This data table represents a machine readable list of species names listed under the Nature Conservation Act 2014 (valid to: 24/05/2024) Notifiable Instrument NI2024-247. List source url: https://www.legislation.act.gov.au/ni/2024-247. Under the Nature Conservation Act 2014 (NC Act), the Minister for the Environment must make a list of species that are at risk of extinction or significant decline within the Australian Capital Territory. Listed species have Special Protection Status (SPS) under the NC Act and triggers various provisions under the Planning Act 2023. The Minister for the Environment makes the Threatened Native Species List on the assessment and recommendation of the ACT Scientific Committee.

This layer contains the most current information on the distribution of potential ACT and EPBC listed Box Gum Grassy Woodland in the ACT. Yellow box-Blakely's red gum grassy woodland and derived grassland is an Endangered Ecological Community under the Nature Conservation Act 2014. White box - Yellow box - Blakely's red gum grassy woodland and derived grassland is a Critically Endangered Ecological Community under the EPBC Act 1999. The criteria for the EPBC community is slightly different to the ACT listed of the community Yellow box-Blakely's red gum grassy woodland and derived grassland community. As the listing of this community is based on condition that requires site assessment to inspect the ground layer and forb diversity, mapped polygons indicate potential distribution of this community.

The ACT Vegetation Map classifies native and derived vegetation across the ACT at 1:10,000 scale into 64 plant communities as at 2023, Australian Capital Territory, Australia. The product includes the following attributes : umcID – Upper Murrumbidgee Catchment vegetation ID (unique vegetation code) (after Armstrong et al 2013) vegCommunity – vegetation community name (after Armstrong et al 2013 and Baines et al 2013) tecACT - listing name of the ACT threatened ecological community (may require field inspection to verify) tecEPBC - listing name of the EPBC threatened ecological community (may require field inspection to verify) tecID - ID of ACT threatened ecological community actConservationStatus - listing status of the vegetation community under the Nature Conservation Act epbcConservationStatus - listing status of the vegetation community under the EPBC Act pctCode - ACT plant community type code treesp1-3 – dominant tree species shrubsp1-3 – dominant shrub species groundsp1-3 – dominant ground cover species canopyCover – canopy cover % (based on 1m 2020 LiDAR canopy cover model) height_mean canopy height (>3m) (based on 1m 2020 LiDAR canopy height model) underCover – understory/shrub cover % (1-3m) (based on 1m 2020 LiDAR shrub model) structure – overall vegetation community structure – e.g. woodland, forest, grassland formation – Keith Formation - broad classification of native vegetation type in NSW and ACT.

This feature layer shows the extent of native, threatened and exotic grasslands in the ACT. Native grasslands of the Territory include a rich assemblage of flora and fauna species that combine into a unique ecosystem. These grasslands are a priority for protection and management as they contribute to our natural biodiversity, our history and heritage, and local amenity and community. Natural temperate grasslands are an Endangered Ecological Community in the ACT (Nature Conservation Act 2014) and Critically Endangered Ecological Community under the EPBC Act 1999. Other Native and Exotic grasslands in the ACT can also have some conservation significance as they support important populations of threatened fauna and flora.

This dataset shows habitat / locations of mammals listed as threatened in the ACT under the Nature Conservation Act 2014.

Location of ACT important natural wetlands in the ACT, including our High Country Bogs and Fens. Wetlands are important for many plants and wildlife in the ACT.

__Threatened Species of National Environmental Significance__ This dataset contains information about species of national environmental significance as listed in the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act). Data provided includes: - species names and threatened status - indicative occurrence within each state, territory and marine area - links to further information in the [Species Profile and Threats Database](http://www.environment.gov.au/cgi-bin/sprat/public/sprat.pl) (SPRAT). The dataset is updated as the lists of species on schedules of the EPBC Act are amended. There is one row entry for each listed species. Links to other species information sourced from SPRAT can be made using the field containing the listed taxon identification number (ListedId). A description of the fields and methods used to create the data can be found in the explanatory notes resource.

Soil and Land Resources of the Australian Capital Territory (ACT) This digital soil landscape product contains natural resource mapping for the Australian Capital Territory. The project was completed by the Office of Environment and Heritage (NSW). The project was funded by the ACT Government to enhance knowledge of soils, landscapes and physical constraints to land use in the urban and rural environment. The information will assist in informed decision making, planning and environmental modelling throughout the catchment. 55 soil landscape map units have been described for the ACT. Each unit is an inventory of soil and landscape information with relatively uniform land management requirements, allowing major soil and landscape qualities and constraints to be identified. The GIS product shown here provides location of each of the soil landscape map units - including the soil landscape code and name. For more detailed information please see the full soil landscape reports for each unit, as well as the final report shown at: https://www.environment.act.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0010/2079667/soil-landscapes-of-the-act-2016.pdf. Detailed spreadsheets can be used to join more detailed information to the GIS also available on request.

This data deal with hydrogeological landscapes of the ACT and the nature and consequences of salinity in the ACT 1:50000. They have been produced for the ACT Government by the NSW Office of Environment and Heritage (OEH) and NSW Department of Primary Industries (DPI). The maps and document result from a series of salinity projects OEH is undertaking to better understand how dryland salinity manifests in the landscape and how salinity may be best managed. The full ACT HGL dataset includes the following: Hydrogeological Landscapes Hydrogeological Landscape Management Areas Land and Soil Capability (Overall) Salinity Hazard (Overall) ACT Erosion Hazard (Current) ACT Erosion Hazard (Future Consensus Scenario) ACT Erosion Hazard (Future Worst Case Scenario) ACT Erosion Hazard (Future Best Case Scenario) Wetland Vulnerability Classification Wetland Types (Australian National Aquatic Ecosystem)
