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 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.

Fine scale vegetation communities mapped at 1:1,000 resolution across the Lord Howe Island Group (LHIG) are based on 2012, ADS40 digital aerial imagery captured at 10 cm resolution (LPI). The updated vegetation data and report will assist the LHI Board to better manage vegetation communities across the World Heritage Area, particularly within the settlement area where spatial accuracy in the delineation of native vegetation is critical and will assist and inform actions undertaken in delivering biodiversity management.

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

The composition and the extent of the present native vegetation in Goobang National Park (42080 ha) is described and mapped at 1:50 000 scale from intensive quadrat samples, field traverses and aerial photographic interpretation. Goobang National Park is situated in central-western New South Wales north-east of Parks, and encompasses the Herveys and Curumbenya Ranges and part of the Bumberry Ridge. VIS_ID 1051

The vegetation of the Central Division of NSW was classified and mapped (Cobar-Nyngan-Gilgandra), Nymagee-Narromine-Dubbo 1:250 000 map sheets) as part of the NSW NPWS wheat-belt mapping series. The vegetation classification was derived using traditional API and quantitative analysis of data from 428 field sites. Analyses included heirarchical classification in PATN to define floristic groups, then Fidel and ANOSIM to elucidate the characteristic species of the groups and explore the consistency of these relationships and various levels of similarity. Maps and descriptions show the floristic composition and structure, the geographic distribution of assemblages, the current extent, and shape and degree of connectivity of vegetation and changes in native woody vegetation cover over time.

Vegetation survey and mapping of Warrumbungle National Park in 2008, commissioned by NPWS Narrabri Region. Nine 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, however some anomalies have been identified by NPWS staff. VIS_ID 4017

Vegetation survey and mapping of Killarney 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.

Endangered Ecological Communities (EECs) for Wyong LGA mapped by Stephen Bell in 2009. This data originates from the vegetation map of 2008 which included a "EEC Equivalent" field in the attribute table. Subsequent work was done on the EEC subset exported from the vegetation map by Council in 2009. The category names were changed, some areas removed and boundaries possibly modified. No documentation exists for this additional work. VIS_ID 3904 Map footprint supplied only. Contact Central Coast Council for access to the vegetation map.
