The NSW Urban Vegetation Cover to Modified Mesh Block 2016 provides both an area and percentage of vegetation for city blocks and infrastructure corridors in the Sydney Greater Metropolitan Area as of 2016. With this dataset, users can estimate tree canopy and vegetation cover in urban areas at many scales, such as mesh block, precinct, or local government area. Having current and accurate estimates of tree canopy and vegetation like this supports citizens and governments to reliably identify areas of tree canopy and confidently develop urban greening and heat island mitigation strategies and action. This dataset provides the user with information of high spatial accuracy. The dataset uses vegetation information derived from high resolution aerial photography combined with boundary and land use information from the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) Mesh Block polygon dataset augmented with road and railroad data from the NSW Digital Cadastral Database. The content was co-designed with state and local governments and developed using scientifically-rigorous methodologies. The extent of the dataset covers urban, major urban, peri-urban and other urban areas within the Sydney Greater Metropolitan. While the dataset provides wall to wall coverage of many councils, it does not include far outlying rural areas in local government areas with a largely rural component.

The Greater Sydney Region Tree Canopy to Modified Mesh Block 2019 provides both an area and percentage of canopy for city blocks and infrastructure corridors in the Greater Sydney Region as of 2019. With this dataset users can estimate tree canopy for many geographic areas (map scales), from larger local government area and precincts down to mesh block (ABS) and modified mesh block (smallest scale). Having current and accurate estimates of tree canopy supports citizens and governments to reliably identify areas of tree canopy and confidently develop urban greening and heat island mitigation strategies and actions. This dataset provides the user with information at a known spatial accuracy. The dataset uses vegetation information derived from 2m resolution Geoscape © [Surface Features](https://geoscape.com.au/data/surface-features/) data (commercial product) combined with boundary and land use information from the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) Mesh Block polygon dataset. Mesh Block data is augmented with boundaries (road, rail, property & water) from the NSW Digital Cadastral Database and NSW Land Zoning to produce modified mesh block boundaries the ABS Mesh Blocks. The modified mesh block are designed to assist the planning of tree planting based on land use. The work was undertaken to support the NSW Government Greener City Program and 2021 [Government Priority of One Million trees project.](https://www.nsw.gov.au/premiers-priorities/greening-our-city)

This dataset categorises the 2020 native vegetation extent mapping by the conservation priority of vegetation complexes in the Perth and Peel Region Schemes areas, considering the potential retention and protection status of vegetation complexes. The potential retention is based on vegetation complex extent by land use categories in the Metropolitan Region Scheme and the Peel Region Scheme as in 2016.

This dataset categorises the 2020 native vegetation extent mapping by vegetation complexes for the Swan Coastal Plain and the South West Forest Region of Western Australia.

This dataset categorises the 2020 native vegetation extent mapping by the number of agreed ecological criteria. The set of criteria were developed through the Regional Framework for Local Biodiversity Conservation Priorities for Perth and Peel project, delivered via WALGA’s Perth Biodiversity Project in 2012. The prioritisation criteria builds on State Government endorsed local biodiversity conservation planning methodology adopted by Local Governments preparing Local Biodiversity Strategies in Perth and its surrounds.

Tree canopy within City of Melbourne mapped using 2014 aerial photos and LiDAR. The canopy polygons represent actual tree canopy extents on both private and public property across the city.

This dataset categorises the 2020 native vegetation extent mapping by pre-European state-wide vegetation mapping of Western Australia.

Remnant vegetation mapping for the Swan Coastal Plain bioregion, Metropolitan and Peel Region Scheme areas in 2015. Part of a suite of polygon datasets that best represent remnants of original pre-1750 vegetation across the mapped areas as at 2000, 2005, 2010, 2015, 2020 and 2024. The polygons represent interpreted areas of vegetation using current and historical digital aerial photography (1953-present) sourced from State Government repositories and other commercial products e.g. Digital globe, ESRI wayback imagery and Google. Simplified condition of the vegetation has been attributed to some polygons. The mapped area covers the Metropolitan and Peel Region Schemes, the Swan Coastal Plain bioregion as defined in the Interim Biogeographic Regionalisation of Australia V 7.1 (Commonwealth of Australia, 2025) and the Swan Coastal Plain vegetation complexes (DBCA-046) (Department of Parks and Wildlife, 2016).
