Abstract |
Fine-scale mapping of vegetation, including Endangered Ecological Communities (EECs) and Koala habitat across the Local Government Area (LGA). The mapping fulfills a fundamental requirement for the development of a Biodiversity Management Strategy (BMS) by Lismore City Council. The LGA was divided into three zones, designated by colour, reflecting differing levels of available background information, potential for landuse to conflict with biodiversity objectives and other threats. NPWS Estate including National Parks (NPs), Nature Reserves (NRs) and State Conservation Areas (SCAs) as well as State Forests (SFs) were outside the scope of the mapping project. Original field work was undertaken between November 2010 and June 2011. The mapping project commenced in Nov 2017 using 2009 aerial photography along with Sept 2012 imagery limited to the rural villages of Modanville, Dunoon and Nimbin. From May 2018 onwards the project used high resolution aerial photography taken in April 2018. Vegetation was classified by API mainly on the basis of spatial patterns, texture and colour calibrated by field observations. Non-plantation vegetation polygons were assigned to vegetation units on the basis of canopy dominant species. Vegetation communities were placed in Keith formations and classes. Vegetation condition was also recorded. Each vegetation polygon was assigned to a Koala habitat category based only on flora species present. A list of EECs reported or considered likely to occur in the LGA were also derived. A reliability code was allocated to each mapped polygon, according to the source of the data and/or the manner in which data was collected. VIS_ID 4479 |

Lineage |
The aim of the project was to produce fine scale vegetation mapping for the ‘Green Zone’ of the Lismore LGA identifying vegetation communities, endangered ecological communities and koala habitat. The mapping was to be completed using LPI high resolution digital photography. At the time the project was commissioned, aerial photography available for the study area was limited to the LGA-wide 2009 series (used for the 2011 vegetation mapping project). The project commenced in November 2017 using 2009 aerial photography, along with September 2012 imagery limited to the rural villages of Modanville, Dunoon and Nimbin. From May 2018 onwards, the project used high resolution aerial photography taken in April 2018. The project team comprised Annette McKinley (Landmark), Barbara Stewart (Landmark), Andrew Murray (A.S. Murray & Associates), and Wendy Neilan (LCC). Annette McKinley and Andrew Murray undertook the GIS work. Vegetation map derived from existing mapping, species lists, Scientific Committee Determinations for EECs, GIS layers (air photos, soils and geology, drainage, cadastre, zoning, landform, flood level). Existing mapping and species lists were used for reference; however, for consistency it was judged advisable and most efficient to apply the image analysis, air photo interpretation and field checking methods of the current project in the same manner across all vegetation in the study areas. 2021: Lismore Council requested the vegetation layer be made available to the public via SEED. Running through a topology check to include it in DPIE corporate systems it was found to have thousands of overlap errors (mainly minute slivers). The dataset was resupplied back to Landmark. Andrew Murray manually fixed each error and provided a clean dataset. To make sure, the ET GeoWizard tools "Clean Polygon Layer" was run over it again and this only showed one multi polygon that required splitting. Sliver gaps were not eliminated because, by nature of the fragmented vegetation coverage, there were too many valid gaps to do this assessment. |
