This layer provides a spatial representation of freshwater ecosystem values that are key values in each reserve in the National Reserve System in Tasmania. Rivers, wetlands and waterbodies are included in this metadata statement.

This dataset is a polygon representation of the significance of the vegetation communities within the coastal strip of the Northern and Southern National Resource Management (NRM) Regions of Tasmania. It has been developed as a management tool and is derived from the Vegetation layer. Each polygon represents a the significance of a single vegetation community based on the conservation status of that community. Vegetation communities were identified to a 1ha resolution or to 0.25ha where a threatened vegetation community was suspected. This dataset is part of the NRM Coastal Values Project. The Project maps vegetation, fauna habitat and geomorphology from High Water mark to 100 metres inland for part of the coastline of the Southern and Northern NRM Regions of Tasmania. The purpose of the coastal values mapping is to provide an easily accessible database on vegetation and geomorphology to support better strategic planning, land use planning and management on the coast.

The location of significant weed occurrences identified for priority management or monitoring as depicted in the PWS Asset Management System (AMS) and considered an environmental threat. The majority of weeds also have a status of "declared" under the Tasmanian Weed Management Act 1999. Weed locations are on reserved and crown land. Weeds have also been captured on some private properties that are adjacent to the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area (TWWHA) and were party to the TWWHA Neighborhood Program (2016). These weeds are considered a potential environmental threat to the TWWHA if they spread. The on-going treatment or monitoring of weeds is recorded using a grid transect over affected areas. This treatment information is stored in another layer, Weed Control (PWS).

The indicative spatial distribution of these threatened ecological communities is based on geospatial mapping units (such as local and regional scale vegetation mapping) that best represent the species assemblage and area in nature that defines these ecological communities as described in the relevant Conservation Advice. These distributions should be considered as indicative rather than a definitive assessment of presence or absence of these ecological communities within a given area of interest. They are not intended for use at a local or regional scale and should not be used for absolute area calculations. They represent a starting point for further investigation rather than the outcome of a comprehensive scientific assessment. Ground truthing is required to verify if a particular site meets the diagnostic characteristics and minimum condition thresholds to be the described ecological community.The generalised ECNES data product consists of GIS data in a vector format within a file geodatabase or shapefile. Indicative presence rank information has been coded as:1 – Community may occur within area2 - Community likely to occur within areaThese presence rank categories aim to capture: 1). the specific geospatial mapping units that best represent the species assemblage and area in nature that defines the ecological community as described in the relevant Conservation Advice (likely to occur).2). the broad environmental envelope or geographic region that encompasses all areas that could provide habitat for the ecological community (may occur).Please note: you will need to download the full data product with all threatened ecological community distributions and then query this data in your own GIS or Database system to find a specific ecological community (using the COMMUNITY name field)Field descriptions:COM_ID = Community identification number in Species Profile and Threats Database (SPRAT).COMMUNITY = Community name as listed under the EPBC Act.EPBC = EPBC Act listed threatened status (critically endangered, endangered, vulnerable).PRES_RANK = Presence rank code to indicate community presence (2 - likely to occur, 1 - may occur).CATEGORY = Description of the presence rank code.EXTRACTED = The date the spatial data and status was extracted from SPRAT.CELL_SIZE = Spatial data resolution – 0.001 degree (approximately 100m) or 0.01 degree (approximately 1km).REGIONS = Indicative region of occurrence based on data sensitivities and applied resolution.CITATION = Citation for data use: Ecological Communities of National Environmental Significance database () Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water, Canberra.

Non Threatened flora data derived from the Natural Values Atlas consisting primarily of point locations (Eastings and Northings) and associated attributes for non threatened flora in Tasmania. The original NVA data set also maintains species taxonomy and provides access to additional attribute information. including species values for conservation significance as well as project specific data.

Map of 35 NSW-listed threatened ecological communities (TECs) within Greater Sydney. The map is derived from a number of best available mapping products and expert input. While the distribution of a number of TECs extends beyond Greater Sydney, their distribution beyond the study area is not represented in this map, with two exceptions: the Blue Mountains Basalt Forest and Pittwater and Wagstaffe Spotted Gum Forest TECs. The methodology and scale of best available sources used to derive the map vary, with concomitant variation in currency, coverage, spatial precision and attribution accuracy. There are known gaps in coverage due to the lack of mapping sources in some locations within the study area (including, but not limited to the Grose Valley near Wollangambe, Ebenezer, Cattai, west of Mulgoa and west of Thirlmere). Limitations of this map include: 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, Rural Fire Service 10/50 tool and High Environmental Values Greater Sydney map.

This dataset records the significance of potential fauna habitat within the coastal strip of the Northern and Southern National Resource Management (NRM) Regions of Tasmania. It has been developed as a management tool and is a summary layer derived from the PotentialFuanaHabitat layer. The 'Significance' of the mapped polygons reflects the 'Significance' of the species with the highest threat status for which the polygon represents potential habitat. Only vegetation community polygons that represent threatened fauna habitat are included therefore the layer is not continuous. This dataset is part of the NRM Coastal Values Project. The Project maps vegetation, fauna habitat and geomorphology from High Water mark to 100 metres inland for part of the coastline of the Southern and Northern NRM Regions of Tasmania. The purpose of the coastal values mapping is to provide an easily accessible database on vegetation and geomorphology to support better strategic planning, land use planning and management on the coast.
