NPWS Operation Branch Boundaries |
Abstract |
The National Parks and Wildlife Service Operation Branches is a polygon layer that includes the eight administration branches that were announced 16 December 2016 - North Coast, Northern Inland, Hunter Central Coast, Greater Sydney, Blue Mountains, South Coast, Southern Ranges and West Branches. The boundaries encompass the NPWS estate and heritage sites that are managed by each of the 4 -5 Areas within the Branch. NPWS staff that work in each administration Branch report to a Director. The boundaries came into effect 16 December 2016 but have been adjusted slightly over the months following. They were finalised October 2017. |

Lineage |
The Branches layer was created by editing the existing NPWS Regions layer which was originally built from a NSW polygon layer. Certain Regions were merged and then their boundaries edited many times over the following two years from input by Directors. The boundaries follow existing admin boundaries, roads, LGAs and, at times, watercourses. Where possible reserves or potential reserves were included wholly on one side of the boundary to assist in cleaner reporting. Obviously for the larger parks along the Great Dividing Range in particular, this was not possible as management has to consider road access. |
