Historical Fire Extent and Severity Mapping (FESM) - Royal-Heathcote Region

Fire severity is a metric of the loss of biomass caused by fire. In collaboration with the NSW Rural Fire Service, DPE Remote Sensing &amp; Regulatory Mapping team has developed a semi-automated approach to mapping fire extent and severity through a machine learning framework based on satellite imagery. 
The method uses standardised classes to allow comparison of different fires across the landscape. The FESM severity classes include: unburnt, low severity (burnt understory, unburnt canopy), moderate severity (partial canopy scorch), high severity (complete canopy scorch, partial canopy consumption), extreme (full canopy consumption). 
Here we provide historical severity mapping for the Royal-Heathcote region from 1989/90 to 2015/16, which is based on Landsat satellite imagery. From 2016/17 to the current fire year, this region is covered in the statewide FESM data, which is based on Sentinel 2 satellite imagery.

Sydney Road Segment 3D May 2024

Access APIMetadata Portal Metadata InformationContent TitleSydney Road Segment 3D May 2024Content TypeScene Layer/Scene Layer PackageDescriptionNSW Transport Theme Road Segment is a line feature class representing a section of road having common attributes and terminating at its physical and or at an intersection with another road at the same grade (same level). Its position is determined by the methodology used to input into the Topographic Database. Common methods of input include GPS, traced from the cadastre or traced from an orthorectified image.Data included in Road Segments includes:Vehicular TrackPathwayContinuity LineStandard Road&nbsp;On-off RampDual CarriagewayInitial Publication Date01/05/2024Data Currency01/05/2024Data Update FrequencyOtherContent SourceData provider filesFile TypeScene Layer Package (*.slpk)AttributionData Theme, Classification or Relationship to other DatasetsTransport Theme of the NSW Foundation Spatial Data FrameworkAccuracyThe dataset maintains a positional relationship to, and alignment with, the Lot and Property digital datasets. 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.

Persistence of ecosystems 2024 data package

This is the data package for the persistence of ecosystems indicator, supporting the reports NSW biodiversity outlook report 2024 and Persistence of ecosystems: Report card supplementing the NSW biodiversity outlook report 2024. This data package provides underlying data for the indicator persistence of ecosystems (vascular plants), reporting on results for 2007, 2013, 2017 and 2020.
This data package is a snapshot of the data used to calculate indicators as reported in the NSW biodiversity outlook report 2024 and supporting report cards.
Persistence of ecosystems indicator
The persistence of ecosystems indicator reports the percentage of original ecosystem diversity that is likely to persist into the future. Ecosystem diversity is lost due to declining ecological condition and ongoing habitat fragmentation. A modelled distribution of vascular plant ecosystems that originally occurred across the state is assessed against habitat remaining.
NSW Biodiversity Indicator Program
The Biodiversity Indicator Program reports on the state and trends over time of biodiversity and ecological integrity in New South Wales. The program was established by the Biodiversity Conservation Act 2016. We have developed a framework of indicators to help scientists, managers and policy-makers understand the current state of biodiversity, how it has changed from the past, and how it is likely to change in the future. 
NSW biodiversity outlook report
The NSW biodiversity outlook report is a summary of the state of biodiversity and ecological integrity in New South Wales. It is based on rigorous science and has been peer reviewed by recognised experts. New reports are published from time to time as data become available and are analysed. Each report covers the set of indicators from the framework that have been developed and are ready for publication at that time.
Report cards
Report cards are stand-alone documents that provide more detailed indicator results and commentary than the biodiversity outlook report.
Implementation reports
Implementation reports describe in technical detail how indicators are calculated. In combination with the corresponding data package, indicator results can be replicated by anyone with sufficient technical expertise.
Data packages
Each data package consists of tabular results and raw output such as spatial layers. Data packages provide supporting information for the NSW biodiversity outlook report and associated report cards. Data packages reflect results as presented in their corresponding report card and outlook report, creating an archive of the indicator results at the time of analysis.

Brindingabba National Park Vegetation 2023.  VIS ID 5125

AREA Environmental &amp; Heritage Consultants (AREA) were engaged by NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) in 2023 to conduct a vegetation survey on Brindingabba National Park to inform the production of a Plant Community Type (PCT) map of the park and produce a report detailing the methodologies used to complete the PCT map. 
The rural property Brindingabba-Bindra Station located approximately 150km north of Bourke and covering approximately 33,000 hectares was added to the NSW national parks estate in late 2021.  Brindingabba National Park is located in the Mulga Lands Interim Biogeographic Regionalisation for Australia (IBRA) Bioregion. The Park’s most southern boundary is approximately 2.5 kilometres north of the Cuttaburra Creek. The Cuttaburra Creek floodplain extends into the park.
More information is included in the report:

Threatened Ecological Communities - Illawarra, Shoalhaven and Southern Highlands Region

Map of seven NSW listed Threatened Ecological Communties (TECs) within Illawarra, Shoalhaven and Southern Highlands. This dataset includes a subset of Serious and Irreversible Impact TECS including Robertson Basalt Tall Open Forest, Southern Highlands Shale Woodland, Mount Gibraltar Forest, Robertson Rainforest, Tableland Basalt Forest, Illawarra Lowlands Grassy Woodland and Melaleuca armillaris Tall Open Shrubland. The map is a compilation of three separate map products including "Melaleuca armillaris Tall Shrubland TEC condition mapping 2021", "Southern Highlands and Threatened Ecological Communities: Cross Tenure Operational Maps" and "Fine scale mapping of the threatened ecological community: Illawarra Lowlands Grassy Woodland in the Sydney Basin Bioregion".
This dataset only includes TECs that have been mapped to date. Limitations of this map include:
not all SAII TECS within the defined area are included, (eg. Coastal Upland Swamps, Milton Ulladulla Rainforest, Illawarra Subtropical Rainforest and Shale Sandstone Transition Forest have not been mapped); some TECs are not completely mapped (eg. Tableland Basalt Forest); areas not identified as TEC may be TEC; areas identified as TEC may not be TEC; and areas identified as a TEC may be a different TEC. 
Accordingly, property scale assessments should inform activities, plans and proposals at the property scale.
Mapping is updated frequently via expert input. The map data informs the Biodiversity Values Map, Native Vegetation Regulatory Map and Rural Fire Service tools. We attempt to update the map to be consistent with other Regulatory Maps, however if there is inconsistency between this map and the Biodiversity Values Map, you can request a review: https://www.environment.nsw.gov.au/topics/animals-and-plants/biodiversity-offsets-scheme/clear-and-develop-land/biodiversity-values-map-and-threshold-tool/category-reports-and-map-review.

NSW Native vegetation report Cobbora, Coolah, Coonabarabran, Mendooran, Tambar Springs 1: 100 000 map sheets VIS_ID 2103

Native vegetation is described and mapped for the Cobbora, Coolah, Coonabarabran, Mendooran and Tambar Springs 1: 100 000 map sheets. Vegetation patterns were recognised and delineated spatially using air photo interpretation (1:50,000 scale). Satellite imagery was used to geo-reference the API. A consistent provisional vegetation code was assigned to each unique vegetation pattern. Comprehensive floristic data was collected for 547 plots using a random stratified sampling procedure.  A proportional sampling regime was applied to the stratification and plots randomly located within stratification units independent of land tenure. An additional mask layer was applied to distinguish between 'woody' and 'non-woody' vegetation to target survey effort toward wooded communities.
Plot data was classified into 44 woody floristic groups using PATN. Additional analysis techniques included fidelity, homogeneity, nearest neighbour and indicator species analysis. Floristic groups are defined using structural dominance, diagnostic/indicator species and character species data. The provisional vegetation pattern codes from aerial photo interpretation were interrogated with respect to floristic groups to produce the map units. A generalised, additive model was used to investigate patterns in ironbark/redgum/pine assemblages in the south of the study area, where direct relationships between spatial and floristic data were unclear.
A total of 24 woody map units were developed to represent woody assemblages and three map units spatially depict non-woody areas, non-native areas and regenerating vegetation (at time of mapping). These map units are described with respect to structure, floristic composition and landform unit on the accompanying five maps. Mapping of the non-woody environment was limited to recognising 'candidate' native non-woody vegetation. (VIS_ID 2103)

Fire Heterogeneity Index (FHI) 2014/15

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.

Native vegetation extant in Central West Catchments. VIS_ID 3844

This layer represents an attempt to use existing layers masked by a landuse layer  to represent the  native vegetation that, as of 2006, occured across the administration areas of the Central West Catchment Management Authority (CMA). It has been constructed using existing mapping from diverse sources that has been standardised to broad vegetation groups (BVTs) and merged.  The merged layer was then used, with an associated abiotic layer, to "predict" the vegetation in areas where native vegetation was shown not to occur.  This reconstructed layer was then masked by certain attributes from a landuse layer to give the 2006 extent of the BVTs.
