Spatial Layer of Probable Vegetation Groundwater Dependent Ecosystems in NSW

The purpose of this project is to create a data set that identifies vegetation communities that have a probability of being a groundwater dependent ecosystem within NSW. Probability categories are high, medium, low and non GDE. The data is required to meet legislative requirements for water sharing plans and water resource plans. This is a base data layer that can be used to aid research projects, assessment of state significant development applications, licence applications and compliance issues. For ease of data modelling and management, the dataset was divided into the following catchment management areas; Border Rivers-Gwydir, Central Tablelands, Central West, Hawkesbury-Nepean, Hunter-Central Rivers, Lachlan, Lower Murray Darling, Murray-Murrumbidgee, Namoi, Northern Rivers, Southern Rivers, Sydney Metro and Western Division (Far West and Western MDBA).

Please note: Groundwater Dependent Ecosystem mapping used the NSW DPE Environment and Heritage vegetation mapping product as the underlying data source. NSW DPE Water activities such as bore applications that are examined at a site specific scale may need subsequent verification to confirm.
