The Hills Road Segment 3D May 2024

Access APIMetadata Portal Metadata InformationContent TitleThe Hills Road Segment 3D May 2024Content TypeScene Layer/Scene Layer PackageDescriptionNSW Transport Theme Road Segment is a line feature class representing a section of road having common attributes and terminating at its physical and or at an intersection with another road at the same grade (same level). Its position is determined by the methodology used to input into the Topographic Database. Common methods of input include GPS, traced from the cadastre or traced from an orthorectified image.Data included in Road Segments includes:Vehicular TrackPathwayContinuity LineStandard Road&nbsp;On-off RampDual CarriagewayInitial Publication Date01/05/2024Data Currency01/05/2024Data Update FrequencyOtherContent SourceData provider filesFile TypeScene Layer Package (*.slpk)AttributionData Theme, Classification or Relationship to other DatasetsTransport Theme of the NSW Foundation Spatial Data FrameworkAccuracyThe dataset maintains a positional relationship to, and alignment with, the Lot and Property digital datasets. The Lot and Property data was captured by digitising the best available cadastral mapping at a variety of scales and accuracies, ranging from 1:500 to 1:250 000 according to the National Mapping Council of Australia, Standards of Map Accuracy (1975). Therefore, the position of the feature instance will be within 0.5mm at the map scale for 90% of the well-defined points. That is 1:500 = 0.25m, 1:2000 = 1m, 1:4000 = 2m, 1:25000 = 12.5m, 1:50000 = 25m and 1:00000 = 50m. A program of positional upgrade (accuracy improvement) is currently underway. Feature heights have been derived from LiDAR elevation sources including 1m and 2m DEMS. The data used to create the DEMs have an accuracy of 0.3m (95% Confidence Interval) vertical and 0.8m (95% Confidence Interval) horizontal. The features vertical accuracy is also a function of its horizon.Spatial Reference System (dataset)WGS84Spatial Reference System (web service)EPSG:4326WGS84 Equivalent ToGDA2020Spatial ExtentContent LineageData ClassificationUnclassifiedData Access PolicyOpenData QualityTerms and ConditionsCreative CommonStandard and SpecificationData CustodianSpatial Services | Department of Customer ServicesPoint of ContactSS-SDS@customerservice.nsw.gov.auData AggregatorSpatial Services | Department of Customer ServicesData DistributorSpatial Services | Department of Customer ServicesAdditional Supporting InformationOpen Geospatial Consortium (OGC) implemented and compatible for the consumption by common GIS platforms.

Gibraltar Range National Park Vegetation 2002 VIS_ID 4731

Gibraltar Range and southern Washpool National Parks vegetation mapping was undertaken by Paul Sheringham and Dr John T. Hunter in 2002 by contract for the NPWS Northern Tableland Region.  The study area includes Gibraltar Range National Park and the southern section of the Washpool National Park on the north coast and northern tablelands in north eastern New South Wales. The park is located on the Great Diving Range approximately 90 km east of Grafton and about 65 km east Glen Innes. The Gibraltar range straddles the northern tablelands and north coast botanical subdivisions.
The vegetation of Gibraltar Range and southern Washpool National Parks is described and mapped (scale 1:25 000). Twelve communities are defined based on PATN analysis, a thirteen is defined based on previous investigations, ten broad community associations are mapped. These ten mapping communities were mapped based on ground truthing, air photo interpretation and landform. Two communities are considered vulnerable and three rare. Most communities are of open forest structure, although sedgelands, heaths, woodlands, mallee scrubs, tall open forests and closed forests also occur. Many of the communities show considerable variation and intergrade along common boundaries.

High Ecological Value Waterways and Water Dependent Ecosystems - LANE COVE LGA

A map of the high ecological value waterways and water dependent ecosystems for the Lane Cove 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 14 indicators making up the map for the Lane Cove 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.

Biodiversity Conservation Lands (Detailed Version) for the Upper Hunter Regional Strategy

The Biodiversity Conservation Lands dataset has been compiled for the Upper Hunter and 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:
1. 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 proforma


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 features occurring in existing development zones will be encouraged


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 Gloucester and Dungog
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

Mount Mackenzie Nature Reserve Vegetation 2002 VIS_ID 4747

Mount Mackenzie Nature Reserve vegetation mapping was undertaken by Dr John T. Hunter in 2002 by contract for the NPWS Northern Tableland Region. It is described in the Vegetation and Floristics of the Tenterfield Nature Reserves report which includes Bluff River, Bolivia Hill, Curry’s Gap, Gibraltar &amp;
Mt McKenzie. All reserves lie north of Glen Innes and south of Tenterfield in the New England Tablelands Bioregion. The local government area for all reserves is the Tenterfield Shire and the County of Clive. Mt McKenzie NR is approximately 5 km south west of Tenterfield. It encloses 141 ha.
The vegetation of five reserves within the Tenterfield area is described and mapped (scale 1:50 000). Fifteen communities are defined based on PATN analysis and an additional community is mapped based on information derived from previous investigations. These fifteen communities were mapped based on ground truthing, air photo interpretation and landform. Seven communities are considered of conservation importance with two of which were considered endangered and one should be considered vulnerable. Most communities are of woodland structure, although sedgelands, heaths, grasslands, open forests and tall open forests also occur. Many of the communities show considerable variation and intergrade along common boundaries and in particular on intermediate soil types. Physiography was the majorcorrelative influence on community distribution, however protection from the north west and east, time since fire, grazing and geographic locality were also strongly correlated.

Historical Fire Extent and Severity Mapping (FESM) - Statewide 2013-14

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 2013-14 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).

Assessment of McKies Stringybark/Blackbutt Open Forest on NSW Crown Forest Estate

The operational map McKies Stringybark/Blackbutt Open Forest (MSBOF) was constructed to resolve long-standing issues surrounding its identification, location and extent within the NSW State Forest estate covered by the eastern Regional Forest Agreements. 
The project’s Threatened Ecological Community (TEC) Reference Panel (the Panel) reviewed the determination for MSBOF and agreed upon a set of diagnostic parameters for its identification. These parameters included the presence of lateritic soils and the characteristic eucalypt species Eucalyptus mckieana and Eucalyptus andrewsii.  Using these diagnostic parameters, we assessed whether MSBOF is present within more than 150 000 hectares of state forests within the Upper and Lower North East IFOA areas of the Nandewar and New England Bioregions. We began the assessment process by examining the distribution of Eucalyptus mckieana records in NSW Bionet and other available systematic plot data characterising regional vegetation patterns. We then used the results of a recently completed vegetation mapping in the region (OEH, 2015) to provide an indicative map of related vegetation communities within State Forests. From this initial investigation, we identified three state forests as candidate areas for MSBOF within the Project Study area – Mount Topper, New Valley and Clive State Forests. We collected systematic plot data from these state forests in mapped communities related to the TEC and from within stands of vegetation dominated by the primary eucalypt species described in the determination.
On this basis we identified four plots within Mount Topper State Forest as being MSBOF TEC and went on to construct an operational map at a scale commensurate with the needs of forestry field operations. In total, we mapped a total of 201 hectares of MSBOF, 101 hectares of which were contained in the IFOA area.
Operational TEC Mapping have been derived by API at a viewing scale between 1-4000 using ADS40 50 cm pixel imagery and 1 m derived LIDAR DEM grids for floodplain EECs.
