High Ecological Value Waterways and Water Dependent Ecosystems - CANTERBURY-BANKSTOWN LGA

A map of the high ecological value waterways and water dependent ecosystems for the Canterbury-Bankstown 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 23 indicators making up the map for the Canterbury-Bankstown 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.

Ngulin Nature Reserve Vegetation 2005 VIS_ID 4750

Ngulin Nature Reserve vegetation mapping was undertaken by Dr John T. Hunter in 2005 by contract for the NPWS Northern Tableland Region.  Ngulin NR incorporates 1255 ha and lies approximately 40 km south east of Walcha towards Nowendoc, within the Northern Tablelands Botanical Region and the New England Tablelands Bioregion. The reserve was gazetted in 1999.
The vegetation of Ngulin Nature Reserve is described and mapped (scale 1:25 000). Six communities are defined based on classification (Kulczynski association). These six communities were mapped based on ground truthing, air photo interpretation and landform. Two communities are considered to be endangered and one considered as under threat within the reserve, all others are considered adequately reserved. Most communities are of forest structure, though some sections are woodlands or derived woodlands based on past logging practices. The communities show considerable variation and intergrade along common boundaries and in particular on intermediate soil types or topographic positions. In general all six communities probably are representatives of three broader north eastern assemblages, the Eucalyptus obliqua-E. nobilis association, E. pauciflora association and the Schizomeria-Doryphora- Caldcluvia-Orites sub-alliance.

NSW Forest Agreements

The NSW forest agreement regions dataset contains the boundaries of the four current NSW forest agreements which cover the eastern areas of NSW. The regions include the Upper North East, Lower North East, Eden and Southern. 
NSW forest agreements provide a framework for long-term decisions on forest use and management. They were formed from consultation and consensus established between the NSW Government and major forest stakeholders. 
Forest agreements impart certainty for industry, conservation and the community. They deliver on the NSW Government's forest policy to:
• protect environmental values in a world-class system of national parks and other reserves
• encourage the creation of forest industries that are strong, competitive and ecologically sustainable 
• manage native forests in an ecologically sustainable way.
The agreements are for 20 years and progress on their implementation is reported annually. Further information on each NSW forest agreement is available on the EPA website at
http://www.epa.nsw.gov.au/forestagreements/FAS.htm

Killabakh Nature Reserve Vegetation 2003. VIS_ID 381

Vegetation community mapping for two small portions of Killabakh Nature Reserve (the area around Killabakh mountain and a southern isolated section) by Paul McDonald, 2003. Traditional API methodology was used to complete this job across five reserves for the Manning Area, Mid North Coast NPWS Region:;
1.Brimbin Nature Reserve and adjoining freehold lands;
2.Coxcomb NR and Anderson VCA;
3.Khatambuhl NR;
4.Two sections of Killabakh NR ;
5.Freehold purchase area on northwest corner of Goonook NR, around Mount Goonook;
The project consisted of fieldwork where possible and then interpretation of the photos to define the species types present. Some follow up fieldwork was undertaken.;
Rather than assign a species type label to each polygon on the area, the polygon was given a number from 1 to n, for each area. A table for the area has a description of each polygon. VIS_ID 381

Yina Nature Reserve Vegetation 2003 VIS_ID 4763

Yina Nature Reserve vegetation mapping was undertaken by Dr John T. Hunter in 2003 by contract for the NPWS Northern Tableland Region.  Yina NR is located within the New England Tablelands Bioregion and the Northern Tablelands Botanical District and is approximately 10 km east of Armidale.  The reserve incorporates 101 ha within the Armidale Dumaresq Shire. The reserve was formally known as Hillgrove State Forest.  
The vegetation of Yina Nature Reserve is described and mapped (scale 1:25 000).
Four communities are defined based on classification (Kulczynski association). These four communities were mapped based on ground truthing, air photo interpretation and landform. Two communities are Endangered and one considered as vulnerable, the fourth is considered to be poorly reserved. Most communities are of woodland and open forest structure. The communities show considerable variation and intergrade along common boundaries and in particular on intermediate soil types.

Multi Attribute Data - Nambucca River Catchment - Landform and Condition

The mapping process as applied in this dataset provides a vector based inventort of the landscape in terms of landuse, vegetation, presence of tree regrowth, tree and shrub canopy density, presence of understorey and soil erosion condition. Mass movement is mapped where it exists, as is a selected range of weed species in pasture areas. 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 go different data sets. The full SCALD programme permits the coding of slope, terrain, land use, vegetation community, vegetation regeneration, tree and shrub canopy density, understorey status, projective foliage cover (McDonald et al. 1990), Western Region vegetation, soil erosion, mass movement, soil conservation earthworks, extent of rock outcrops, geology and Great soil groups., geology, great soil group, soil landscapes, physical limitations, land capability, soil depth, user defined attributes and Northwest vegetation associations. Soil landscapes information from the DLWC mapping program of the same name can be incorporated into the SCALD code set. 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.
