Abstract

This data and its metadata statement were supplied to the Bioregional Assessment Programme by a third party and are represented here as originally supplied.

These map data contain a subset of NSW & Commonwealth listed Critically Endangered Ecological Communities (CEEC) within NSW. This version (version 3) replaces previous versions. Version 1 only contained NSW CEECs. Further details regarding the updating of previous versions are provided under Lineage. This composite map was derived from the extraction of relevant vegetation map units contained in a variety of existing vegetation maps held in the Office of Environment and Heritage (OEH) VIS (Vegetation Information System) Map Catalogue. Please note that not all Listed CEECs are currently represented in this dataset. Reasons include: 1. the CEEC has not yet been mapped; 2. the CEEC has been mapped but the source data are not yet openly available (see Supplemental Information for details). Further CEECs may be added in future versions of this dataset. Note, there is no formal process in place to guarantee correction in the source maps that are transferred to this composite map product. Ecological communities are included in the critically endangered category of the Threatened Species Conservation Act, 1995, if they are facing an extremely high risk of extinction in NSW in the immediate future. Critically Endangered is also a category under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act, 1999.

Purpose

These data have been compiled to provide a machine readable flag for the likely occurrence of a Critically Endangered Ecological Community at a location. This data was initially complied by OEH for use in NSW Rural Fire Service planning and assessment tools, But has broader application.

Dataset History

Additional metadata

It is expected that further CEECs will be added to these data. All source map datasets are referenced in the attribute table of this data layer. All source datasets are are identified with a VIS-ID number, and can be downloaded from the OEH Open Data Portal. The following CEECs (NSW) have not been included. Please contact the data custodian for access: 1. Hygrocybeae Community of Lane Cove Bushland Park in the Sydney Basin Bioregion - not mapped (contact Lane Cove Council) 2. Kincumber Scribbly Gum Forest in the Sydney Basin Bioregion - contact Gosford City Council In addition, whilst the following CEECs are included in this version, the spatial coverage may be extended by additional mapping data, as listed below: 1. Blue Gum High Forest in the Sydney Basin Bioregion - Lane Cove LGA (contact Lane Cove Council); Hornsby Shire (contact Hornsby Shire Council) 2. Shale Sandstone Transition Forest in the Sydney Basin Bioregion - Blue Mountains LGA (contact Blue Mountains City Council); Hornsby Shire (contact Hornsby Shire Council) Attributes: Orig_MapUnitCode - map unit identifier from source map Orig_MapUnitName - map name identifier from source map CEEC_NSW - LUT (yes/no); indicates whether a map unit is a CEEC (NSW) CEEC_EPBC - LUT (yes/no); indicates whether a map unit is a CEEC (Commonwealth) CEEC_NSW_Name - NSW CEEC name CEEC_EPBC_Name - EPBC CEEC name Comments - indicates if the source map unit was also shown as a TEC in the source data attribute table RFS1050 - LUT (yes/no); indicates if a map unit is specified under RFS 10/50 code

The NSW Administrative Boundaries Web Service is a dynamic map of administrative and property boundaries. Administrative Areas Boundaries depict a polygon feature class within the NSW Digital Cadastral Database maintained by Spatial Services (DCS). The administrative boundaries provided through this web service includes: Counties, Suburbs, Parishes, Local Government Areas, State Forests, National Parks, State Electoral Districts.

The Connected Corridors for Biodiversity project (CCB), funded by the Australian Government through the Sydney Coastal Council Group’s (SCCG) Salty Communities program, has been implemented by the Southern Sydney Regional Organisation of Councils (SSROC) in collaboration with Greater Sydney Local Land Services (GS LLS). The project encompasses the 23 pre-amalgamation Council areas. One of the aims of the project was to to produce a habitat corridor map, based largely on existing habitat mapping, for use by these Councils as a tool to facilitate increased habitat connectivity across the project area, and to thereby increase resilience of biodiversity to climate change and other threats.

Abstract

This dataset and its metadata statement were supplied to the Bioregional Assessment Programme by a third party and are presented here as originally supplied.

Local Land Services brings together agricultural production advice, biosecurity, natural resource management and emergency management into a single organisation. Department of Primary Industries' extension arm, Catchment Management Authorities (CMA) and Livestock Health and Pest Authorities (LHPA).

Eleven LLS regions, managed by 11 local boards cover NSW: Central Tablelands, Central West, Greater Sydney, Hunter, Murray, North Coast, Northern Tablelands, North West, Riverina, South East and Western regions.

Local Land Services regional boundaries were determined in 2013 following extensive community consultation. Each LLS region is a collation of Local Government Areas (LGA), with four exceptions where the LGA is split across two LLS regions. Those exceptions occur in Bogan, Carrathool, Hay and Jerilderie local council areas. www.lls.nsw.gov.au/our-regions/whats-my-region

LLS boundaries supercede the former CMA boundaries

Previous Hornsby Vegetation mapping was completed in 2008. There are substantial changes in the mapped polygons on the urban-bushland boundary based on the updated imagery and map rules. New mapping thresholds are designed to address Council’s information needs arising from new regulations governing vegetation management in NSW, in particular the 10/50 bushfire protection rule. These were developed in consultation with Council and tested in a trial area prior to mapping. The map has been compiled using visual aerial photo interpretation of 2014 imagery and botanical review. New field work has included collect rapid floristic data at selected survey locations. The update incorporates other sources of field survey and vegetation mapping completed between 2008 and 2017. The map is approximately 1:25,000 scale. The Hornsby Vegetation Map 2017 applies the existing, accepted vegetation classification established in Smith and Smith Hornsby Vegetation Map 2008 Update. Two updates are provided with the addition of a new code for mixed ‘urban native/ exotic’ patches (consistent with Sydney Metropolitan vegetation mapping that overlaps part of the study area (OEH 2015)) and an updated classification equivalence table necessitated by changes to NSW plant community types. Modified, predominantly native vegetation has been attributed with the closest, applicable native vegetation and denoted as disturbed. In areas identified as ‘urban native/ exotic’ the proportion of exotics is highly variable. Field validation is recommended to support land management decisions in these areas. The 2017 map has identified 17,005 ha of vegetation including 664 ha of EEC and 653 ha of ‘urban native/ exotic’ vegetation in the study area. In addition, the map includes 231 ha of potential relictual EEC subject to field validation. A direct comparison of changes to vegetation extent between 2008 and 2017 are not possible due to differing map methods. All maps have limitations and field validation is recommended for detailed site planning and to verify the presence of vegetation types, particularly communities or species listed under the NSW Threatened Species Conservation Act 1994 or Commonwealth Environmental Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1996. Air photo interpretation is limited to a ‘birds eye view’ and may not detect changes in vegetation composition observable from field survey. Approximately 21% of the map has been validated by current and previous authors. It is recommended that the Hornsby Vegetation Map 2017 is reviewed after one year in circulation. This will provide an opportunity to collate user feedback and identify minor edits required and any major revisions arising. Changes to the NSW PCT database may be incorporated at that time.
