Abstract:This project collated EEC information from a series of EEC specific and broader vegetation mapping projects to produce a composite EEC map for the Shoalhaven, Eurobodalla and Bega Valley local government areas.
The spatial data is closely correlated with the Biometric vegetation map (refer to Appendix C1). However there may be some minor differences in extent based on the addition of EEC specific datasets which were not able to be correlated with a specific Biometric vegetation type. As such, both the Biometric and EEC layer should be used together as required. EEC is a category of threatened ecological Community (TEC). EECs in this map are listed under the NSW Threatened Species Conservation Act, 1995.
Version 2, with amendments based on field verification and external review. VIS_ID 3901
Purpose:This project aimed to produce a vegetation map to the Biometric vegetation type classification to assist the Shoalhaven City Council, Eurobodalla Shire Council, Bega Valley Shire Council, the Southern Rivers CMA and OEH regulatory groups in making a range of decisions related to these legislation. Additionally, the Biometric map combined with a series of specific Endangered Ecological Community (EEC) maps have been used to develop an EEC map.
