Title

Threatened Ecological Communities Greater Sydney

Abstract

Map of 35 NSW-listed threatened ecological communities (TECs) within Greater Sydney. The map is derived from a number of best available mapping products and expert input. While the distribution of a number of TECs extends beyond Greater Sydney, their distribution beyond the study area is not represented in this map, with two exceptions: the Blue Mountains Basalt Forest and Pittwater and Wagstaffe Spotted Gum Forest TECs.

The methodology and scale of best available sources used to derive the map vary, with concomitant variation in currency, coverage, spatial precision and attribution accuracy. There are known gaps in coverage due to the lack of mapping sources in some locations within the study area (including, but not limited to the Grose Valley near Wollangambe, Ebenezer, Cattai, west of Mulgoa and west of Thirlmere). Limitations of this map include: areas not identified as TEC may be TEC, areas identified as TEC may not be TEC, and areas identified as a TEC may be a different TEC. Accordingly, property-scale assessments should inform activities, plans and proposals at the property scale.

Mapping is updated frequently via expert input. The map data informs the Biodiversity Values Map, Native Vegetation Regulatory Map, Rural Fire Service 10/50 tool and High Environmental Values Greater Sydney map.

For more information about the map, refer to the report 'Map of threatened ecological communities in Greater Sydney'.
