Title

Interim Biogeographic Regionalisation of Australia (IBRA) Version 4.1, NSW Subset

Alternative title(s)

IBRA v4

Abstract

PLEASE NOTE: IBRA 4.1 is a historical dataset and has been superseded by subsequent versions. IBRA Version 4.1 is regarded as the best available GIS representation of the original IBRA Version 4.0 map presented in Thackway and Cresswell (1995). This product is referenced in the Determinations of Threatened Species under the New South Wales (NSW) Threatened Species Conservation Act (1995) made before March 2013.

IBRA regions represent a landscape based approach to classifying the land surface of Australia from a range of continental data on environmental attributes. The dataset is derived from data and information provided from State and Territory Nature Conservation agencies regionalisations and aggregated to 80 biogeographic regions for Australia. These biogeographic regions have been delineated, each reflecting a unifying set of major environmental influences which shape the occurrence of flora and fauna and their interaction with the physical environment.

Lineage

The IBRA boundaries have varied mapping accuracy from a scale of 1:250 000 to 1:3 000 000. The compilation scale is 1:3 000 000 and should not be used for mapping finer than this scale. These data contain the biogeographic regions of Australia which were jointly defined by the State, Territory and Commonwealth nature conservation agencies. Some regions are at the scale of sub-regions or environmental provinces.

The minimum mapping unit is 2km x 2km;

The coverage includes the AUSLIG 1:100 000 coastline with islands greater than approximately 2km x 2km and State and Territory borders.;
