The Native Vegetation of the Sydney Metropolitan Area (OEH, 2013), Version 2.0 - VIS_ID 3817

This layer contains digital mapping of the native vegetation communities of the Sydney Metropolitan area. Vegetation communities have been derived from the analysis of 2200 floristic sites collated for the study area. Identified vegetation communities have been related to currently listed threatened ecological communities listed under the NSW TSC Act, 1995 and the Commonwealth EPBC Act, 1999. Native vegetation communities have been mapped using a combination of detailed image interpretation, relationships between sample sites and abiotic environmental variables. The derived digital data layer includes fields that describe the vegetation community, interpreted dominant species and understorey characteristics, interpretation confidence, disturbance type and severity, NSW vegetation formation and classes and related NSW Plant Community Types. These are described in detail in technical reports OEH (2013) The Native Vegetation of the Sydney Metropolitan Area. Volume 1: Technical Report. Version 2.0. Office of Environment and Heritage, Department of Premier and Cabinet, Sydney.

Soil Landscapes of the Penrith 1:100,000 sheet

This map is one of a series of soil landscape maps that are intended for all of central and eastern NSW, based on standard 1:100,000 and 1:250,000 topographic sheets. The map provides an inventory of soil and landscape properties of the area and identifies major soil and landscape qualities and constraints. It integrates soil and topographic features into single units with relatively uniform land management requirements. Soils are described in terms of soil materials in addition to the Great Soil Group and Northcote classification systems.
Related Datasets: The dataset area is also covered by the mapping of the Soil and Land Resources of the Hawkesbury-Nepean Catchment interactive DVD.
Online Maps: This and related datasets can be viewed using eSPADE (NSW’s soil spatial viewer), which contains a suite of soil and landscape information including soil profile data. Many of these datasets have hot-linked soil reports. An alternative viewer is the SEED Map; an ideal way to see what other natural resources datasets (e.g. vegetation) are available for this map area.

General Purpose Water Accounting Reports - Lachlan and Belubula Catchment

NSW is the leading state in implementing standardised water resource accounting. The General Purpose Water Accounting Reports (GPWAR) adopt the Australian Water Accounting Standard 1 (AWAS 1).  The annual GPWAR is prepared for all major regulated NSW inland valleys. The reports are published following the closure of the water year. 
The annual reports provide stakeholders with consistent and transparent water resource accounting information.
Included in the GPWAR are:
•   a contextual statement summarising the climatic conditions, water resources, environmental holdings, water trading market and water resource management in the water source for the reporting period
•   a physical flow diagram illustrating changes in storage volumes and the associated inflows and outflows
•   water accounting statements presenting the opening and closing balances, and itemised changes to these balances for available water resources (water assets), licenced allocation accounts (water liabilities) and planned environmental water accounts (water liabilities)
•   disclosure notes (linked to the figures within the water accounting statements) providing detailed information of accounting components including:
      (i)   access licence account balances planned and held environmental, 
      (ii)  water account balance, 
      (iii) detailed available water determination report,
      (iv)  temporary trading by licence category,
      (v)   supplementary announcements and usage by river reach,
      (vi)  physical inflows and outflows to the system for the water year.

•   while groundwater has not been directly included in this GPWAR (aside from those processes that directly affect the regulated river), annual groundwater summary reports by water source are published separately and accessible via the department’s website.

Namoi CMA vegetation extant map, 2013. VIS_ID 4028

An extant vegetation map was developed for the Namoi Catchment Management Authority (Namoi CMA) in 2009 by integrating all existing spatial datasets, undertaking some targeted mapping in identified gaps, and applying a standard regional vegetation community (RVC) classification (ELA 2009a). A pre-European vegetation map was also assembled in 2009 by extrapolating RVCs into the modified landscape using landscape association information and remnant tree point data (ELA 2009b).

High Ecological Value Waterways and Water Dependent Ecosystems - WAVERLEY LGA

A map of the high ecological value waterways and water dependent ecosystems for the Waverley 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 3 indicators making up the map for the Waverley 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.

Multi Attribute Data - Coffs River Catchment - Landform and Condition Dataset

The multiple attribute mapping process provides a vector based inventory of the landscape in
terms of slope, terrain, landuse, vegetation, presence of tree regrowth, tree and shrub canopy
density, presence of understorey, soil erosion condition, and rockiness. Mass movement and
soil conservation measures are mapped where they exist, as is a selected range of weed
species. 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 of different data sets.
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 The information can, however, be useful as a
first level of information in property planning exercises.

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.
