NSW Estuary Water Quality Compilation 2007-2020

Export DataAccess APIMetadata Portal Metadata InformationContent TitleNSW Estuary Water Quality Compilation 2007-2020Content TypeHosted Feature LayerDescriptionEstuary water quality data has been collected by the Estuaries and 
Catchment Team of the Strategic Policy, Science and Engagement Group in 
the Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water 
since 2007. Data has been collected using standard monitoring protocol 
outlined in 'Assessing estuary ecosystem health: Sampling, data analysis
 and reporting protocols. NSW Natural Resources Monitoring, Evaluation 
and Reporting Program', most recently updated in 2016 and available on 
the NSW environment website. The data has been used&nbsp; to monitor the 
aquatic ecosystem condition of over 160 estuaries in NSW over time. 
Adopting the principles of the National Water Quality Framework, the
 data has been used to develop NSW specific guideline values for a range
 of physico-chemical water quality indicators for each estuary type. 
This allows comparison of observed data to these guidelines to assess 
condition of any estuary in NSW. As part of the Marine Estate Management
 Strategy Implementation Plan Stage 1, a NSW water quality database has 
been developed, where this data is now stored. Water quality monitoring 
in NSW estuaries is ongoing, and updated data will be made available 
routinely.Initial Publication Date05/05/2025Data Currency25/08/2020Data Update FrequencyOtherContent SourceWebsite URLFile TypeCSV (*.csv)AttributionNSW Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water

NSW estuary health risk dataset

The NSW Estuary Health Risk Dataset was created to support Stage 1 of preparing Coastal Management Programs under the NSW Coastal Management Manual (2018). The dataset identifies land-use pressures and consequent risks of impacts on the ecological health of estuaries. Risks associated with other pressures, such as acid sulfate soils, erosion and contaminants, are not captured. The dataset can be used to spatially prioritise where further studies and/or management actions in the catchment would contribute to achieving outcomes, specific to the management objectives for Coastal Environment Areas, and Coastal Wetlands and Littoral Rainforests Areas which are specified in the Coastal Management Act 2016. The dataset includes two shapefiles and one raster file for each estuary and its associated catchment in NSW. It is recommended that all files be reviewed to help set the context for the estuary health risk. A data report describing how the dataset was created and how it should be used is available here: https://www.environment.nsw.gov.au/research-and-publications/publications-search/nsw-estuary-health-risk-dataset. 
To access the dataset, you may contact the Data Broker and request the Estuary Health Risk dataset for your estuary. Appendix B of the data report provides a list of data available. Alternatively, you may download the dataset for all estuaries located in the ‘Dataset Packages’ drop down below.

General Purpose Water Accounting Reports - Murrumbidgee 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.

Giant Dragonfly

The giant dragonfly (Petalura gigantea) eDNA dataset comprises positive detections obtained from swamps across New South Wales (NSW), Australia. Records are reported at the swamp scale (whole swamp identified as potential habitat) rather than at precise sampling locations, to protect sensitive habitats. Only positive results are included, as negative results may reflect detection limits rather than true absence.
The project was jointly funded by NSW DCCEEW Surface Water Science (assay development) and the Conservation Programs, Heritage and Regulations (CPHR) (testing). Further details of the eDNA assay development and methodology are described in Cairns et al. (2025) https://doi.org/10.1002/eco.70013. Swamp mapping used in this dataset is derived from Fryirs et al. (2019) https://doi.org/10.1080/00049182.2018.1449710

Historic Woody Vegetation Mapping of the NSW Wheat-belt VIS_ID 1606

The vegetation of the Central Division of NSW was classified and mapped (Cobar-Nyngan-Gilgandra), Nymagee-Narromine-Dubbo 1:250 000 map sheets) as part of the NSW NPWS wheat-belt mapping series. The vegetation classification was derived using traditional API and quantitative analysis of data from 428 field sites. Analyses included heirarchical classification in PATN to define floristic groups, then Fidel and ANOSIM to elucidate the characteristic species of the groups and explore the consistency of these relationships and various levels of similarity. Maps and descriptions show the floristic composition and structure, the geographic distribution of assemblages, the current extent, and shape and degree of connectivity of vegetation and changes in native woody vegetation cover over time.

HEVAE Vegetation Groundwater Dependent Ecosystems Value - Lachlan

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).

Lachlan Valley National Park and State Conservation Area (Kalyarr)vegetation map, 2013. VIS_ID 4208

Vegetation of Lachlan Valley NP &amp; SCA (Kalyarr) - Norwood, Darcoola and Thelangerin precincts.
The native vegetation of Lachlan Valley NP &amp; SCA (Kalyarr) - Norwood, Darcoola and Thelangerin precincts (Porteners, 2013) was commissioned by National Parks and Wildlife Service, South West Area, to provide a map and report describing the native vegetation interpreted for conservation reserve management.
The existing 'Native Vegetation (Multi Attribute) - Hay 7828'dataset (Horner et al. 2002) was used as the basis for mapping. The native vegetation for the Hay 7828 1:100,000 scale map sheetwascaptured as part of the Native Vegetation Mapping Program (NVMP)(ANZLIC unique identifier: ANZNS0359100124; VIS_ID 899). In that projec, native vegetation was delineated and each polygon described by ten attributes, based on the interpretation of 1:50 000 scale colour aerial photography and supplemented by geo-rectified Landsat TM false colour satellite imagery. A complementary botanical survey was undertaken in order to improve the accuracy of the dataset, determine if any corrections were necessary and assist in defining a final native vegetation community for each polygon.
The Hay NVMP map was ground-truthed and reattributed by Marianne Porteners. To assist with reattribution and provide a local-scale stratification, twenty-four quadrat-based sites were sampled for full floristics, supplementing existing data from 76 sites inthe VIS Flora Survey module (11 sites sampledwithin the study area and 65 regional sites relevant to the study area).Analysis was undertaken to determine if vegetation in the study area fitted within the existing NSW Master Plant Community Type (PCT) Classification, or if new vegetation types needed to be created. Fourteen communitiesare described that align directly to the PCT classification.
More recent high-resolution aerial photography (ADS40 One Tree 1:100,000 mapsheet captured January 2012) was used to identify possible discrepancies in the draft map prior to field survey. The remainder of the study area is covered by 1:50,000 scale stereo aerial photography captured in 2003, which was also used to check vegetation boundaries. VIS_ID 4208
