Swan Coastal Plain Remnant Vegetation in 2010. Part of a suite of polygon datasets that best represents remnants of original pre-1750 vegetation on the Swan Coastal Plain (DBCA-046) as at 2000, 2005, 2010, 2015 and 2020. The polygons represent interpreted areas of vegetation using current and historical digital aerial photography (1953-present) sourced from Landgate, Digital globe and Google. Simplified condition of the vegetation has been attributed.

Generalised land use regions based on their primary agricultural land use.

Land capability for annual horticulture in the south west of Western Australia based on analysis and interpretation of the best available soil-landscape mapping dataset (DPIRD-027). Land capability refers to the ability of land to support a type of land use without causing damage. See DAFWA Resource Management Technical Report 298 for a description of the qualities assessed and the methodology involved. The assessment for annual horticulture covers the production of irrigated horticultural crops from plants with short-term life cycles (typically completed within the period of a year). Crops include annual fruits (strawberries, melons, etc.), vegetables (e.g. potatoes, lettuce, cabbages, tomatoes, pumpkins, etc.), commercial turf production and cut flowers. The assumptions for the land use as assessed include: • crops are grown for commercial production • crops are shallow-rooted with most roots using only the top 50 cm of soil • crops are irrigated using sprinkler or trickle systems • mechanised cultivation occurs at least annually • fertilisers and herbicides, fungicides and/or pesticides are broadcast at least annually • crop rotation is practised • considers physical requirements only and ignores socio-economic factors. Capability ratings do not take into account factors such as the availability and quality of water supplies for irrigation or climatic risks such as frost or heat stress. Such factors need to be considered as a separate layer of information.

This product is the Recreational Fishing Regions of Western Australia dataset. This datatset outlines recreational fishing regions used for monitoring, assessments and management of Western Australia’s recreational fisheries and aquatic resources in accordance with ecosystem-based fisheries management and Western Australia Fisheries Resource Harvest Strategies.

This file geodatabase downloads contains two datasets (NVIS7_0_AUST_EXT_MVG_ALB and NVIS7_0_AUST_EXT_MVS_ALB) that provides the latest summary information on Australia's present (extant) native vegetation, classified into Major Vegetation Groups and Major Vegetation Subgroups. It is in Albers Equal Area projection with a 100 m x 100 m (1 Ha) cell size. For this update, Version 7.0, the pre 1750 datasets were unchanged from the previous Version 6.0. This product is derived from a compilation of data collected at different scales on different dates by different organisations. Please refer to the separate Key Dataset map showing scales of the input datasets 'NVIS7_0_KEY_DSET_xxx'. Gaps in the NVIS database were filled by non-NVIS data, notably parts of South Australia. Major Vegetation Groups and Subgroups were identified to summarise the type and distribution of Australia's native vegetation. The classification contains different mixes of plant species within the canopy, shrub or ground layers, but are structurally similar and are often dominated by a single genus. In a mapping sense, the groups reflect the dominant vegetation occurring in a map unit where there are a mix of several vegetation types. Subdominant vegetation groups which may also be present in the map unit are not shown. For example, the dominant vegetation in an area may be mapped as dominated by eucalypt open forest, although it contains pockets of rainforest, shrubland and grassland vegetation as subdominants. A number of other non-vegetation and non-native vegetation land cover types are also represented as Major Vegetation Groups and Subgroups. These are provided for cartographic purposes but should not be used for analyses. For further background and other NVIS products, please see the links at: http://www.environment.gov.au/land/native-vegetation/national-vegetation-information-system.

The NVIS vegetation attributes contain information on vegetation structure (growth form, height and cover) and floristics (genus and species) as documented in the Australian Vegetation Attribute Manual Version 7.0 (NVIS Technical Working Group, 2017). The NVIS detailed Level 1-6 vegetation descriptions make up theNVIS Information Hierarchy andare used to assign the Major Vegetation Groups and Major Vegetation Subgroups classifications. The hierarchy is based on structural and floristic information including dominant genus, growth form, height and cover and are preferably collected at the Level 6 Sub-Association (sub-stratum) level. For many reasons including different scales and classification methods, not all data is collected at this level of detail. Currently there are over 19,500 distinct NVIS vegetation descriptions in the NVIS database. For more information refer to the Australian Vegetation Attribute Manual.These detailed vector data products may be used at a regional scale and allow for more complex analyses when joined with the associated Lookup Table of Flat File. They are available in Present (Extant) and Estimated Pre-1750 (pre-European - where available) themes. Data is available under CC BY. It is recommended the datasets be used alongside the Key Layers to better understand the source data attributes such as differing scales, age of data etc.For this update, Version 7.0, the extant datasets for Queensland, Australian Capital Territory, New South Wales and Tasmania have been updated. An automated, data-driven procedure, followed by thorough manual checks, was undertaken to make any necessary updates to MVG/MVS assignments for Australian Capital Territory, New South Wales and Tasmania. Conversely, Queensland directly provided the MVG/MVS assignments for the state.This dataset is not comparable with earlier versions of NVIS.Reference: NVIS Technical Working Group (2017) Australian Vegetation Attribute Manual: National Vegetation Information System, Version 7.0.

For complex analyses and to extract maximum information from NVIS spatial data, this LUT can also be linked to NVISDSC2-6. It is recommended that users refer to the Australian Vegetation Attribute Manual V7.0 for understanding of the NVIS hierarchy (Level 1-6 descriptions) -https://www.dcceew.gov.au/environment/land/publications/australian-vegetation-attribute-manual-version-7.Once this table has been joined, a simple display option is to use the field "NVIS7_0_LUT_AUST_DETAIL.MVG_NAME" (or MVS_NAME if preferred) which includes the names of the NVIS Major Vegetation Groups (MVGs).A legend or 'shadeset' for the MVGs and MVSs can be found packaged with the detailed vector data: NVIS7_0_AUST_EXT_[STATE] and NVIS7_0_AUST_PRE_[STATE].Use the field

Soil-landscape mapping covering Western Australia at the best available scale (Version February 2019) attributed with the proportional allocation of WA Soil Groups to each map unit. It is a compilation of various surveys at different scales varying between 1:20,000 and 1:3,000,000.
