Resource Dataset Details

Abstract:   GHD Pty Ltd (GHD) has been engaged by Kempsey Shire Council (KSC) to prepare a Vegetation Distribution Map and Endangered Ecological Communities Map for the portion of the Shire west of the Pacific Highway. A list of potential EECs identified as occurring within the Kempsey LGA was determined based on OEHs Threatened Species, Populations and Ecological Communities Profiles database correlated with structural and floristic composition. VIS_ID 375

Purpose:   The vegetation mapping exercise for the western portion of Kempsey Shire will provide council with an effective ‘tool’ to assist in planning for future growth and conservation of biodiversity values as well as determine potential areas of Endangered Ecological Communities (EECs).

Data Quality

Lineage:   Sites identified as potential EEC's were recorded in the field as applicable. Incidental observations of EEC's were also recorded. FE's and Keith types identified as EEC's were also used during post-field mapping to predict the potential location of EEC's. Potential EEC's within the Kempsey LGA include: A. Eastern Redgums (FE - 46) - FE may include Subtropical Coastal Floodplain Forest; B. Escarpment Redgum (FE - 47) - FE may include River-Flat Eucalypt Forest on Coastal Floodplain; C. Swamp Oak Forest (FE - 143 potential 120) - FE may include both Swamp Oak Forest and Swamp Sclerophyll Forest on Coastal Floodplain as listed under TSC Act. FE 46 and 47 are only considered EEC's when located in the floodplain, within riparian zones and below approx 250m above sea level (taken from OEH threatened species description). The following assumptions have therefore been included in completing EEC map: A. All relevant FE's within the floodplain (considered to be downstream of Willawarrin for this exercise) that may be an EEC have been included in the map; B. Only relevant FE's upstream of Willawarrin within 200m 'either side of each drainage line' have been included in the map; and C. Only relevant FE's below 250m above sea level have been included in the map.
