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

The multiple attribute mapping process as applied in this dataset provides a vector based inventory of the landscape in terms of landuse, vegetation, presence of tree regrowth, tree and shrub canopy density, presence of understorey and soil erosion condition.
It is referred to as Land Condition Mapping.  Mass movement is mapped where it exists as is a selected range of weed species.  These characteristics of the land are part of the larger dataset of characteristics that can be mapped using the NSW Dept. of Land and Water Conservation's full set of attribute codes.  Multi Attribute Data is a vector-based inventory of the landscape comprising polygon and linear features.  This system of mapping can describe a number of attributes (such as slope, terrain, landuse, vegetation community, presence of tree regrowth, soil erosion, rock outcrops, geology, Great Soil Groups, weed species and soil conservation measures) in to one polygon.  The value of attribute mapping lies in the fact that the data, which objectively characterises the land, can be used for a variety of purposes and is only limited by the scale of mapping and the classification used.  This translates into the availability of a range of derivative products.  Mapping is typically carried out at 1:25 000 scale using topographic maps as a base.  Outputs are most useful at a sub- catchment or regional scale but not generally at property level.

Forest Ecosystems, Western Sub-region, Southern CRA VIS_ID 3793

The pre-1750 and extant Forest Ecosystem maps of the Western sub-region comprise a number of different Generalised Additive Models (GAMs) and interpreted API and soils data. Within the extant vegetation area, expert botanists developed the map by assigning API polygons to vegetation groups, determined by an ecological classification process using PATN software. On cleared land, a combination of soils, GAMs, and classified site data was used to assign vegetation groups to distinct topographic and soil patterns. This hybrid expert and modelling approach was approved and signed off by a review team of expert botanists including two independents, one NPWS representative and one SFNSW representative. Seventy-six distinct ecosystems have been mapped in the pre-1750 map for this sub-region. The extant map was derived from the pre-1750 map by cutting it to the extant vegetation. The extant vegetation layer incorporates the vegetated API polygons from the CRAFTI project, RN17 mapping, and remnants. Seventy-two distinct ecosystems have been mapped in the extant map for this sub-region. (VIS_ID 3793; ANZLIC: ANZNS0208000145)

Goonoo Reserves Vegetation 2018 VIS_ID 4835

Eco Logical Australia (ELA) was commissioned by the NSW Office of Environment and Heritage (OEH) through the NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) to undertake vegetation survey and mapping of Goonoo National Park, Goonoo State Conservation Area, Coolbaggie Nature Reserve, Mogriguy National Park and Sappa Bulga National Park (Goonoo Reserves).  The project sought to review existing data and mapping and align vegetation communities with the current state-wide vegetation classification through the collection of strategic data on the floristic and structural diversity of the Goonoo Reserves.
The Goonoo Reserves are located approximately between 25 km and 44 km north east of Dubbo in the NSW Central Western Slopes region. Goonoo National Park covers an area of 9,066 ha, Goonoo State Conservation Area covers an area of 54,522 ha, Coolbaggie Nature Reserve covers an area of 1,793 ha and Mogriguy National Park covers an area of 399 ha. Sappa Bulga National Park which is located approximately 11 km south west of Dubbo forms part of this study and covers an area of 121 ha. The Goonoo Reserves located within the Brigalow Belt South (BBS) Bioregion (Pilliga subregion) and the Central West Local Land Service (LLS) Area.
Existing vegetation surveys and mapping were reviewed and supplemented with 18 additional full floristic vegetation plots and over 720 rapid data points (RDPs). Plant Community Type (PCT) mapping was undertaken at a scale of 1:10,000 using a range of datasets including the attribution of segment 30 linework in three dimensions (3D) using stereo ADS40 imagery.

Forest Ecosystem Grid for CRA Upper North East. VIS_ID 3882

Map of the distribution of each forest ecosystem across extant forest in the Upper North East CRA region.  Two separate classifications and mapping techniques were used to derive the ecosystems in two distinct biogeographic regions and these classifications and maps were then expertly integrated and merged to create a full coverage across the region. ;
;
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.;

Soil Landscapes of the Wollongong-Port Hacking 1:100,000 sheets

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, Acid Sulphate Soil Risk Mapping and Hydrogeological landscapes of NSW.
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.

Monitoring, Evaluation and Reporting Salinity Pressure and Land Management Summary - Report Card Scores and Trends (5 December 2008)

This dataset contains a summary of the derived salinity condition scores generated for the Soil Condition and Land Mangaement within Capability themes of the NSW Monitoring, Evaluation &amp; Reporting (MER) program. It also gives details of scores, trends, data sources and confidence for  salinity pressure and land management of salinised land within its capability.
The salinity condition scores were generated from 'known saline site' mapping and API activities carried out by DLWC and DIPNR regions between 2000 and 2005. Scores are based on location, size and intensity of salinised areas and their impacts on in-stream salt load and electrical conductivity. The overall salinity condition score ranges from 5 (minimal salinity impact on land and water) through to 1 (severe salinity impact on land and water). 
Expert opinion from staff working in the salinity field was used to assess salinity pressure and land management scores and trends for each SMU being considered. Salinity pressure and land management scores are rated from 5 (minimal) through to 1 (severe).

NSW Sheep-Wheat Belt Box-Gum Woodland Biodiversity Survey Sites 2004-2007 . VIS_ID 4091

This spatial layer contains summary flora and fauna biodiversity survey data derived from project specific surveys conducted for the Biodiversity Conservation in the Sheep Wheat Belt of NSW Project between November 2004 and February 2007. Included in the data are Endangered Ecological Communities (EECs) and threatened flora and fauna species. The primary focus of this component of the project was to survey "off reserve" distribution of Box-Gum Woodland (White Box - Yellow Box - Blakely's Red Gum) EEC within the Murray, Murrumbidgee, Lachlan, Central West, Hunter-Central Rivers, Namoi and Border Rivers-Gwydir Catchment Management Authority areas. The project area extended from the Victorian to Queensland borders and across the Western Slopes and western parts of the Tablelands of NSW. Consistent with project objectives the majority (502) of the 722 survey sites were in remnant patches of Box-Gum Woodland. The remaining sites were in other vegetation types, mostly remnant patches identified as Inland Grey Box Woodland EEC and Box-Gum Woodland ecotone. Several sites were in patches identified as Fuzzy Box Woodland EEC and McKies Stringybark / Blackbutt Open Forest EEC. All but around 30 of the 722 sites were located on private land and public land outside formal state conservation reserves. Attributes listed show distribution; survey method; date; tenure; estimated patch area; vegetation community type, strata dominant species; habitat structure; plant and bird species richness and threatened species number; qualitative condition and conservation value; biophysical and administrative boundaries. To meet requirements for landholder privacy site attributes are assigned to 5km x 5km (2500ha) polygons instead of points. Polygons containing survey sites are only displayed. Survey site point location coordinates are shown in the attributes table where the written consent of landholders / land managers has been received. Attributes values are derived from a separate accompanying spreadsheet database extracted from a larger relational survey database. NOTE: There are multiple records for some polygons (overlaps). This is not an error. VIS_ID 4091

Rainforest, NPWS South Coast Region, Validated 2002. VIS_ID 4155

Validating the extent of modelled "rare and vulnerable forest ecosystems" identified during the Southern CRA (1997-2000) was required for ecologically sustainable conservation management of reserves within the NPWS South Coast Region. The validation was for 47 forest ecosystems out of a total of 96 forest ecosystems that occur in the NPWS South Coast Region. Considerable improvements were made to the reliability and accuracy of the vegetation ecosystem map. Some 3000 edits were incorporated into the revised forest ecosystem map. Six new ecosystems were newly classified as part of this contract. VIS_ID 4155

Composite vegetation map for the Border Rivers-Gwydir Catchment (2009) VIS_ID 3801

This vegetation map for the Border Rivers-Gwydir Catchment Management Authority (CMA) area, Northern NSW, was upgraded in 2009 by EcoLogical Aust. This included adding new spatial data targeting unmapped ‘gaps’, by removing areas of non-woody vegetation previously mapped as woody, and by further refining the regional vegetation community (RVC) classification. The labelling of ‘undetermined’ types is made more consistent, and a final spatial verification of the distribution of each RVC is undertaken.
Integration of the four new layers adds about 115,000 ha of ‘woody’ RVCs and 200,000 ha of either non-woody RVCs or non-vegetation to the vegetation map, while elimination of ‘non-woody’ areas of woody RVCs converts some 145,000 ha to either non-woody vegetation RVCs or non-vegetation. The net result of the review is a reduction in the extent of mapped woody RVCs by about 30,000 ha, an increase in mapped non-woody RVCs by 80,000 ha, and an increase in mapped non-vegetation (mainly cropping) by about 120,000 ha.
The consistency of labelling of undetermined types in the layer is improved by replacing previous labels –'undetermined veg’, ‘undetermined non-veg’ and ‘undetermined’ with more definitive categories – ‘undetermined woody veg’, ‘undetermined non-woody veg’ and ‘undetermined non veg’.
A total of about 1,053,000 ha of the map incurred a change of RVC as a result of RVC review, mainly as a result of review of grassland mapping, specifically RVCs 26 – 28, and grassy box types, including RVC 19 (White Cypress Pine -
Silver-leaved Ironbark grassy woodland, Nandewar) and RVC 44 (White Box - pine - Silver-leaved Ironbark shrubby open forests, Brigalow Belt South and Nandewar).
While data gaps remain in the vegetation layer, particularly in the north-east of the catchment, their extent has diminished as a result of integration of new data, so that the overall mapped coverage of RVCs has increased in the BRG, and the spatial distribution of mapped RVCs has also improved. This provides more certainty in spatial outputs arising from interrogation of spatial vegetation data, for example ‘high conservation value’ surfaces. However, the inherent problem of quality of baseline composite API data upon which the RVC surface is based continues to be recognised, and opportunities to continue to improve the vegetation map through further gap filling and field verification should be taken.
Note this dataset supersedes the BRG component of the existing vegetation dataset called "Namoi and Border Rivers Gwydir Catchments composite vegetation map (2008) - VIS_ID 3842" dataset.

Woody Extent Vegetation - Cessnock LGA. VIS ID 5123

The Department of Planning provides support to Local Government to enable evidence-based planning decisions. Biodiversity and Conservation Division collaborated with Cessnock City Council in 2021-2022 to deliver environmental map layers (Environmental Lands Study) that facilitate council’s review of their Local Environment Plan. This dataset is one of those and delineates woody vegetation at fine scale across the 196,468-hectare Cessnock Local Government Area (LGA). All tenures were mapped excluding National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) estate because they are formally reserved and protected under Local Environment Plans and were outside of the scope of the Environmental Lands Study. Data is in vector format and was produced to a scale range of 1:500 – 1:3000 and captures individual trees or shrubs with diameters down to 3m whilst excluding and eliminating shadow effects. 
The dataset is an accurate fine-scale baseline woody dataset for the Cessnock LGA that is current with the image dates of 2017-19 in the east and 2011 for a small area in the far west. From here on the layer will require maintenance and updating as landuse and landcover changes over time. However, the layer’s accuracy means that maintenance and update requirements are minimal in terms of mapping expertise and resources. Either field verified data or newer high-resolution imagery can be used to perform maintenance and updating of the layer.
