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.

Vegetation of Winburndale Nature Reserve. VIS_ID 1018

Vegetation map of Winburndale Nature Reserve.
Vegetation descriptions from Boden,R. and Mitchell,L(1996)
The NSW NPWS commissioned vegetation surveys of Winburndale NR and Nangar, Conimbla and Weddin Mountains NPs, as the first stage in preparing fire management plans. Key project tasks were literature review to compile an annotated bibliography, and vegetation surveys to describe communities, their floristic composition and conservation status.
Mapping produced by Boden &amp; Mitchell was deemed insufficient for reserve management needs. Subsequently, more detailed mapping (this dataset) was undertaken by Roger Lembit under contract to NPWS Bathurst District office in 1997.

2019/2020 Bushfire and Water Quality Project: Impact of temperatures on soil leachability

This soil burn and leachate data set was prepared to assess the impact of fire on soil leachability and potential ecological risks. Soils representative of major geological types, unaffected by fires, were collected from nine locations along the east coast of NSW: consisting of three sedimentary soil types: Cumberland State Forest, Lake Parramatta and Hat Head, two metamorphic soil types: Port Macquarie and  Yarriabini National Park, three igneous soil types: Bellmore Falls (Budderoo), Robertson National Park and Middle Brother National Park, and one coastal plains organic soil: Crescent Head/Bellmore Swamp. The soils were characterised for metal and nutrient (N, P) levels and analysed using X-ray diffractometry (XRD) to determine their mineralogical composition. The soils were then subjected to a simulated fire impact experiment, where they were treated at temperatures of 200 °C (low-moderate severity), 500 °C (high severity), and 850 °C (extreme severity) for 30 minutes, along with an untreated control (unburnt). After cooling, the soils were leached using a modified version of the Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP) as outlined in the USEPA SW-846 Test Method 1311 in freshwater. Dissolved metals, total nutrients, and dissolved nutrients were sampled and analysed in the leachates. This data fed into a leachate assessment and a preliminary aquatic ecological risk assessment, with a report to be released soon. The data presented in this spreadsheet is:
•   initial characterisation data set for each soil including metals, nutrients organic matter and moisture content.
•   XRD data for the soils in unburnt, 200 °C and 850 °C treatments.
•   Leachate data for total nutrients, dissolved nutrients and dissolved metals.

High Ecological Value Waterways and Water Dependent Ecosystems - SOUTH COAST Catchments of NSW

This dataset identifies high ecological value waterways and water dependent ecosystems for the South Coast of NSW, covering 89 coastal catchments. The purpose of the dataset is to identify strategic priorities for protecting and improving the health of high value waterways and water dependent ecosystems in the catchment.
The map shows areas where waterways and water dependent ecosystems are defined as high ecological value, based on the definitions, guidelines and policies under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999, Biodiversity Conservation Act 2016, Fisheries Management Act 1994 and/or Water Management Act 2000.
The water dependent ecosystems consist of wetlands, and flora and fauna that rely on water sources (including groundwater). The dataset does not include vegetation communities dependent on surface waters. The dataset integrates 28 data layers/indicators being used by the State Government to define high value and 22 indicators are present in this region (see Attachment 1: Datasets describing high value waterways and water dependent ecosystems in the South Coast, NSW). 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 dataset was created by initially placing a 1-hectare hexagon grid over the relevant boundary area and attributing the grid with either ‘Absent’ or ‘Present’.  This represents an occurrence only of high value water dependent ecosystems layers within the hexagon grid.  The ‘HEVlyr’ field provides a count of the number of layers within the hexagon.  A value of zero (0) represents Absent, values of greater and equal to one (1) represents the Presence of high ecological value assets.  The values DONOT indicate the significance of the area, i.e., a value of 1 is no less significant to a higher value.  Where layers are Present, please contact data steward for details relating to the underpinning datasets.

Successional Stages on Freehold Land for CRA Lower North East NSW. VIS_ID 3888

This data layer shows the distribution of Candidate Old Growth forest and other Successional Stages on Freehold Land for Lower North East New South Wales as required by the Regional Forest Agreements (RFA). An expert panel convened by the NSW Environmental Heritage and Technical Committee (EHTC) in 1997 developed a process for the identification and derivation of the following Successional Stages:;
;
Candidate Old Growth ;
Disturbed Old Growth ;
Mature Forest;
Disturbed Mature Forest;
Young Forest;
Recently Disturbed Forest;
Rainforest.;
;
This data layer is an update of the original Successional Stages layer produced during the U/LNE Comprehensive Regional Assessment (CRA) process in 1998. The Comprehensive Regional Assessment Aerial Photographic Interpretation (CRAFTI) data were crucial for Successional Stage derivation, however they were not completed in time for derivation on freehold land in Upper North East (floristics) and all tenures in Lower North East (structure and floristics). The U/LNE Forest Agreements stipulate that data on freehold land will be updated when CRAFTI data become available. With the finalisation of the digital CRAFTI layer in September 2000, Successional Stages could be derived across freehold lands. ;
;
The same methodology for deriving the original Successional Stages layer during the CRA (RACD 1999a) was used for this process. Distribution of Candidate Old Growth forest and other Successional Stages were derived by integrating structural maturity classes from 1:25,000 scale Aerial Photographic Interpretation (API), interpretability classes derived from vegetation mapping units, and disturbance history from CRAFTI and State Forests New South Wales (SFNSW) records. The rainforest component is an amalgamation of mapped data from SFNSW Forest Typing (Forestry Commission of NSW 1989) and CRAFTI taken from the Forest Ecosystems layer (RACD 1999b).;
;
RFA projects dependent on the completion of the Successional Stages layer include fauna and flora habitat remodelling and derivation of old growth forest ecosystems on freehold land. The data will also be of use to the Department of Land and Water Conservation and Regional Vegetation Committees in land management decisions.;

Biodiversity Conservation Lands 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:

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 proformas.
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.

Regional Water Strategy Areas

Export DataRegional Water Strategy (RWS) areas define the boundaries of regions in NSW for which regional water strategies are prepared. RWS boundaries are used define the region for which an individual regional water strategy is developed. Regional water strategies will set out a long-term 'roadmap' of actions to deliver five objectives. Options selected for inclusion in the final strategy for each region will need to address at least one of these objectives: Deliver and manage water for local communities, Enable economic prosperity, Recognise and protect Aboriginal cultural values and rights, Protect and enhance the environment, Affordability - Identify least cost policy and infrastructure options. The RWS boundaries are derived from Water Resource Plan (WRP) boundaries for the inland areas. The coastal areas are aligned with the Water Sharing Plan (WSP) boundaries. The Murray RWS boundary is further defined using the Geoscience Australia's geofabric data HR Regions layer. The Murray RWS also needs to include the area for the Wentworth weir pool using the AGHF Catchment layer in the geofabric to select the catchments that incorporate the Wentworth Weir pool.Previous SEED service moved from 10.7 to 11. 1 Portal.

Monitoring, Evaluation and Reporting Soil Condition (Salinity) Report Card Scores - Summary (4 March 2009)

This dataset contains a summary of the derived salinity condition scores generated for the Soil Condition theme of the NSW Monitoring, Evaluation &amp; Reporting (MER) program. It also gives details of trends, data sources and confidence.
The 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 condition trends for each SMU being considered.
