Vegetation of Charlotte Pass, Kosciuszko Resorts Vegetation Assessment 2003.
Associated Report:
"Kosciuszcko Resorts Vegetation Assessment", Ecology Australia 2003
Fieldwork was carried out on 19-29 March 2002.  A random sampling strategy was employed using the recent air photographs as a guide to the range of vegetation types present.  Sampling points were chosen to represent variation in the vegetation observed in the field.  Quadrat sizes were as follows:
*    25 m2: bogs, herbfields and grasslands
*  100 m2:  heaths and woodland.
A total of 216 quadrats were sampled.  The following number of quadrats were sampled at the respective resorts:
Thredbo         72
Perisher            54
Charlottes Pass 48
Bullocks Flat       14
Mt Selwyn       28
An additional 40 quadrats, previously surveyed at Thredbo in 2000 (J. Miles unpubl. data), were also analysed with the data set. In each quadrat all vascular plant species observed were recorded and assigned a visually assessed cover/abundance value from the modified Braun-Blanquet scale (Gullan 1978).
Vegetation mapping was based on Air Photo Interpretation (API) of 2002 1:8000 air photos, field checking and interpretation of the quadrat data.

Old Growth Forest Ecosystems Interim CRAFTI Grid for CRA Lower North East. VIS_ID 5059

Map of the distribution of old-growth forest ecosystems across extant forest in the Lower North East CRA region.  Three separate classifications and mapping techniques were used to derive the ecosystems in three distinct biogeographic regions and these classifications and maps were then expertly integrated and merged to create a full coverage across the region.  The ecosystems were mapped for application in the Comprehensive Regional Assessment process. They were then clipped to candidate old growth, component of the CRAFTI successional forest growth stage mapping.
The 100m modelled grid data is to be used in a regional context and not for fine scale interpretation.  For areas without detailed vegetation mapping (western portions of the UNE and LNE regions, and the southern portion of the LNE region) the modelled distributions were used to predict the proportion of a modelled ecosystem only.  As a result, the exact spatial representation of the data is not designed to be accurate.

Hydrogeological Landscapes for the Central West Catchment Management Authority: Western Study Area: May 2012 (First Edition)

_NOTE: This dataset has been superseded by Hydrogeological Landscapes for the Central West Catchment Management Authority Western Study Area May 2013 Second Edition – https://datasets.seed.nsw.gov.au/dataset/hydrogeological-landscapes-for-the-central-west-catchment-management-authority-western-study-ar89be3
The Hydrogeological Landscape (HGL) concept provides a structure for the understanding of how salinity manifests itself in the landscape and how differences in salinity are expressed across the landscape. A HGL spatially defines areas of similar salt stores and pathways for salt mobilisation. The process of HGL determination relies on the integration of a number of factors: geology, soils, slope, regolith depth, and climate; an understanding of the differences in salinity development; and the impacts (land salinity/salt load/water electrical conductivity) in landscapes. Information sources such as soils maps, site characterisation, salinity site mapping, hydrogeological conditions and surface and groundwater data are combined to develop standard templates for each HGL. The focus of this dataset is the Western Central West study area west of the Newell Highway. It comprises introductory information on HGLs; HGL templates; and maps and digital spatial data developed for the project, including derivative maps to assist in land management decision making in the Western Central West study area. This includes information on salinity management from the perspectives of land use design, scales and types of management, landscape function, management strategies, actions and outcomes, as well as land use to be avoided.

Vegetation and Floristics of Mt Kaputar National Park VIS_ID 931

The vegetation of Mt Kaputar national Park is described and mapped (scale 1:25 000). Ten communities are defined based on PATN analysis. Ten communities are mapped based on ground truthing, air photo interpretation and altitude. Most communities are of a woodland structure, however forests exist along with shrublands, herbfield and some grasslands. The distribution of communities is correlated to altitude, protection from the north east and north and physiography. Community distribution was also found to be related to other factors including, mainly but also soil depth, slope, drainage and easting. Many of the communities show considerable variation and integrade along common boundaries. A number of specialised communities are thought to be largely restricted to the reserve and nearby areas.

High Ecological Value Waterways and Water Dependent Ecosystems - SYDNEY LGA

A map of the high ecological value waterways and water dependent ecosystems for the Sydney 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 8 indicators making up the map for the Sydney 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.

Historical Fire Extent and Severity Mapping (FESM) - Statewide 2007-08

Fire severity is a metric of the loss of biomass caused by fire. In collaboration with the NSW Rural Fire Service, the department's Remote Sensing &amp; Regulatory Mapping team has developed a semi-automated approach to mapping fire extent and severity through a machine learning framework based on satellite imagery. 
The method uses standardised classes to allow comparison of different fires across the landscape. The FESM severity classes include: unburnt, low severity (burnt understory, unburnt canopy), moderate severity (partial canopy scorch), high severity (complete canopy scorch, partial canopy consumption), extreme (full canopy consumption). 
Here we provide statewide historical severity mapping of fires &gt;100ha for the 2007-08 fire year, which is based on Landsat satellite imagery (30m pixels). From 2016/17 to the current fire year is covered in the statewide FESM data, which is based on Sentinel 2 satellite imagery (10m pixels).

WATER RESOURCE INFORMATION

The Water Resource Information collection brings together key datasets and reports describing how water is allocated, accounted for, and reported across New South Wales. Developed by the NSW Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water (DCCEEW), these assets promote transparency, consistency, and informed decision-making across the water sector.
The collection includes:


Allocation Account Balance Summary: Summarised information showing how water is held, used, traded, or carried over within licensed allocation accounts at the end of each water year.


Available Water Determinations (AWD): Annual Allocation Announcements that define the percentage of licensed entitlement credited to water accounts each year, ensuring equitable and sustainable access in accordance with Water Sharing Plans.


NSW General Purpose Water Accounting Reports (GPWAR): Annual reports prepared under the Australian Water Accounting Standard 1 (AWAS 1), providing consistent, transparent accounting across NSW’s major regulated inland valleys.


NSW Water Dashboards: Interactive dashboards presenting views of water availability, trade, and usage information — enhancing public access, transparency, and understanding of the state’s water resources.


Together, these datasets form a connected picture of how water moves through the allocation and accounting cycle, supporting evidence-based management and the Department’s commitment to open data and public accountability.
