Abstract |
This data is a compilation of existing vegetation mapping within the Lower Hunter region. Additional vegetation surveying has been undertaken in Cessnock LGA to refine existing mapping products. This data was compiled on behalf of the Australian Government's, Department of the Environment and Energy by Parsons Brinckerhoff Pty Ltd. The GIS mapping data were obtained to inform sustainability planning for the Lower Hunter region, particularly to assist in informing the NSW Government review of the NSW Lower Hunter Regional Growth Plan and Lower Hunter Regional Conservation Plan. Once this review is complete, the second stage is to undertake a strategic assessment of proposed urban development and related infrastructure corridors. The NSW Government has entered into an agreement with the Commonwealth to conduct a strategic assessment of proposed urban development and related infrastructure corridors. While reasonable efforts have been made to ensure that the contents of this dataset are factually correct, the Australian Government does not accept responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of the contents, and shall not be liable for any loss or damage that may be occasioned directly or indirectly through the use of, or reliance on, the contents of this dataset. This data is a compilation of existing vegetation mapping within the Lower Hunter region. Additional vegetation surveying has been undertaken in Cessnock LGA to refine existing mapping products. Existing vegetation mapping projects within the region were reviewed and prioritised according to their resolution, detail and accuracy based on the desktop review and stakeholder consultation. This prioritisation was used to determine priority of mapping when merging the mapping data layers into a single mapping product for the entire region of Lower Hunter. The compiled mapping was standardised by correlating each vegetation map unit to the draft Plant Community Type (PCT) being developed by the NSW Office of Environment and Heritage. (VIS_ID 4513) |

Lineage |
Data is a combination of various identified existing vegetation GIS datasets across the Lower Hunter LGA area. Within these existing datasets areas of vegetation requiring further investigation throughout the Cessnock were identified and field surveyed to improve accuracy. Field results were integrated into the compiled data, modified to reflect existing attribute standards and aligned to supplied 1:100000 (50cm pixel) 2011 ADS40 Imagery. The datasets used were: 'Blue Gum Hills Vegetation', 1997; Bell S & Driscoll C 2007, Vegetation of the Cessnock-Kurri Region, Cessnock LGA, New South Wales: Survey, Classification & Mapping, Unpublished report to the Department of Environment & Climate Change; Bell S 2009, 'Vegetation and floristics of Columbey National Park, lower Hunter Valley, New South Wales', Cunninghamia, vol. 11, no. 2, pp. 241-75; Bell S 2006, Glenrock State Recreation Area and Awabakal Nature Reserve Vegetation Survey; Bell S & Driscoll C 2006a, Vegetation mapping of Watagans National Park and Jilliby State Conservation Area Parks and Wildlife Division and Department of Environment and Conservation; Lower Hunter and Central Coast Regional Environmental Management Strategy 2003a, Lower Hunter and Central Coast Regional Biodiversity Conservation Strategy Technical Report 2003, Digital Aerial Photo Interpretation and Updated Extant Vegetation Community Map, Lower Hunter and Central Coast Regional Environmental Management Strategy, Callaghan, NSW; Bell S & Driscoll C 2012, Vegetation mapping of Lake Macquarie LGA: Stages 1-3, Lake Macquarie City Council; Hill L 2003, The Natural Vegetation of the Maitland LGA, New South Wales, Maitland; EcoLogical Australia 2003, An Investigation and Description of the Vegetation of the Pambalong Swamp (Pambalong Nature Reserve).
