Land Capability - Grazing (DPIRD-032)

Land capability for grazing in the south west of Western Australia based on analysis and interpretation of the best available soil-landscape mapping dataset (DPIRD-027).

This assessment covers the grazing of sheep and cattle on broadscale dryland (i.e. nonirrigated) pastures in agricultural areas (receiving an average annual rainfall more than 350 mm). 

Land capability refers to the ability of land to support a type of land use without causing damage. 

See DAFWA Resource Management Technical Report 298 for a description of the qualities assessed and the methodology involved.

Capability ratings do not take into account factors such as the availability and quality of water supplies for irrigation or climatic risks such as frost or heat stress. Such factors need to be considered as a separate layer of information.

Prescribed Burn - Land Management Zones (DBCA-059)

Three Land Management Zones (LMZs) have been defined within Parks and Wildlife managed land at specified distances from the edge of the populated area. (see Reported Populated Areas data). The depth of these zones is defined by fire behaviour characteristics relevant to the zone purpose. The 200,000 ha prescribed burning target is allocated between the three zones in proportion to the amount of Parks and Wildlife managed land (including UCL) within each zone. Land Management Zone-A • LMZ-A is nearest to populated areas, including Parks and Wildlife managed lands within populated areas. • The objective of management in this zone is to reduce the likelihood of ember attack on populated areas in the event of a bushfire, by maintaining fuel in a condition that will not give rise to extreme fire behaviour. • The depth of LMZ-A is the spotting distance of the average fuels in LMZ-B; meaning that spot fires generated by a fire in LMZ-B will not reach the populated fringe. Land Management Zone-B • The next concentric buffer from the populated interface is LMZ-B. • The objective of management in this zone is to maintain an area within which a high intensity fire run could be arrested before it reaches LMZ-B. • The depth of LMZ-B is equal to the distance travelled by an ‘average’ bushfire in four hours, a period of time considered equivalent to the hottest period of an average day during the fire season. Land Management Zone-C • The third concentric buffer from the populated interface is LMZ-C, comprising the remainder of Parks and Wildlife managed land in the SWBRZ. • The objective of management in this area is to reduce the likelihood of the occurrence of large, intense fires in the landscape.

Incident Control Centre Sites (DBCA-062)

The Incident Control Site dataset represents the fire facilities around the state as nominated by the DBCA District Managers. Each site is either a Fixed Facility Incident Control Centre or Field Incident Control Centre Site. The dataset identifies sites for specific purposes should a fire event occur in the area. It is a dynamic dataset that will change over time and be reviewed every year. It is also important to note that an Incident Control Site whether it be a fixed or field ICC site can also be used as an Operations Point or Staging Area. DBCA does not purport that the information contained in this shapefile represents the only sites/all sites that are potentially available to be used as FFICC-Fixed Facility Incident Control Centre, FICCS- Field Incident Control Centre Sites. It is however a good guide for managers to determine a management site when required.

Vegetation Complexes - South West forest region of Western Australia (DBCA-047)

Department of Parks and Wildlife (DPaW) - Vegetation Complexes - SWF50k

The dataset is a comprehensive coverage of pre-1750 distribution of vegetation complexes of the south west forest region of Western Australia. This 1:50,000 mapping was undertaken by Mattiske and Havel (1998) as part of the biodiversity assessment for the comprehensive regional assessment for the south west forest region. The outputs from this project were used as inputs to the assessments of national estate, ecologically sustainable forest management, endangered species and the integration of all these values in the 1999 Regional Forest Agreement (RFA). This dataset covers the full extent mapped by Mattiske and Havel (1998) not just the area within the RFA boundary.
In March 2015 the dataset was reviewed to correct known and documented minor attributing errors and additional fields were incorporated including a unique numerical identifier (SWFor_ID). 

Webb et al. (2016) reviewed the 1:50,000 mapping of the Whicher Scarp and changes were made to ensure the complexes were a continuation of those defined by Mattiske and Havel (1998) and the extent of the landform correlated to that as defined by soil-landscape mapping (DAFWA 2007). In addition the review consolidated the boundaries along the Whicher and Darling Scarp interface with the Swan Coastal Plain. All Swan Coastal Plain complexes were removed and incorporated into the 2016 mapping of the “Swan Coastal Plain Vegetation Complexes” (Webb et al. 2016).

Land Monitor Salinity Extent 2018 (DPIRD-100)

Vectorized version of the Land Monitor Salinity Extent – South West of Western Australia 2018 dataset.

Salinity mapped in raster format with 25-m pixels. The Land Monitor salinity mapping process uses satellite imagery, high-resolution topographic data, ground information and ancillary GIS data sets to map areas of severely salt-affected land identified in consecutive satellite (Landsat TM) scenes (Furby et al 2010). To update the 1990 and 1998 estimates, the spatial-temporal methodology was re-applied using the same approach but took advantage of the latest data and improved computational resources (Caccetta et al 2022). Any changes in the extent of salt affected land detected by Land Monitor in the updated salinity mapping are most likely within the severe salinity class and may represent either expansions of this class of salinity or improvements in the condition of severely salt affected land or in the reduction of commission errors (compared to the original mapping).

This data has converted the salt effected areas to a vector geodatabase. Additional post processing to remove urban areas has been applied.

Swan Coastal Plain and Perth-Peel Native Vegetation Extent 2020 (DWER-140)

Remnant vegetation mapping for the Swan Coastal Plain bioregion, Metropolitan and Peel Region Scheme areas in 2020. Part of a suite of polygon datasets that best represent remnants of original pre-1750 vegetation across the mapped areas as at 2000, 2005, 2010, 2015, 2020 and 2024. The polygons represent interpreted areas of vegetation using current and historical digital aerial photography (1953-present) sourced from State Government repositories and other commercial products e.g. Digital globe, ESRI wayback imagery and Google. Simplified condition of the vegetation has been attributed to some polygons.

The mapped area covers the Metropolitan and Peel Region Schemes, the Swan Coastal Plain bioregion as defined in the Interim Biogeographic Regionalisation of Australia V 7.1 (Commonwealth of Australia, 2025) and the Swan Coastal Plain vegetation complexes (DBCA-046) (Department of Parks and Wildlife, 2016).

Index of Estuarine Condition Submerged Vegetation Data

IEC2021_SUB_VEG is the spatial representation of submerged vegetation used in the calculation of Index of Estuarine Condition (IEC) scores. In the context of the IEC, 'submerged vegetation' refers to aquatic plants attached to bottom sediments that are generally entirely submerged but may be exposed during very low tides. Field data was collected at various locations within the estuary to ground-truth the mapping of full coverage derived from available aerial imagery. The field data was collected in late spring, summer and early autumn to correspond with warmer water temperatures and longer photoperiods, and to avoid winter periods of submerged vegetation dieback. In the field, ground-truthing by taking photos of the benthic environment largely followed the protocols outlined in Woodland and Cook (2015). If the estuarine bed was visible, photographic samples were collected of the different vegetation types present. Coverages of these different vegetation types (e.g. dense, sparse) were also photographed as well as bare ground. Ground-truthed benthic images were mapped over high-resolution (&lt;20 cm) aerial imagery sourced from the DELWP imagery archive. Only imagery later than 2010 was considered, with most of the imagery used captured later than 2015. RPAS imagery collected for some estuaries was geo-rectified and mosaicked to provide very high-resolution imagery for mapping. Mapped areas were then compared to the geo-referenced ground-truthed benthic images and assigned a vegetation-coverage class and an indication of classification confidence (High, Medium or Low). For each estuary, MA:TV was then derived from the ratio of total macroalgae area to total vegetated area (i.e. seagrass and macroalgae) as per Woodland and Cook (2015). Briefly, vegetated habitat areas were weighted by their coverage classes such that polygons assigned <code>sparse¿medium¿ coverage were considered to contain 50% vegetation, and those assigned as</code>dense¿ coverage were considered as 100% vegetated. The ratio of macroalgae to total vegetation (MA:TV) was calculated as the sum of the weighted macroalgae areas divided by the sum of the weighted seagrass and macroalgae areas. MA:TV ranges from 0 to 1.
