Title

NSW Landuse 2007

Abstract

A data set of land use between June 2000 and June 2007 for New South Wales. Land use is classified to three separate classification schemes. These classification schemes are:3

  • NSW Land Use Mapping Program (LUMAP).
  • NSW SCALD (Standard Classification for Attributes of Land) Classification
  • ALUM (Australian Land Use and Management) Classification.

The LUMAP Classification is DECC's most recent classification for mapping of land use classes for NSW. It is a simple numeric classification, open-ended to enable additional classes to be added.

Prior to LUMAP, the SCALD classification was the standard for mapping of land use in NSW. It is a combined alpha-numeric classification system.

The ALUM classification is based upon the modified Baxter & Russell classification and presented according to the specifications contained in http://adl.brs.gov.au/mapserv/landuse/index.cfm?fa=app.ALUMClassification.

Version 6 of the classification describes the land use classes. Earlier copies of the data set may have used Versions 4 or 5.

The mapping was commenced in April 2001 and completed by June 2007. The date of the data set is set as the land use occurring at the time the satellite imagery was acquired, which can range from 1999 to 2006. This dataset was updated in May 2011 to include values in the vacant attribute fields of Source, Source Date, Source Scale, Reliability and LU Mapping Date.

Lineage

The data set is a new series of land use maps prepared by DNR for eastern and central New South Wales.

Line work is prepared in two different ways depending upon the complexity of the land use patterns. For more complex land use patterns, the line work is drawn on 1:25 000 or 1:50 000 plots of satellite imagery.

For map sheets with less complex land use patterns, line work is created digitally. Existing digital data sets are imported using ArcGIS 9.1 and a composite land use polygon layer built. Where new line work is required this is digitised directly on to screen.

Information plotted onto the satellite imagery prior to mapping comprises: * the cadastral layer from the NSW Digital Cadastral Database * boundaries of State Forests, National Parks and Nature Reserves from the NSW Digital Cadastral Database * Property Agreements and Management Contracts funded under the NSW State Government's Native Vegetation Management Fund * clearing consents issued by the NSW Department of Infrastructure, Planning and Natural Resources for the establishment of hardwood, softwood or tea-tree plantations * land use information prepared as part of the mapping of native vegetation.

The ALUM classification defines three levels of land use description - primary, secondary and tertiary. For the majority of the land use descriptions is down to the tertiary level.

Mapping was undertaken directly onto the satellite imagery or rectified aerial photograph mosaics using the satellite imagery, aerial photography, existing data sets, local knowledge and field checking as the main data sources.

For map sheets so far completed, details of the aerial photography are: * Albury NSW4298 Runs 1-3, Flown 14.02.1996, Scale 1:50 000 * Araluen NSW 4461, 4463 & 4464, Runs 1-6, Flown

Patterns and spectral signatures in the Landsat 7 imagery, which comprise band combinations of 453 RGB multispectral merged with 12.5 metre pixel panchromatic provide specific recognition of a range of agricultural activities, namely cereal and fodder cropping, vegetable production (mostly potatoes), sugar cane and mature tree plantations. For other land use features such as newly established plantation (softwood, hardwood, tea-tree), intensive animal industries, farm dams, fish farms, extractive industries and coastal features including previously mined areas, barrier dunes, swamps and estuarine marshes, the main data sources are the aerial photographs, supplemented by field checking and local knowledge.

For the Bonalbo, Coaldale, Woodburn, Bare Point, Grafton, Dorrigo, Coffs Harbour, and part of the Macksville 1:100 000 map sheets, land use data from an existing data set was plotted onto the 2000 satellite imagery. This data set carries the title of 'Land Condition'. The land use data are based upon 1990-1 aerial photography and field checking between in 1997 and 2000. Land use classes were updated using the most recent aerial photography, the satellite imagery and land use data from other DECC data sets. In some areas, the data are remapped to conform to ALUM standards.

The DECC spatial database for Property Agreements and Management Contracts was used to identify the class 'other conserved areas' which are primarily private conservation agreements (Class 1.1.7). The same database for Clearing Consents was used to identify areas recently cleared and planted to softwood, hardwood or tea-tree in a well-defined plantation. The spectral signatures in the satellite imagery for these areas are the same as cultivated areas (if completely bare), grassland or young woody vegetation. Aerial photographs taken in 2000 or thereafter are used to confirm a satellite pattern that indicated the plantation is established.

Irrigation developments were identified from an existing DECC data set being prepared by staff at Inverell Resource Centre and Albury. Foreshore lands adjoining major dams previously owned and managed by DECC or its former organisations are identified from existing data held by the department.

Local knowledge is used for specific commodity types in orchards or on cultivated lands, specialised industries such as plant nurseries, local urban features and crops grown under irrigation.

Local information is obtained from the following sources:

  • district DECC, catchment management authority and Landcare officers
  • local landholders
  • officers of the NSW Department of Primary Industries
  • rural extension officers and/or managers with private stock and station agencies at Coolah, Dunedoo and Moonbi
  • internet advertising for specific industries and districts.

Field verification is carried out after the interpretation of the satellite imagery and aerial photographs. This is designed to confirm specific land uses such as: * rural residential lands * effluent disposal systems * vineyards, orchards, truffle plantings and olive groves and if they are irrigated on a permanent basis * specific commodity types in orchards * dairies, piggeries and poultry sheds * eucalyptus oil plantations * fish and yabby farms * evidence of previous cropping activities using the presence of stubble as an indicator * pasture improvement activities.

As part of the checking process a number of landholders are interviewed to provide further checks on the land use classification.

Decision Rules

  • In this project, the date of the land use data set is set as the date of the satellite imagery. The patterns and shapes of land use activities shown in the satellite imagery set the boundaries of the land use classes. Where the aerial photography post-dates the satellite imagery, specialised industries such as poultry farms and horticultural blocks that are newly established are determined by the date of photography;
  • A number of dairies are still in production in the project area. They were confirmed during the field inspections. The currency of this land use class is therefore set at the date of field inspection. Dairies are not visible in the satellite imagery and the older aerial photographs of 1998 are not reliable, even for 2000, as many dairies have ceased production over the last few years. Gate notices for tankers are the easiest way to confirm that the dairies are still producing.
  • Mapping of remnant native vegetation raises particular problems because of the differing perceptions of such terminology to potential users of the data. For this project, a number of criteria have been used to distinguish the different categories of native vegetation.

Blocks of trees where the canopy cover is greater than 50% are classified as 'grazing modified pastures' when the following circumstances apply:

  • the blocks are less than 100 ha in size and occur within a paddock or landscape where clearing is widespread
  • the sites are not fenced allowing livestock to move at random into the forested areas
  • tracks leading to or within the blocks can be observed
  • the blocks were previously burned or cut over and may now include extensive regeneration
  • dams have been constructed within these blocks as watering points for livestock
  • there is a complete absence of lower canopy and understorey species and ground litter.

Blocks of trees where the canopy cover is greater than 50% are classified as 'remnant native cover' when the following circumstances apply:

  • the blocks are greater than 100 ha in size
  • there is no apparent disturbance of the site, either by burning or previous logging, cutting over or thinning
  • the crowns of the trees are large and mature
  • very steep, broken or rocky terrain, offering very low to nil grazing capacity
  • absence of constructed dams
  • it is part of a contiguous unit classified as a forest or National Park.

Sites less than 100 ha in size are classified as 'remnant native cover' if field observations confirm that the understorey and ground cover species and/or ground litter are intact, with relatively low levels of disturbance.
