Regional water strategies (RWS) set the direction for water planning and management at a regional scale over the next 20-40 years. There are 14 regional water strategies (including Greater Sydney Water Strategy), tailored to the unique challenges and needs of each region. They have been developed in partnership with water service providers, local councils, communities, Aboriginal people and other stakeholders across NSW.\r \r The boundaries of regional water strategy areas define regions in NSW for which regional water strategies are prepared. The boundaries are based on several factors, including:\r \r - surface water hydrology\r - statutory instruments, such as water sharing plans and water resource plans\r - economic, social and cultural factors\r - government strategic plans\r \r The boundaries of regional water strategy (RWS) areas mostly, but not exclusively, align with groups of water sharing plan boundaries for surface water sources:\r \r - In coastal areas, RWS boundaries align with Water Sharing Plan boundaries\r - In inland areas, RWS boundaries align with Water Resource Plan boundaries. \r \r The NSW Murray RWS also includes the area for the Wentworth weir pool. Its boundary is further defined using the Bureau of Meteorology’s (BoM) geofabric AHGF Catchment layer to include the catchments that incorporate the Wentworth Weir pool. The Fish River–Wywandy RWS boundary was also further defined using the BoM geofabric, local council boundaries and National Parks Estate boundaries.\r \r -----------------------------------\r \r Note: If you would like to ask a question, make any suggestions, or tell us how you are using this dataset, please visit the NSW Water Hub which has an online forum you can join.\r

This product contains two candidate reporting regions, namely AWRA Drainage Division for national scale reporting purposes and River Region for regional scale reporting purposes. More reporting regions may be added in future releases based on user requirements.

This product contains four feature types including: AWRA Drainage Division, AWRA Drainage Division Contracted Catchment Lookup, River Region, and River Regions Contracted Catchment Lookup.

Full metadata available at: https://data.gov.au/data/dataset/6f39e080-ded7-4563-a8f6-ab64da57e590/resource/6aa681fb-097d-4da7-ac85-a13a258cc353/download/hrregionsgdbv211.html

Purpose

The purpose of Geofabric Hydrology Reporting Regions is to provide a stable set of reporting boundaries for products such as the Bureau's Australian Water Resources Assessment (AWRA). It contains two levels of hydrological reporting regions. The first delineates national level Drainage Divisions and the second delineates regional level River Regions across Australia.

The AWRA Drainage Division is defined for the purpose of providing a stable set of reporting regions specifically for the purpose of the Bureau's Australian Water Resources Assessment 2010 and are referred to as the 2010 Assessment Reporting Regions.

The River Regions were based on a specification developed by Bureau hydrologists involved in water resources assessment in consultation with the Geofabric team and scientists from CSIRO and ANU. These boundaries were developed for use in regional scale reporting and hydrological modelling. The River Region boundaries were not used in the Australian Water Resources

Dataset History

Geofabric Hydrology Reporting Regions is part of a suite of Geofabric products produced by the Australian Bureau of Meteorology. The geometry of this product is derived from aggregations of Contracted catchments within the Hydrology Reporting Catchments product.

This product contains two candidate reporting regions, namely AWRA Drainage Divisions for national scale reporting purposes and River Regions for regional scale reporting purposes. More reporting regions will be added in future releases based on user requirements.

The AWRA Drainage Divisions were defined for the purpose of providing a stable set of reporting regions specifically for the purpose of the Bureau's Australian Water Resources Assessment (AWRA) 2010 and are referred to as the 2010 Assessment Reporting Regions.

The AWRA Drainage Divisions were based on the NCB Level 1 Drainage Division feature within the Geofabric Surface Catchments product with the addition of an extra division dividing NSW and Victoria. This division was based on a boundary derived from the NCB Level 2 Drainage Basin feature and was chosen to best approximate the border between New South Wales (NSW) and Victoria, creating the South East Coast (Victoria) and South East Coast (NSW) regions.

The River Regions were based on a specification developed by Bureau hydrologists involved in water resource assessment in consultation with the Geofabric team and scientists from CSIRO and ANU. These boundaries were developed for use in regional scale reporting and hydrological modelling.

The River Regions were based on the NCB Level 2 Drainage Basins, within the Geofabric Surface Catchments product, for every location in Australia except for the Murray Darling Basin (MDB) where a finer level of division was required.

The boundaries within the MDB were originally developed on the selections of Pfafstetter levels 3 to 7 that best approximated the Australian Water Resource Council (AWRC) river basins. A set of decision rules was developed using evidence from the GEODATA 9 Digital Elevation Model (DEM-9S) Version 3.1 flow direction grid, the 1 second DEM-H Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (STRM) data, Bing Maps Satellite Images, Geofabric stream flow directions and Geofabric Surface Cartography data. Particular attention was given to areas with internal draining basins, minimal or no streams, and floodplain areas with anabranch and braided streams.

These informed the creation of MDB Contracted nodes which correspond to features in the landscape with hydrological significance, with subsequent creation of Contracted catchments. Contracted catchments were then aggregated to create River Regions within the MDB.

Processing steps:

1. re-composited feature classes in the Geofabric Maintenance Geodatabase Feature Dataset are assigned unique Hydro-IDs using ESRI ArcHydro for Surface Water (ArcHydro: 1.4.0.180 and ApFramework: 3.1.0.84)

2. feature classes from the Geofabric Maintenance Geodatabase Feature Dataset are extracted and reassigned to the Geofabric Hydrology Reporting Regions Feature Dataset within the Geofabric Hydrology Reporting Regions Geodatabase.

A complete set of data mappings, from input source data to Geofabric Products, is included in the Geofabric Product Guide, Appendices.

The Central Coast Regional Biodiversity Management Plan constitutes the national regional recovery plan under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 for threatened species and ecological communities principally distributed in the Northern Rivers Region of NSW. The Plan is part of an Australian Government-funded pilot to trial the integration of regional recovery and threat abatement planning. It provides a regional approach to the delivery of recovery actions necessary to ensure the long-term viability of threatened species and ecological communities in the Region.

The Biodiversity Management Plan Study Area boundary for the Central Coast consists of Lake Macquarie, Gosford and Wyong Local Government Area boundaries.

The Cessnock Regional Biodiversity Management Plan constitutes the national regional recovery plan under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 for threatened species and ecological communities principally distributed in the Northern Rivers Region of NSW. The Plan is part of an Australian Government-funded pilot to trial the integration of regional recovery and threat abatement planning. It provides a regional approach to the delivery of recovery actions necessary to ensure the long-term viability of threatened species and ecological communities in the Region.

The Biodiversity Management Plan Study Area boundary for Cessnock is the Cessnock Local Government Area boundary.

The Natural Resource Management (NRM) Regions dataset is maintained for the purpose of authoritative reporting on the Australian Government's NRM investments. The dataset is designed to cover all Australian territory where Australian Government funded NRM projects might take place and includes major islands, external territories, and state and coastal waters in addition to the NRM regional boundaries.Whilst the boundaries of NRM Regions are defined by legislation in some states and territories, this dataset should not be used to represent legal boundaries in any way. It is an administrative dataset developed for the purpose of reporting and public information. It should be noted that from time to time the states and/or territories may revise their regional boundaries in accordance with local needs and therefore alterations to either the attribution or boundaries of the data may occur in the future.Current VersionIn total, the 2020 version dataset comprises 63 map objects for 61 NRM regions. These comprise 56 mainland regions (of which two have associated large islands as distinct map objects) and a further five external territory islands.The 2020 version updates the previous version (2017) with changes to boundaries of South Australian NRM Regions to align with new regional landscape boundaries (https://data.sa.gov.au/data/dataset/landscapes-sa-boundaries) under the Landscapes South Australia Act 2019 (SA) Act which replaced the Natural Resources Management Act 2004 (SA) Act. Minor edits were made to remove gaps, slivers and overlaps so the new SA boundaries aligned with non-SA NRM Regions. The "Hills and Fleurieu" and "Green Adelaide" Landscapes SA boundaries were merged to form the single 4010 "Adelaide and Mount Lofty Ranges" NRM Region, although at the request of the data owner, the previous names and internal boundaries were retained within this NRM region. Additionally a number of gaps and overlaps in the Western Australia NRM regions were fixed.Previous VersionThe 2017 version updates the previous version (2016 version 2) with changes to boundaries of six of Western Australia’s seven NRM regions (only Peel-Harvey Region is unchanged). The new WA boundaries are as agreed during 2017 by NRMWA, a collective of all incorporated NRM groups in that state.There are a few changes of NRM names in Qld, Tas and WA from the 2016 version based on line area’s suggestion.The 2017 version also removes the NRM_BODY data (added for 2016 version 2) and the non-spatial OceanWatch map label previously included. These two changes relate to Australian Government administrative arrangements for NRM funding delivery.AttributesThe principle data fields in the 2017 version dataset are:- NRM_Region- State- Area_Description (land area, state and coastal waters, territorial sea, Torres Strait)- NRM_IDNRM_ID and NRM_Region Names grouped by state/territory are as follows:New South Wales (11 regions + 1 extra map object for Lord Howe Island)1010 Central Tablelands1020 Central West1030 Greater Sydney1040 Hunter1050 Murray1060 North Coast (excludes Lord Howe Island)1061 North Coast - Lord Howe Island1070 North West NSW1080 Northern Tablelands1090 Riverina1100 South East NSW1110 WesternVictoria (10 regions)2010 Corangamite2020 East Gippsland2030 Glenelg Hopkins2040 Goulburn Broken2050 Mallee2060 North Central2070 North East2080 Port Phillip and Western Port2090 West Gippsland2100 WimmeraQueensland (15 regions)3010 Burnett Mary3020 Cape York3030 Condamine3040 Co-operative Management Area (between Cape York and Northern Gulf)3050 Desert Channels3060 Fitzroy3070 Burdekin3080 Northern Gulf3090 Maranoa Balonne and Border Rivers3100 Mackay Whitsunday3110 South East Queensland3120 South West Queensland3130 Southern Gulf3140 Wet Tropics3150 Torres StraitSouth Australia (8 regions)4010 Adelaide and Mount Lofty Ranges4020 Alinytjara Wilurara4030 Eyre Peninsula4040 Kangaroo Island4050 Northern and Yorke4060 South Australian Arid Lands4070 South Australian Murray Darling Basin4080 South EastWestern Australia (7 regions)5010 Northern Agricultural Region5020 Peel-Harvey Region5030 Swan Region5040 Rangelands Region5050 South Coast Region5060 South West Region5070 Avon River BasinTasmania (3 regions + 1 extra map object for Macquarie Island)6010 North West NRM Region6020 North NRM Region6030 South NRM Region (excludes Macquarie Islands)6031 South NRM Region - Macquarie IslandsNorthern Territory (1 region)7010 Northern TerritoryAustralian Capital Territory (1 region)8010 ACTExternal Territories (5 regions)9010 Ashmore and Cartier Islands9020 Christmas Island9030 Cocos Keeling Islands9040 Heard and McDonald Islands9050 Norfolk IslandCredit:The NRM region boundaries (2006 base layer) are primarily based on data and information supplied by the relevant state and territory government agencies. Geoscience Australia's Australian Maritime Boundaries (2014) and Geodata Coast 100K (2004) data were also used in the development of this dataset. Local Land Service region boundaries were sourced from the NSW Government.

The Natural Resource Management (NRM) Regions dataset is maintained for the purpose of authoritative reporting on the Australian Government's NRM investments. The dataset is designed to cover all Australian territory where Australian Government funded NRM projects might take place and includes major islands, external territories, and state and coastal waters in addition to the NRM regional boundaries. Whilst the boundaries of NRM Regions are defined by legislation in some states and territories, this dataset should not be used to represent legal boundaries in any way. It is an administrative dataset developed for the purpose of reporting and public information. It should be noted that from time to time the states and/or territories may revise their regional boundaries in accordance with local needs and therefore alterations to either the attribution or boundaries of the data may occur in the future.Current VersionAs part of Phase Two of the National Landcare Program (NLP) the Australian Government's natural resource management (NRM) investments will be delivered with Regional Delivery Partners (RDPs) across 56 management units. These replace the previous NLP management units used in NLP Phase One. They are officially referred to as Regional Delivery Partners for Environmental Protection, Sustainable Agriculture and Natural Resource Management Services 2022. The spatial data for RDP management units are derived from the NRM Regions spatial data, as described below.The 2022 dataset defines NRM Region boundaries and Regional Delivery Partner management units in a single dataset, thereby overcoming version control issues with the previous approach of publishing separate data layers for each.To handle a variety of required derivations, a fundamental set of 64 NRM Region map objects was first defined. This can then be compiled using various queries on non-spatial attributes. For example, as set out below, we can define 56 continental NRM Regions and 8 off-shore NRM regions, or island sub components of NRM regions located on the continent. Across these a total of 56 RDP management units can also be defined.To identify those NRM regions located on the Australian continent, a "continental" field (yes/no) has been included, for the first time, in the 2022 dataset. It allows differentiation between off-shore and continental regions, and accommodates that some NRM regions (ie one each in NSW and Tasmania) have both a continental part (eg North Coast, NSW) and an off-shore part (eg North Coast - Lord Howe Island).In accordance with the Australian Government’s Remote Indigenous Procurement Policy (RIPP) and its application to NRM regional investment, we have identified 16 RDP management units with more than 50% overlap with RIPP areas, as defined by the Australian Bureau of Statistics. A RIPP field (yes/no) is included in the attribute table. The data structure allows either NRM Regions, RDP management units and those RDPs overlapping RIPPs to be mapped from the single dataset using the NRM_REGION, RDP_NAME and RIPP fields respectively. NRM_ID, RDP_ID and RIPP fields may also be used.The 2022 version updates the previous version (2020). In total, the 2022 version dataset comprises 64 NRM map objects for 62 NRM regions. These comprise 56 mainland regions (of which two have associated islands as separate map objects), the Torres Strait NRM region, and a further five external territories. Four of these external territories are islands and one is classified as Marine NRM. Using the RDP_NAME or RDP_ID fields to map Regional Delivery Partner management units will result in 56 RDP management unitsThese comprise: 54 mainland RDP management units (two of which have island components); Torres Strait; and a "Marine NRM" management unit. The Marine NRM unit combines Australia's Territorial Sea (from 3 nautical miles to 12 nautical miles) and Australia's Exclusive Economic Zone (to 200 nautical miles) as well as Ashmore and Cartier Islands, Christmas Island, Cocos Keeling Islands and Heard and McDonald Islands. It excludes coastal waters (to 3 nautical miles) which are part of the terrestrial RDP management units. It also excludes the Australian Antarctic Territory and Norfolk Island.The 2022 version was derived from the former NRM regions series (latest version was 2020), originally established in 2006 as the "Natural Heritage Trust II (NHT2) Region Boundaries" dataset. Changes to the 2020 version in creating the 2022 version include the following.Natural Resource Management Regions- 'Adelaide and Mount Lofty Ranges' NRM_Region split into 'Green Adelaide' and 'Hills ad Fleurieu'- Added two new NRM_IDs (4011 for Green Adelaide and 4012 for Hills ad Fleurieu)Regional Delivery Partner management units- Changed 'National Landcare Program Management Units' to 'Regional Delivery Partners for Environmental Protection, Sustainable Agriculture and Natural Resource Management Services' - 'Adelaide and Mount Lofty Ranges' split into 'Green Adelaide' and 'Hills ad Fleurieu'- Added two new RDP_IDs (4011 for Green Adelaide and 4012 for Hills ad Fleurieu)- 'Torres Strait', 'Green Adelaide' and 'Marine NRM' added * to match note *management unit covered through other financial arrangements- 'South West Queensland', 'Maranoa Balonne and Border Rivers' and 'Condamine' combined into 'Southern Queensland' with light grey dotted line to denote NRM borders.- Added the following fields to differentiate RDPs from NRMs- -RDP_ID- -RDP_NAME- -RDP_DESC (Previously AREA_DESC)- -RIPP- 'Torres Strait' and 'Green Adelaide' symbology changed to grey hatched filling. - The management units are coloured based on their overlap with the remote Indigenous Procurement Policy area (RIPP).- Remote management units are orange – to be incl. the management unit needed to have more than 50% overlap with the RIPP. - Non-remote management units are green- *Management units covered through other financial arrangements management units are grey with hatchingPrevious VersionsThe 2020 version NLP Management Units dataset contained 58 separate map objects. These comprised: 56 mainland Management Units; a separate object for Lord Howe Island (part of North Coast, NSW Management Unit); and a "Marine NRM" Management Unit which combined Australia's Territorial Sea (from 3 nautical miles to 12 nautical miles) and Australia's Exclusive Economic Zone (to 200 nautical miles). It excluded coastal waters (to 3 nautical miles) which are part of the terrestrial NLP Management Units. It also excluded Ashmore & Cartier Islands, Australian Antarctic Territory, Christmas Island, Cocos & Keeling Islands, Macquarie Island, Heard & MacDonald Islands and Norfolk Island, and those parts of Australia's Territorial Sea and Exclusive Economic Zone that surround these locations.The 2020 version was derived from the former NRM regions series, originally established in 2006 as the "Natural Heritage Trust II (NHT2) Region Boundaries" dataset. The 2017 version, from which the 2020 version was developed, was itself an update to 2016 v2 in which changes were made to boundaries of six of Western Australia’s seven NRM regions, and region names in Qld, Tas and WA.
