This layer contains digital mapping of the native vegetation communities of the Sydney Metropolitan area. Vegetation communities have been derived from the analysis of 2200 floristic sites collated for the study area. Identified vegetation communities have been related to currently listed threatened ecological communities listed under the NSW TSC Act, 1995 and the Commonwealth EPBC Act, 1999. Native vegetation communities have been mapped using a combination of detailed image interpretation, relationships between sample sites and abiotic environmental variables. The derived digital data layer includes fields that describe the vegetation community, interpreted dominant species and understorey characteristics, interpretation confidence, disturbance type and severity, NSW vegetation formation and classes and related NSW Plant Community Types. These are described in detail in technical reports OEH (2016) The Native Vegetation of the Sydney Metropolitan Area. Volume 1: Technical Report. Version 3.0. Office of Environment and Heritage Sydney. OEH (2016) The Native Vegetation of the Sydney Metropolitan Area. Volume 2: Vegetation Community Profiles. Version 3.0. NSW Office of Environment and Heritage, Sydney. Version 3.0 of the Native Vegetation of the Sydney Metropolitan Area updates the Plant Community Type and Biometric Vegetation Type of each map unit. Version 3.0 replaced version 2.0 (VIS_ID 3817) and created a seamless alignment between the GIS layer and the Plant Community and Biometric Vegetation Types in the Biodiversity Assessment Method tool. These were the only significant updates from version 2.0. Version 3.1 is a minor update. Two new attribute fields were added - PCTID and PCTName. These fields align with the Bionet Vegetation map data standard v1.0(https://www.environment.nsw.gov.au/research-and-publications/publications-search/bionet-vegetation-map-data-standard-version-1). PCTID was populated by the v3.0 attribute field, PCT_code. PCTName was populated by extracting the corresponding PCT common name from the Bionet Vegetation Classification web service (https://data.bionet.nsw.gov.au/). No other changes were made to the vegetation map. VIS_ID 4489

The study was undertaken to identify items of the natural and cultural heritage with conservation significance because of their scenic or scientific value. It complements much of the work of The National Trust of Australia (NSW) and the listings in the Register maintained by the Australian Heritage Commission. The latter listings are directed towards identifying components of the national Estate. The focus of this study is mainly on the non-urban and open space environments in the Central Western Region with particular empasis on the features of the biophysical/natural heritage which contribute to scenic amenity and/or scientific value in those environments.; ; VIS_ID 860

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.

Biddiscombe, E.F. (1963) Vegetation Survey in the Macquarie Region, NSW. Division of Plant Industry Technical Paper No. 18. CSIRO, Melbourne. Description of the native vegetation of the Macquarie and Castlereagh river systems where these traverse the lower Western Slopes and adjoining sections of the Plains. The vegetation is classified into 22 floristic associations which are grouped into 11 alliances (4 forest, 5 woodland, 1 mallee and 1 grassland). Mapping is based on ground traverses and aerial photography. (VIS_ID 818)

This shapefile contains the digital mapping incorporating Amendments 1 and 2 to the subject lands for the Biocertification of Sydney Region Growth Centres State Environmental Planning Policy (Growth Centres SEPP) and related Environmental Planning Instruments (EPIs) pursuant to Part 7 Schedule 7 of the Threatened Species Conservation Act 1995. The boundaries of the certified lands in Amendment 1 have been updated to align with the outcomes of the precinct planning process in 12 precincts. North Kellyville, Riverstone West, Riverstone, Alex Avenue, Marsden Park Industrial and Marsden Park in the North West Growth Centre and Edmonson Park, Oran Park, Turner Road, Austral, Leppington North and Catherine Fields (Part) in the South West Growth Centre. The Amendment 2 relates to the East Leppington precinct only.

This report provides statistics on the pre-European and current extent of the ecological communities of Western Australia within IBRA region or IBRA sub-regions. It also includes statistics to assess the status of the CAR reserve system for WA. Only DBCA-managed lands are considered in the reports. This analysis is based on DPIRD’s pre-European (Beard’s) vegetation mapping. This report is updated at least every two years. Since 2009 a ‘Full’ and ‘Simplified’ report have been produced. See the report README file for information on which report you should use. The links in this Catalogue direct you to DataWA.
