This dataset contains the percentage point change in Melbourne¿s urban vegetation cover between 2014 and 2018, represented by polygons. Each polygon is based on 2016 ABS Mesh Blocks. It's part of a collection of data from Plan Melbourne Action 91 initiative also referred to as Cooling & Greening or Vegetation and Urban heat mapping. https://mapshare.vic.gov.au/coolinggreening/

The dataset provides conservation areas, within the Melbourne West, Sunbury (Melbourne North-west), Melbourne North and Melbourne South-east growth areas between the 2005 and 2010 Urban Growth Boundary. The dataset is the basis of "biodiversity areas" identified in the Melbourne Growth Corridor Plans (May 2012) and the Biodiversity Conservation Strategy for the Melbourne Growth Corridors to be released in 2013, and prepared as a requirement of the Melbourne Strategic Assessment under the Commonwealth EPBC Act.

This dataset contains vegetation features represented by polygons as at 2014. Each polygon is based on ABS mesh blocks which have been subdivided by Vicmap property road casement polygons.

This is a spatial dataset comprising predictions of vegetation condition for biodiversity for the Central Queensland Coast bioregion. The dataset was created using a gradient boosting decision tree (GBDT) model based on 10 vegetation-specific remote sensing datasets and 7,938 training sites of known vegetation community and condition state across Southeast Queensland, Brigalow Belt and Central Queensland Coast bioregions. Condition score was modelled as a function of distance in the remote sensing (RS) space within homogeneous vegetation communities. The product is intended to represent predicted BioCondition for 2021 rather than any singe date.

The Vicmap Vegetation Tree Urban represents trees as points across Metropolitan Melbourne and the urban environment within four regional councils: Wangaratta, Sale, Shepparton and Ballarat. This product is derived from machine learning of high resolution aerial photography with no post processing human intervention.

This record is now superseded. The current record can be found here: https://datasets.seed.nsw.gov.au/dataset/lake-macquarie-lga-vegetation-community-map-2022-vis_id-5117 Lake Macquarie City Council Working Composite Vegetation Community Map undertaken by Stephen Bell and Colin Driscoll from 2008 - 2013. A staged approach has been adopted by Council, to allow for funding as it becomes available. Stage 1 of the project focused on the Wyee to Cooranbong portion of the LGA, while Stage 2 examined the Glendale–Bolton Point–Seahampton area. Stage 5 focused on the north-eastern area of the City, extending north from Belmont in the south, and adjoining the Stage 2 area near Glendale. Stages 4 and 6 have not yet commenced. In total, approximately 46,270 ha have been included within Stages 1-3 and 5. Previous classification and mapping studies have also been amalgamated to form the basis of a city-wide vegetation map, which will be progressively amended and improved as further funding becomes available. Both mapping projects adopt the LHCCREMS 2000 vegetation classification as their structural framework, but with updated sub-community and new community allocations informed through preliminary regional multivariate data analysis undertaken for unrelated projects elsewhere in the region. VIS_ID 2307 Map footprint supplied only. Contact Lake Macquarie Council for access to the vegetation map.

This dataset provides the spatial extent in which the Biodiversity Conservation Strategy, as part of the Melbourne Strategic Assessment, applies. The Program, as defined in the Program Report, means the Urban Growth Boundary Review for Melbourne for the development of land, including associated transport infrastructure, within the following areas: - investigation areas for the expansion of the 2005 Urban Growth Boundary - areas inside the 2005 Urban Growth Boundary for which a planning scheme amendment to introduce a Precinct Structure Plan had not commenced as at 26 May 2009 (the existing 28 precincts) - areas in the outer Metropolitan Ring Transport Corridor/E6 Road Reservation and the Regional Rail Link corridor between west of Werribee and Deer Park This Strategy does not apply to the Regional Rail Link corridor between west of Werribee and Deer Park, nor does it apply to any of the 28 precincts for which a planning scheme amendment to introduce a Precinct Structure Plan has been approved prior to 1 March 2012.

This dataset contains plant species and their occurence within the City of Melbourne area before 1835. It is based on the "Pre-colonial plant list for the City of Melbourne" produced by S.J. Sinclair, G. Sutter and M. Duncan of the Arthur Rylah Institute. For documented methods please refer to the report (attached). Codes are used in this Plant List that refer to the likelihood of the species having occurred in pre-colonial City of Melbourne: • 0 Did not occur • 1 Unlikely to have occurred • 2.1 Quite likely (at low cover) • 2.2 Quite likely (may have been prominent in places (>5% cover)) • 3.1 Highly likely or known to have occurred (low cover) • 3.2 Highly likely or known to have occurred (>5% cover) • - Certain We acknowledge and respect Victorian Traditional Owners as the original custodians of Victoria's land and waters, their unique ability to care for Country and deep spiritual connection to it. In particular, we acknowledge the Traditional Owners of the land to which this work relates, the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung and Bunurong Boon Wurrung peoples of the Eastern Kulin. We honour Elders past and present whose knowledge and wisdom has ensured the continuation of culture and traditional practice. We are committed to genuinely partner, and meaningfully engage, with Victoria's Traditional Owners and Aboriginal communities to support the protection of Country, the maintenance of spiritual and cultural practices and their broader aspirations in the 21st century and beyond. Threat status was attributed according to the Flora and Fauna Guarantee (FFG) Act Threatened List and; Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation (EPBC) Act 1999 list as at May 2022.

This dataset contains spatial polygons which represent tree canopy areas across the City of Melbourne. It can be easily mapped using the geometry column. Tree canopy polygons have been derived by ArborCarbon from high-resolution airborne multispectral imagery. ArborCarbon collected this imagery using the ArborCam, a unique 11-band airborne multispectral camera system optimized for the accurate detection of vegetation and subtle changes in vegetation condition. The high-resolution airborne imagery datasets were geometrically corrected and orthorectified using the City of Melbourne’s publicly available 2018 aerial imagery and a Digital Terrain Model supplied by the City. A Digital Surface Model was generated from the acquired imagery for the full extent of the City, enabling the stratification of vegetation into a range of height categories. All vegetation >3m above the ground was classified as canopy (excluding vegetation on building rooftops).
