High Environmental Values for the Illawarra-Shoalhaven Regional Plan Area

Abstract

This polygon shape file is a 1:25,000 – 1: 50 000 environmental dataset combining 5 criteria and a larger number of sub-criteria input data sources. These are outlined in the lineage statement. The input data sets identify agreed HEV criteria for the purposes of regional strategic planning and other environmental assessment projects that require identification of significant biodiversity values. This project was undertaken by Biodiversity Conservation and Science (DPIE, EES). The Illawarra High Environmental Values dataset covers the Illawarra-Shoalhaven Regional Plan 2041 area.

Purpose

The purpose of the project was to identify environmental criteria and values across the landscape that reflect current statutory and planning policy for the protection of the environment in planning matters. This allows the interrogation of the single dataset to identify various environmental criteria/values for assessment on a landscape basis or in some cases, at the local planning stage. This dataset has been published as 'High Environmental Values for the Illawarra-Shoalhaven' in the Illawarra-Shoalhaven Regional Plan 2041.

Lineage

Purpose: High Environmental Value (HEV) mapping supports strategic planning processes by identifying areas with high environmental value at a landscape scale. HEV mapping can be used to: • Guide the intensification of development to appropriate areas to reduce future land use conflict. • Facilitate the restoration and rehabilitation of biodiversity values in strategic locations.

Note: HEV maps are intended for use at a landscape scale. Maps are not designed for use at a site scale. Ground truthing of HEV data at a site scale is required to verify the impact on high environmental values. High Environmental Value criteria: Criterion 1 – Sensitive biodiversity mapped on the Biodiversity Values Map Criterion 2 – Native vegetation of high conservation value • Over-cleared vegetation types • Vegetation in over-cleared landscapes (Mitchell landscapes) • Threatened Ecological Communities - any vulnerable, endangered, or critically endangered ecological community listed under the Biodiversity Conservation Act 2016, the Fisheries Management Act 1994 or the Environmental Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act • 100m buffer on Coastal Wetlands and Littoral Rainforest areas identified in the State Environmental Planning Policy (Coastal Management) 2018 Criterion 3 – Threatened species
• Key habitat for threatened species – any vulnerable, endangered or critically endangered species listed under the Biodiversity Conservation Act 2016 not mapped on the Biodiversity Values Map. Criterion 4 – Wetlands, rivers, estuaries & coastal features of high environmental value • Nationally important wetlands • Vulnerable Estuaries and ICOLLs Criterion 5 – Areas of geological significance • Karst landscapes • Sites of geological significance included in State Heritage Register or Heritage Inventory

Explanation

Geometry repair was undertaken in ArcGIS. Geometrical irregularities such as null geometry, duplicate vertices, unclosed rings and self intersections have been resolved.

DQ Absolute External Positional Accuracy

Explanation

Environmental Values for the Illawarra - Shoalhaven is a compilation a variety of input datasets. The absolute positional accuracy of component features will depend on the source of that information.
