Native Vegetation Management (NVM) - Restore Benefits

Identifies areas across NSW where the greatest benefit to NSW plant biodiversity is achieved by restoring native vegetation

This layer is one of four approaches to vegetation management, comprising:

  • Manage benefits highlights remaining examples of highly cleared vegetation types
  • Improve benefits highlights where remaining examples of highly cleared vegetation types can be improved in condition
  • Restore benefits highlights where to restore highly cleared vegetation types in cleared landscapes
  • Landscape benefits highlights areas that contribute to the connectivity between extant native vegetation. Includes existing vegetation and locations to restore lost linkages.

Version 1.0 (2012)

produced for the Draft NSW Biodiversity Strategy (see this report). Data is relevant to 2012

Version 2.2 (2020)

produced for data relevant to 2017 and 2020. The 2020 data only differs from 2017 by incorporating fire extent and severity data. Future updates of the layer will reflect whatever ecological recovery has occurred by that date
