Title

Map of Critically Endangered Ecological Communities NSW Version 6.0

Alternative title(s)

CEEC_NSW

Abstract

As of 05 May 2021 this map data has been superseded for operational use by Threatened Ecological Communities Greater Sydney. The CEEC product is no longer being maintained.

These map data contain a subset of NSW and Commonwealth listed Critically Endangered Ecological Communities (CEEC) within NSW. Version 6.0 (February 2020) contains minor adjustments to reflect change in NSW listing status of Sydney Turpentine-Ironbark Forest in the Sydney Basin Bioregion from EEC to CEEC. Version 1 only contained NSW CEECs. Further details regarding the updating of previous versions are provided under Lineage.

This composite map was derived from the extraction of relevant vegetation map units contained in a variety of existing vegetation maps held in the Office of Environment and Heritage (OEH) VIS (Vegetation Information System) Map Catalogue. Please note that not all Listed CEECs are currently represented in this dataset. Reasons include:

  1. the CEEC has not yet been mapped;
  2. the CEEC has been mapped but the source data are not yet openly available (see Supplemental Information for details).

Further CEECs may be added in future versions of this dataset.

Note, there is no formal process in place to guarantee correction in the source maps that are transferred to this composite map product.

Ecological communities are included in the critically endangered category of the Threatened Species Conservation Act, 1995, if they are facing an extremely high risk of extinction in NSW in the immediate future. Critically Endangered is also a category under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act, 1999.

Purpose

These data have been compiled to provide a machine readable flag for the likely occurrence of a Critically Endangered Ecological Community at a location. This data was initially compiled by OEH for use in NSW Rural Fire Service planning and assessment tools, but has broader application.

Additional information source

It is expected that further CEECs will be added to these data. All source map datasets are referenced in the attribute table of this data layer. All source datasets are are identified with a VIS_ID number, and can be downloaded from the OEH Open Data Portal. The following CEECs (NSW) have not been included. Please contact the data custodian for access: 1. Hygrocybeae Community of Lane Cove Bushland Park in the Sydney Basin Bioregion - not mapped (contact Lane Cove Council); 2. Kincumber Scribbly Gum Forest in the Sydney Basin Bioregion - contact Gosford City Council. In addition, whilst the following CEECs are included in this version, the spatial coverage may be extended by additional mapping data, listed as follows: 1. Blue Gum High Forest in the Sydney Basin Bioregion - Lane Cove LGA (contact Lane Cove Council); Attributes: Orig_MapUnitCode - map unit identifier from source map; Orig_MapUnitName - map name identifier from source map; CEEC_NSW - LUT (yes/no) - indicates whether a map unit is a CEEC (NSW); CEEC_EPBC - LUT (yes/no) - indicates whether a map unit is a CEEC (Commonwealth); CEEC_NSW_Name - NSW CEEC name; CEEC_EPBC_Name - EPBC CEEC name; Comments - indicates if the source map unit was also shown as a TEC in the source data attribute table; RFS1050 - LUT(yes/no) - indicates if a map unit is specified under RFS 10/50 code

Lineage

The dataset was derived from extraction of relevant vegetation map units from data held in the VIS (Vegetation Information System) Map catalogue. The data sources are shown in the table below:

Version 3 updates Version 2 by: 1. correction of minor attribute errors 2. addition of attribute field, "RFS1050";

Version 3.1 updates version 3 by: 1. correction of minor attribute errors;

Version 4 updates version 3.1 by: 1. addition of CEECs for Hornsby LGA.

Version 5 updates version 4 by: 1. addition of CEECs (Shale Sandstone Transition Forest in the Sydney Basin Bioregion) for Hawkesbury LGA. 2. addition of CEECs (remnant trees) for Hornsby LGA

Version 6.0 updates version 5 by: 1. change in attribution of Sydney Turpentine-Ironbark Forest in the Sydney Basin Bioregion NSW list in status from EEC to CEEC, and setting RFS1050 = Y
