Maitland LGA Community Emissions Profile - Snapshot

# Snapshot Climate Communities and councils have a strong and proud history of leading climate action. [Snapshot Climate’s] emissions profiles support decision makers to reduce emissions at the speed and scale required. Snapshot data uses a common framework to allow for comparison between regions and all the local profiles add up to the national emissions total, meaning that no emissions go unaccounted for. Snapshot is available as a free resource for councils and communities.
Maitland Native Vegetation Mapping 2021

Existing native vegetation mapping covering the Maitland Local Government Area (Umwelt, 2009; following Hill, 2003) was updated by NGH in 2021 using an aerial photograph interpretation approach using the most recently acquired, Council supplied imagery from 2020 and 2021. Using a systematic 1km x 1km grid, mapped vegetation was reviewed against the underlying high spatial resolution imagery at a scale of 1:10,000. Based on this review one of two responses were made to update the data: - removal of polygons or parts thereof in response to vegetation loss (603 ha removed) - addition of polygons in response to previously unmapped vegetation or emergence of new regrowth (832 ha added). An assessment and classification of vegetation condition was also completed using on-screen visual appraisal of newly mapped vegetation, ground truthed by Council, and the development and application of vegetation condition classification which was applied to the entire mapped vegetation layer.
Ausgrid Community Electricity Data 2014 to 2022

Ausgrid is providing the following data on electricity consumption within Maitland local government areas (LGA). Average electricity consumption by geographic area can vary significantly due to a number of factors. These include differences in climate, the use of natural gas, the type of housing (house or apartment), type of business (commercial or industrial), and varying household socio-demographics or business types. This data does not include high voltage customers and supply to services such as public lighting and bus shelters. Data also include associated Greenhouse Gas emission Scope 2 and Scope 3, in tonnes of CO2 equivalent.
Maitland Urban Heat Study

### This dataset holds results from an urban heat study conducted in Maitland LGA using data collect from the summer of 2019/20 and Australian Bureau of Statistics 2016 dataset. Maitland City Council undertook this urban heat mapping project to identify priority suburbs within the LGA to inform targeted initiatives to mitigate the heat island effect. ### ### Data is aggregated by the ABS to the area of a Statistical Area Level 2 (SA2) for the following variables: * Land surface temperatures (LST) for summer 2019 * Normalised Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) * Heat Vulnerability Scores (5 is most vulnerable)

Backyard Bird Count Species

This dataset consolidates the results from 2021 to 2024 Aussie Bird Count for the Maitland LGA. Data is collected through community participation in the Bird Count and put together by Bird Life Australia. Threat Status and Migratory Status have been added to the dataset using the EPBC Listing and NSW state listing for provided species names.

Maitland Urban Heat Hotspots

This dataset holds results from an urban heat study conducted in Maitland LGA using data collect from the summer of 2019/20 and Australian Bureau of Statistics 2016 dataset. Maitland City Council undertook this urban heat mapping project to identify priority suburbs within the LGA to inform targeted initiatives to mitigate the heat island effect. For the purposes of this study, hot spots were defined as Local surface temperatures (LST) greater than the mean LST within the urban zone. Each hotspot was categorised by the associated land use of the area.
Revegetation Rapid Reports 2021

In 2002, Maitland City Council adopted the Greening Plan, a strategy developed to address widespread land degradation, loss of biodiversity and habitat through the protection of remnant vegetation, habitat enhancement and community-based revegetation programs. Over 85 hectares have been revegetated on both public and private land since the plan was adopted. Maitland City Council has recently audited three sites revegetated as part of the Greening Plan using a Rapid Assessment methodology. This assessment provides a baseline to evaluate the success of revegetation efforts and identify future work necessary to maintain and improve the integrity of the vegetation present. Information in this dataset can be visualised on the [Greening Plan Report Card]
