Vegetation mapping for Wyong Local Government Area undertaken by Stephen Bell and Colin Driscoll in 2008. A revision of existing mapping for Wyong LGA completed in 1999 and 2002. Extensive and detailed data collection and API has been undertaken in Olney, Ourimbah and Wyong State Forests and used to produce a new vegetation map broadly based on the NPWS (2000) classification scheme. In addition, previous mapping projects, including those for Jilliby State Conservation Area, have been incorporated with new API of unmapped areas to produce a single seamless vegetation layer for western Wyong, covering 50 native vegetation map units.

Vegetation Distribution Map for the western portion of Kempsey Shire Council. Project undertaken by GHD consultants in 2007. The western portion is generally considered to be those lands within the shire boundary on the western side of the Pacific Highway.; ; The vegetation mapping was carried out using Landsat 5 TM (imagery taken between Dec 2004 and August 2005) scene and topographic variables as a basis for multi-variate statistical classification techniques. The image was 'seeded' with areas of known vegetation type 'samples', as determined by the field survey, from which spectral and topographic similarity was used to predict the presence of those types elsewhere in the image. A few iterations of model and map refinement and validation were then used to produce a final map that was then converted to the preferred GIS format for display.; ; VIS_ID 244

Vegetation map of Wyong Local Government Area - Extant Distribution. Vegetation survey, analysis and mapping has been undertaken for Wyong LGA on the Central Coast of NSW. Cluster analysis of 444 survey plots (0.04 ha in size) revealed notable differences in the vegetation of the area, governed principally by drainage, soil type and elevation. Forty-three (43) vegetation communities have been defined, and the composition, distribution and conservation status for each of these is examined, and placed into context with other vegetation classifications completed in the region over recent years. The report details a classification of the natural vegetation of Wyong Shire, and presents extant and pre-1750 maps for the area showing the distribution of each defined community.

Vegetation survey and mapping of Leard State Conservation Area in 2008, commissioned by NPWS Narrabri Region. Six communities were determined based on floristic analysis of 20 x 20 m survey sites, and described using dominant species and structural characteristics. Vegetation communities were mapped using ground truthing, position in landscape and stereo interpretation of aerial photos captured at 1:50,000. Lineage and attribution accuracy are unknown.

Byron Shire Council Vegetation was mapped using a combination of aerial photograph interpretation (API), reviewing existing information (eg. vegetation survey data from various council and state government projects), and on-ground site inspections. It was originally mapped in 2015 from 2009 and 2012 aerial photography, updated spatially by Landmark Ecological Services Pty Ltd in 2017 along with PCT classes, and slightly revised in 2019 and again in 2021.

Fine-scale mapping of vegetation, including Endangered Ecological Communities (EECs) and Koala habitat across the Local Government Area (LGA). The mapping fulfills a fundamental requirement for the development of a Biodiversity Management Strategy (BMS) by Lismore City Council. The LGA was divided into three zones, designated by colour, reflecting differing levels of available background information, potential for landuse to conflict with biodiversity objectives and other threats. NPWS Estate including National Parks (NPs), Nature Reserves (NRs) and State Conservation Areas (SCAs) as well as State Forests (SFs) were outside the scope of the mapping project. Original field work was undertaken between November 2010 and June 2011. The mapping project commenced in Nov 2017 using 2009 aerial photography along with Sept 2012 imagery limited to the rural villages of Modanville, Dunoon and Nimbin. From May 2018 onwards the project used high resolution aerial photography taken in April 2018. Vegetation was classified by API mainly on the basis of spatial patterns, texture and colour calibrated by field observations. Non-plantation vegetation polygons were assigned to vegetation units on the basis of canopy dominant species. Vegetation communities were placed in Keith formations and classes. Vegetation condition was also recorded. Each vegetation polygon was assigned to a Koala habitat category based only on flora species present. A list of EECs reported or considered likely to occur in the LGA were also derived. A reliability code was allocated to each mapped polygon, according to the source of the data and/or the manner in which data was collected. VIS_ID 4479

Maitland City Council(MCC)Vegetation Mapping by Lisa Hill in 2003. Vegetation distribution map for lands within the extent of the local government area, excluding those contained within National Park or State Forest Reserves. Systematic vegetation survey was carried out in Maitland LGA to provide Maitland Council with detailed information on natural vegetation for strategic planning purposes. Flora was sampled at 55 field sites (plots) and extensive field reconnaissance was carried out across the LGA. Agglomerative cluster analysis of plot data delineated eleven vegetation communities and an additional two communities were described by previous work in the LGA work (NPWS 2000). A total of 8,305 ha of extant vegetation was mapped in Maitland LGA using aerial photograph interpretation (API) at 1:25,000 scale. This included thirteen vegetation communities and areas of scattered trees and regeneration that did not constitute intact communities. Much of the vegetation in the LGA has affiliation with vegetation in the central, lower and mid Hunter valley, with areas in the south-east of the LGA more related to coastal vegetation in the lower Hunter-Central Coast Region.

This polygon shapefile is a 1:25,000 vegetation mapping dataset combining 1999 CRAFTI and Forest Ecosystem mapping. Project undertaken by Kendall and Kendall Ecological Consultants and GECO Environmental for Kempsey Shire Council. The dataset covers the entire Macleay Coastal subcatchment (as per DLWC Stressed Rivers) and all areas south of this within the Kempsey LGA but east of the Pacific Highway. (VIS_ID 243)

Vegetation of the Wyong LGA, 1999. Broadly mapped the vegetation of this area based largely on aerial photographic interpretation and linked broad structural and floristic differences in vegetation to major geology types.and utilised a geological coding system to describe the vegetation. The coding system over-simplifies the floristic patterns present, but is generally representative of major trends. The resultant mapping is broad in nature, and masks structural and floristic variation at the fine scale. Forty-nine (49) vegetation communities are presented by Payne and Duncan (1999), ranging from several types of rainforest, through wet and dry sclerophyll forests, woodlands, heaths and scrub, to swamps, wetlands and mangroves. See Bell (2002) for a brief description, and a table of vegetation units used in this mapping. VIS_ID 739 Map footprint supplied only. Contact Central Coast Council for access to the vegetation map.
