Title

NSW State Vegetation Type Map (Pre-Clearing)

Abstract

This Pre-Clearing map represents the pre-clearing extent of the State Vegetation Type Map (SVTM). Both SVTM and SVTM (Pre-Clearing) map each Plant Community Type, Vegetation Class and Vegetation Formation at a regional scale across all tenures in NSW. Pre-clearing PCT mapping is available for both eastern NSW and Far Western NSW. Coverage of Central NSW is a work in progress.

Pre-clearing extent of PCTs was developed using a combination of aerial photographic interpretation, environmental layers and historical documents. This map is updated periodically as part of the Integrated BioNet Vegetation Data program to improve quality and alignment to the NSW vegetation classification hierarchy.

Further information and technical documents about the SVTM is available from the State Vegetation Type Mapping Program Page

Current Release C2.0M2.0 (December 2023)

This release includes revisions, using the most recent NSW PCT Classification Masterlist (represented by “C2.0” in the version release number). PCT spatial distributions were manually edited based on user and community feedback since the previous C1.1.M1.1 release.

Detailed technical information is available here.

Data Access

Map data may be downloaded, viewed within the SEED Map Viewer, or accessed via the underlying ArcGIS REST Services or WMS for integration in GIS or business applications.

The Trees Near Me NSW app provides quick access to view the map using a mobile device or desktop. Download the app from Google Play or the App Store, or access the web site at https://treesnearme.app.

Map Data Type

The map is supplied as ESRI Feature Class (Quickview) and 5m GeoTiff Raster, and can be viewed and analysed in most commercial and open-source spatial software packages. If you prefer to use the download package, we supply an ArcGIS v10.4 mxd and/or a layer file for suggested symbology. The raster attributes contain PCT, Vegetation Class and Vegetation Formation.

Feedback and Support

We welcome your feedback to assist us in continuously improving our products. To help us track and process your feedback, please use the SEED Data Feedback tool available via the SEED map viewer or the Feedback function in Trees Near Me NSW.

Lineage

This map was developed under the State Vegetation Type Map (SVTM) program and captures the first comprehensive Eastern NSW PCT map using the NSW Revised PCT Classification, compiled with existing SVTM maps to create a statewide PCT map. Pre-clearing extant for Central NSW will be delivered in 2025. Map methodologies for the for SVTM program are summarised here:
