Illawarra Plant Community Type Vegetation Map, 2016. VIS_ID 4678

This layer is a compilation of native vegetation mapping products in the Wollongong, Shellharbour and Kiama local government areas. The layer was originally compiled as a key dataset for input to the Illawarra Biodiversity Investment Opportunities Map (BIO Map). To compile the layer a series of previously existing maps were stitched together and map units assigned to NSW Plant Community Types (PCTs) as held in the BioNet Vegetation Classification database and incorporated into biobanking tools as at 31st December 2016. Map units have also been related to threatened ecological communities listed under the NSW TSC Act (1995) and the Commonwealth EPBC Act (1999) as at 31st December 2016. VIS_ID 4678

Purpose The purpose of this map product is to provide a single layer of vegetation mapping in Wollongong, Kiama and Shellharbour local government areas that has a consistent language of Plant Community Types (PCTs) and consistent identification of Threatened Ecological Communities (TECs). The map is designed to relate to the objectives of the OEH vegetation information systems and to assist users with the assessment of TECs. It is designed to be used in conjunction with other sources on native vegetation in the study area including existing literature, field investigations and TEC determinations. Precautions are required when using the TEC data; the mapping provides a guide only and does not preclude the need for individual assessment of TEC status at a site scale.
