Hydrogeological Landscapes for the Eastern Murray Catchment: May 2015 (Second Edition)

*Update: Data package containing HGL shapefile added to resources on 16 March 2022.
The Hydrogeological Landscape (HGL) concept provides a structure for the understanding of how salinity manifests itself in the landscape and how differences in salinity are expressed across the landscape. A HGL spatially defines areas of similar salt stores and pathways for salt mobilisation. The process of HGL determination relies on the integration of a number of factors: geology, soils, slope, regolith depth, and climate; an understanding of the differences in salinity development; and the impacts (land salinity/salt load/water electrical conductivity) in landscapes. Information sources such as soils maps, site characterisation, salinity site mapping, hydrogeological conditions and surface and groundwater data are combined to develop standard templates for each HGL. The focus of this dataset is the Eastern Murray study area upstream of Corowa. It comprises introductory information on HGLs; HGL templates; and maps and digital spatial data developed for the project, including derivative maps to assist in land management decision making in the Eastern Murray study area. This includes information on salinity management from the perspectives of land use design, scales and types of management, landscape function, management strategies, actions and outcomes, as well as land use to be avoided. This second edition of the dataset incorporates minor edits made to ensure dataset is compatible with eSPADE, and includes the published version of the Eastern Murray HGL report.
Spatial resolution for this product is 1:250 000.

Growth Centre Sydney Existing Native Vegetation ENV2011 x 2007 Protected Land. VIS_ID 4116

One of the key conditions of the biodiversity certification of the State Environmental Planning Policy (Sydney Region Growth Centres) 2006 is that 2,000 hectares of existing native vegetation (ENV) is protected in the North West and South West Growth Centres. The Growth Centres ENV is referenced in the definition for ENV in the biodiversity certification relevant biodiversity measures and is used in the planning for development in the North West and South Growth Centres. Monitoring of clearing of ENV is undertaken annually by the Department of Planning and Infrastructure. The layers are updated each year based on analysis of annually captured imagery which indicates vegetation clearing that has occurred. VIS_ID 4116

Historic Woody Vegetation Mapping of the NSW Wheat-belt VIS_ID 1602

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.

Multi Attribute Data - Bellinger 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.

NSW Environment Protection Authority Post-Flood River Surveys 2022-23

Hydrographic data (multibeam or singlebeam) and estuary-river bed imagery (side-scan) collected to identify river-bed hazards in targeted sections of 13 New South Wales (NSW) coastal rivers/estuaries following significant 2021-22 flood events for the state's Environment Protection Authority. Surveys were completed under contract by two commercial survey companies Hydrographic &amp; Cadastral Survey (H&amp;C) and SandMap, during 2022-23 as primarily target detection with hydrographic depth determination for safety of navigation, a secondary requirement. SandMap surveys covered sections of the Bellinger-Kalang, Clarence, Nambucca, Richmond, Tweed and Wilson rivers. H&amp;C Survey surveys covered sections of Woronora, Shoalhaven, Camden Haven, Hastings, Macleay, Manning and Hawkesbury rivers. Surveys were completed to identify the location of potential in-river navigational hazards and/or potential sources of environmental harm or pollution following significant flood events within NSW 2021 and 2022. Although the vertical and horizontal precision and accuracy is expected to be high, the user should understand how the data are collected and the horizontal and vertical uncertainties inherent in the data and products (see reports). The data provided here are deemed 'Not for Navigation'. Funding was provided under the joint Commonwealth-State Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements for the flood recovery program and survey contracts were awarded following a tender process. Final data packages, output products and survey reports were provided by end of the financial year 2022-23 and have been backed up on DPE Environment and Heritage groups Science Data Compute facility.

SLATS LANDSAT Woody Vegetation Change - NSW 1988 - 2010

This dataset was derived from the primary "SLATS Landsat woody change data (25m) for 1988 - 2010" raster (grid) layers used to generate the annualised woody vegetation change rates for the 2010 NSW Annual Report of Native Vegetation.(http://www.environment.nsw.gov.au/vegetation/reports.htm);
;
This data describes the areas and type of woody vegetation change (loss) based on the analysis of multi-date Landsat imagery covering NSW. This data is based on a biennial LANDSAT coverage between 1988-2006 and annual coverage 2006-2010. LANDSAT Imagery 1988-2008 was processed by Geosciences Australia at 25m resolution. 2008 onwards is based on USGS processed LANDSAT at 30m resolution.;
;
Note, this vector data may generate slightly different aerial statistics to those generated from the source raster data. This is due to variation caused by the data transformation and vector cleaning processes applied in generating the vector data.
Remotely sensed imagery is routinely collected by DPE and used to map vegetation clearing. This data is spatially explicit and can be used with other datasets to identify activity on individual lots. Please read the privacy collection notice for more information.

Assessment of Coastal Saltmarsh TEC on NSW Crown Forest Estate

The operational map for Coastal Saltmarsh was constructed to resolve long-standing issues surrounding its identification, location and extent within the NSW State Forest estate covered by the eastern Regional Forest Agreements. The project’s Threatened Ecological Community Reference Panel (the Panel) reviewed the determination for Coastal Saltmarsh and agreed upon a set of diagnostic parameters for its identification. 
We identified that any treeless saline and sub saline native vegetation found in the intertidal zone had the potential to be Coastal Saltmarsh. We estimated the extent of the intertidal zone by using a fine scale digital elevation model to determine the highest astronomical tideline (HAT). We then mapped potential Coastal Saltmarsh by analysing recent fine scale three dimensional aerial imagery to identify any native vegetation that comprised of low-growing treeless communities and was located within the HAT and on the landward side of mangroves. Mapping criteria used a tree cover tolerance of up to 30% to include areas that had a mixed cover of mangrove, paperbark or casuarina species with a saltmarsh understorey. Exposed mudflats and banks were also mapped when they were visible.
Our mapping covered 1.4 million hectares of State Forest within the south, central and north coast regions of NSW. We identified a total of 111.9 hectares of Coastal Saltmarsh within 14 State Forests along the east coast. The most extensive areas are located in Bermagui and Mogo State Forests on the south coast and in Wallaroo State Forests on the north coast. 
We validated our map of coastal saltmarsh using an existing independent map of estuarine habitats (Creese et al 2009). Our mapping consistently identified almost twice as much coastal saltmarsh as Creese et al (2009), but this was attributable to differences in the mapping criteria rather than any error.
Operational TEC Mapping have been derived by API at a viewing scale between 1-4000 using ADS40 50 cm pixel imagery and 1 m derived LIDAR DEM grids for floodplain EECs.
