, caution should be taken when generalising the findings of this season's work to the entire OBP population due to the small sample of birds tracked this season and that nearly all tracked birds (45 of the 46 birds) and all those detected outside of Melaleuca were juvenile OBPs. Juvenile and adult OBPs have different migration ecologies particularly in regard to timing of migration and survival rates and therefore the findings of this year's survey have little congruity with migration behaviour of the adult population. Interannual variation in juvenile migration trajectories and departure dates due to differences in environmental conditions year-to-year is also not captured in this one year of surveying and is a limitation of the findings of this report.

Potential Fauna Habitat

This dataset is a polygon representation of potential habitat for threatened fauna within the coastal strip of the Northern and Southern National Resource Management (NRM) Regions of Tasmania.  Each polygon represents a single vegetation community for a single fauna species therefore some records are coincident (vegetation is habitat for several species) and the layer is not continuous.  The mapped habitat for each species is attributed with its significance (based on the species conservation status and/or the habitat's use as either foraging or nesting habitat).
This dataset is part of the NRM Coastal Values Project.  The Project maps vegetation, fauna habitat and geomorphology from High Water mark to 100 metres inland for part of the coastline of the Southern and Northern NRM Regions of Tasmania.  The purpose of the coastal values mapping is to provide an easily accessible database on vegetation and geomorphology to support better strategic planning, land use planning and management on the coast.

Tasmanian Land Use 2013

The Tasmanian land use 2013 spatial data set is produced at catchment scale which is undertaken through the Australian Collaborative Land Use and Management Program (ACLUMP) using standards set out in the 'Guidelines for land use mapping in Australia: principals, procedures and definitions, 4th edition 2011'. Land use is classified by its prime use using a hierarchical structure, Australian Land Use and Management Classification (ALUMC) v7, which allows attribution as broad classes to individual commodities.  This produces nationally consistent land use mapping to plan for and achieve productive agriculture and prosperous regional communities.  Land use information shows how we use the landscape, whether that is for food production, forestry, nature conservation, water storage or urban development.  The data set has been derived through spatial analysis of ancillary data sets, interpretation from imagery (Google Earth and State Orthophoto) and expert knowledge through stakeholder/user workshops.  The development of a modelling process to create the data set allows a repeatable process for future iterations of land use mapping.  The land use mapping coverage is available for mixed dates at a scale that varies according to the intensity of land use activities and landscape context.

Inland areas of Tasmania with potential to contain Acid Sulfate Soils

A NHT (National Heritage Trust) funded project headed by the NRM Cradle Coast to delineate inland areas with potential to contain Acid Sulfate Soils (ASS).  The dataset forms part of the larger project pertaining to ‘Tasmanian Acid Sulfate Soils Information’ (TASSI) with the aim of providing better awareness to stake holders and planners in regards to the distribution of Acid Sulfate Soils in inland environments of Tasmania.  Inland environment for the sake of the TASSI project was defined as the landward zone extending above 20m AHD.  The dataset comprises polygons mapped at a variety of scales in different parts of the state (mostly at 1:25,000 or 1:250,000) and geo-referenced to the GDA94 datum.  Each polygon is attributed with a probability rating (high, low or extremely low) that indicate a polygons potential to contain ASS as well as a descriptor/code which describe the ASS landscape that a polygon represents.  The descriptor/code pertains to the Atlas of Australian Acid Sulfate Soils (developed in part by CSIRO and used on the ASRIS website, http://www.asris.csiro.au ).  Ancillary dataset information that were used to model and derive the probability ratings and subsequent codes are embedded within the dataset attribute table.

Ecological Disturbance and Foreshore Condition in the Southern NRM Region

This dataset is part of the assessment and mapping of foreshore value, condition and pressure in the Southern Natural Resource Management (NRM) Region of Tasmania. The 17 line maps produced in this study are intended to be used as a tool to assist managers and stakeholders in the identification of management issues with regards to foreshore planning, development, and natural resources. Assessment of the foreshore is based on the division of the high water line into 100m segments. Using a decision matrix and rule set, each foreshore segment is assigned a score for three main components: fields, attributes and indices. Segments are colour coded based on their attribute or index score to reflect the differing levels of overall natural value, human use value, condition, pressure or components thereof. This digital line map is a representation of the ecological disturbance to foreshores in the southern NRM region and is an attribute layer supporting the Condition Index. Ecological disturbance is calculated based on levels of clearing and construction within 100 and 500 metres of the intertidal zone, the condition of adjacent habitat, zoning and land classification, presence of foreshore structures, and pollution sources within 500 metres and 1 kilometre of the intertidal zone. An explanatory report is available from the data custodian which provides detailed methodology and further explanation of the dataset.

Historic Mineral Tenement Charts (Mineral Resources Tasmania)

Prior to the introduction of GIS mapping and the Tasmanian Information on Geoscience and Exploration Resources (TIGER) system, all mineral tenements - leases and licences - where mapped on paper.  In addition to the individual tenement map, the outline was also charted on a mineral tenement chart, and in some cases a reference to tenement map or survey number was included.  As the charts filled up, they would be retired and a new version started with all tenements current at the time transferred across to the new chart.  These charts have now all been scanned and a digital index created of the map extents.

Seagrass distribution c1970 (Rees, 1994)

The five species of seagrass occuring around the coast of Tasmania were located on a presence-absence basis. Sampling included the recording of species, depth, density, substratum and presence of algal epiphytes. Available aerial photography from three time periods (circa 1950, circa 1970 and circa 1990) was used to digitally map selected beds into a GIS using ARC/INFO. Sample site attributes were added to the database and patterns of change and distribution were analysed and mapped. An area of approx. 220 square kilometres was mapped leading to an estimate of between 400 and  500 square kilometres of seagrass occurring in Tasmania. Decline has occurred, particularly close to areas of human  population and activity. The report proposes mechanisms for the management and protection of Tasmania's seagrass  communities, and nominates representative areas for possible reserve status.

LIST Locality and Postcode Areas

The Locality and Postcode Areas dataset depicts the authoritative boundaries and names of localities.
A locality is an administrative area which uniquely defines the name of a place to enable street addressing. In metropolitan areas it may also be referred to as a Ã¢suburbÃ¢. Every locality has been defined with boundaries that do not overlap with other localities. Because of its unique name and unambiguous boundaries, a locality provides the official reference point for addressing purposes. A locality may include a town having the same name
Locality Boundaries generally extend to High Water Mark and may not include uninhabitable offshore rocks and small islands. Larger named islands which are not included in this dataset will, if required for addressing or location purposes, use the official island feature name as the locality.
Attributes include:
The approved locality name (NAME);
The Postal Code assigned by Australia Post for a locality (POSTCODE);
The plan reference of the Central Plans Office plan that defined the initial locality (PLAN_REF);
The Gazettal date for the proclamation first proclaiming the locality (GAZ_DATE)
The Place Names Advisory Panel (formally Nomenclature Board of Tasmania) approves the Locality boundaries and names, and Postcodes have been assigned by Australia Post.
