Abstract |
The Biodiversity Values Map (BV Map) identifies land with high biodiversity value that is particularly sensitive to impacts from development and clearing. The BV Map is one of the triggers for determining whether the Biodiversity Offset Scheme (BOS) applies to a clearing or development proposal. The BV Map has been prepared by the Department of Planning and Environment (DPE) under Part 7 of the Biodiversity Conservation Act 2016 (BC Act). A range of mapping layers are included in the BV map. These mapping layers have been developed and are maintained by a range of agencies and councils. The inclusion of these layers on the BV map requires the approval of the Environment Agency Head or delegate. The BV Map shows areas that have been added in the last 90 days as the BOS does not apply to development proposals lodged within this time period. Areas that no longer meet one of the criteria for being included on the BV map will also be removed in map updates. It is planned to update the BV Map quarterly, however users of the BV Map are strongly encouraged to visit the BMAT website and BMAT Tool viewer regularly to be up to date with the latest version and other related information. The spatial data for this version is available from the Web Service (see link below). The latest version of the BV map can be viewed in the Biodiversity Values Map and Threshold (BMAT) Tool (see URL link below). More information on the BV map is available at - https://www.environment.nsw.gov.au/biodiversity/biodiversity-values-map.htm |

DQ Completeness Commission |
|
Effective date |
2018-09-10 |
Explanation |
Biodiversity Values feature is clipped to ensure it does not occur outside the subject area. |
DQ Completeness Omission |
|
Effective date |
2018-09-10 |
Explanation |
A number of Serious and Irreversible Impact species that are not yet included in the Biodiversity Values Map. These will be included over time in future updates to the map. Areas of threatened species habitat and connectivity of bioregional significance can be nominated by councils. OEH will develop guidelines to assist councils to prepare nominations. |
DQ Absolute External Positional Accuracy |
|
Effective date |
2018-09-10 |
Explanation |
In some instances positional accuracy is comprised due to inaccuracy in input layers, in particular Cadastre and LEP data. |
DQ Non Quantitative Attribute Correctness |
|
Explanation |
None known errors in attributing. |
