High Ecological Value Waterways and Water Dependent Ecosystems - MOSMAN LGA

A map of the high ecological value waterways and water dependent ecosystems for the Mosman 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 Mosman 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.

Native Fish-BRUV-Manning River Catchment

The native fish dataset encompasses observations gathered from diverse regions within New South Wales (NSW), Australia. This dataset is characterised by its point-based structure, consisting of records of native fish occurrences obtained through baited remote underwater video surveys (BRUVs).
Baited remote underwater video surveys (BRUVs) employ underwater cameras equipped with bait to attract fish, allowing for visual identification and documentation of fish species at various depths and locations within aquatic environments.
Each record in the native fish dataset includes essential information such as species identification, spatial coordinates of observation sites, survey methodology, and additional environmental parameters such as water quality, habitat characteristics, and vegetation cover. These data offer valuable insights into the distribution, abundance, and diversity of native fish populations across NSW, contributing to scientific research, conservation planning, and ecosystem management initiatives aimed at preserving aquatic biodiversity and ecosystem health.

HEVAE Vegetation Groundwater Dependent Ecosystems Value - Western Division

NSW DoI Water has adopted the Guidelines for Identifying High Ecological Value Aquatic Ecosystems (HEVAE) framework developed by the Australian Commonwealth Government. In the current assessment for NSW, the HEVAE consists of four key criteria which include diversity, distinctiveness, naturalness and vital habitat. Therefore, the HEVAE vegetation GDE value layer is a combination of four individual criterion layers. The final or overall HEVAE score was determined for vegetation PCT polygons which has a high probability of being groundwater dependent. This was calculated by adding together the final scores for each criterion (Naturalness, Diversity, Distinctiveness and Vital Habitat). This score was then standardised by dividing by the maximum combined HEVAE score for a whole catchment’s vegetation GDE polygons to provide an even spread of score outcomes between 0 (lowest) and 1 (highest). For ease of data modelling and management, the dataset was divided into the following catchment management areas; Border Rivers-Gwydir, Central Tablelands, Central West, Hawkesbury-Nepean, Hunter-Central Rivers, Lachlan, Lower Murray Darling, Murray, Murrumbidgee, Namoi, Northern Rivers, Southern Rivers, Southern Tablelands, Sydney Metro and Western Division (MDB and far west subdivided further into the IBRA Sub regions).

NSW Bush Fire Prone Land

Bush Fire Prone Land is mapped within a local government area, which becomes the trigger for planning for bush fire protection. Bush Fire Prone Land mapping is intended to designate areas of the State that are considered to be higher bush fire risk for development control purposes. Not being designated bush fire prone is not a guarantee that losses from bush fires will not occur. The NSW Bush Fire Prone Land dataset is a map prepared in accordance with the Guide for Bush Fire Prone Land Mapping (BFPL Mapping Guide) and certified by the Commissioner of NSW RFS under purposes of Section 10.3 of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 No 203. 
Over time there has been various releases of the BFPL Mapping Guide, in which the categories and types of vegetation included in the BFPL map have changed. The version of the guide under which, each polygon or LGA was certified is contained in the data. 
BFPL is an area of land that can support a bush fire or is likely to be subject to bush fire attack, as designated on a bush fire prone land map. The definition of bushfire vegetation categories under guideline version 5b: * Vegetation Category 1 consists of: &gt; Areas of forest, woodlands, heaths (tall and short), forested wetlands and timber plantations. * Vegetation Category 2 consists of: &gt;Rainforests. &gt;Lower risk vegetation parcels. These vegetation parcels represent a lower bush fire risk to surrounding development and consist of: - Remnant vegetation; - Land with ongoing land management practices that actively reduces bush fire risk. * Vegetation Category 3 consists of: &gt; Grasslands, freshwater wetlands, semi-arid woodlands, alpine complex and arid shrublands. * Buffers are created based on the bushfire vegetation, with buffering distance being 100 metres for vegetation category 1 and 30 metres for vegetation category 2 and 3. 
Vegetation excluded from the bushfire vegetation categories include isolated areas of vegetation less than one hectare, managed lands and some agricultural lands. Please refer to BFPL Mapping Guide for a full list of exclusions.
The legislative context of this dataset is as follows: On 1 August 2002, the Rural Fires and Environmental Assessment Legislation Amendment Act 2002 (Amendment Act) came into effect. The Act amended both the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 and the Rural Fire Services Act 1997 to ensure that people, property and the environment are more fully protected against the dangers that may arise from bushfires. Councils are required to map bushfire prone land within their local government area, which becomes the trigger for the consideration of bushfire protection measures when developing land. BFPL Mapping Guidelines are available from www.rfs.nsw.gov.au

Fire Heterogeneity Index (FHI) - Blue Mountains

Remote sensing scientists from the NSW Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water (NSW DCCEEW) Science and Insights Division have developed a new approach to mapping the landscape patterns of high severity fire, based on NSW Fire Extent and Severity Mapping (FESM). 
High severity fire impacts an ecosystem by completely scorching or consuming the canopy biomass. Such impacts can be harmful to biodiversity, although some species benefit or even depend on this level of fire impact. 
Recent advances in remote sensing of fire and innovative computation solutions by DCCEEW Remote Sensing Scientists offer accessibility to data on fire severity and landscape patterns of fire heterogeneity across broad regions.

Joint Vegetation Mapping Project: Brigalow Belt South Bioregion, Predicted Potential Vegetation model VIS_ID 1650

The JVMP has produced a "predicted potential vegetation distribution model" that showed the potential for a particular vegetation group, expressed as a probability, to occur in a given environment. The potential distribution is dependant on the current extant distribution, as defined by the sampling regime, and the relationships such vegetation groups have with the suite of environmental factors utilised by the model. The predicted potential vegetation;
distribution model was designed as a tool suitable for landscape level planning at a bioregional scale. This product has substantial utility in land repair and revegetation projects and is designed as a tool for looking forward rather than backwards. VIS_ID 1650
