Abstract

NSW Private Land Conservation Agreements (NSW PLC Agreements) is an authoritative dataset that brings together all private protected areas administered by the NSW Biodiversity Conservation Trust (BCT). It replaces a previous dataset known as ‘BCT Agreements’ which was first released by the BCT in 2019.

NSW PLC Agreements organises private protected areas into a single layer with geometric overlaps between different agreement types. The dataset spatially represents the boundaries of agreements made under the Biodiversity Conservation Act 2016 and preceding legislation. Individual Deeds of Agreement should be consulted for specific information about the extent of the subject land and legal obligations of the land owner.

Agreements entered into under the BC Act are registered on the land title, binding current and successive landowners. Agreements established under preceding legislation may not be registered on title.

Three agreement types are represented in the dataset (1) Biodiversity Stewardship Agreements (BSA) (formerly BioBanking agreements), (2) Conservation Agreements (CA), and (3) Wildlife Refuge Agreements (WRA).

The dataset is for internal use only, and is not for public distribution or display.

Lineage

The dataset was first compiled in 2019 by assembling available spatial data for agreements executed under the NSW Biodiversity Conservation Act 2016 and preceding legislation. Agreement types represented include:

  • Biodiversity Stewardship Agreements (Biodiversity Conservation Act 2016)
  • Conservation Agreements (Biodiversity Conservation Act 2016)
  • Wildlife Refuge Agreements (Biodiversity Conservation Act 2016)
  • BioBanking agreements (Threatened Species Conservation Act 1995)
  • Nature Conservation Trust Agreements (Nature Conservation Trust Act 2001)
  • Registered Property Agreements (Native Vegetation Conservation Act 1997)
  • Voluntary Conservation Agreements (National Parks and Wildlife Act 1974)
  • Wildlife Refuges (National Parks and Wildlife Act 1974)

The dataset is maintained in the BCT enterprise geodatabase. At quarterly intervals the dataset is updated which involves adding new agreements, or variation records, and changing the status of agreements that have ended. Records are reconciled so there is alignment with the Deeds of Agreement, and records in the BCT CRM. Once the layer is updated, a subset of ‘in-effect’ agreements are extracted and posted to the DCCEEW corporate database as a new authoritative edition of PLC Agreements or use by stakeholders.
