Lower Hunter Vegetation Mapping, 2013. VIS_ID 4513

This data is a compilation of existing vegetation mapping within the Lower Hunter region. Additional vegetation surveying has been undertaken in Cessnock LGA to refine existing mapping products.\r\nThis data was compiled on behalf of the Australian Government's, Department of the Environment and Energy by Parsons Brinckerhoff Pty Ltd.\r\nThe GIS mapping data were obtained to inform sustainability planning for the Lower Hunter region, particularly to assist in informing the NSW Government review of the NSW Lower Hunter Regional Growth Plan and Lower Hunter Regional Conservation Plan. Once this review is complete, the second stage is to undertake a strategic assessment of proposed urban development and related infrastructure corridors. The NSW Government has entered into an agreement with the Commonwealth to conduct a strategic assessment of proposed urban development and related infrastructure corridors. While reasonable efforts have been made to ensure that the contents of this dataset are factually correct, the Australian Government does not accept responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of the contents, and shall not be liable for any loss or damage that may be occasioned directly or indirectly through the use of, or reliance on, the contents of this dataset. This data is a compilation of existing vegetation mapping within the Lower Hunter region. Additional vegetation surveying has been undertaken in Cessnock LGA to refine existing mapping products. Existing vegetation mapping projects within the region were reviewed and prioritised according to their resolution, detail and accuracy based on the desktop review and stakeholder consultation. This prioritisation was used to determine priority of mapping when merging the mapping data layers into a single mapping product for the entire region of Lower Hunter. The compiled mapping was standardised by correlating each vegetation map unit to the draft Plant Community Type (PCT) being developed by the NSW Office of Environment and Heritage. (VIS_ID 4513)

该数据集整合了下亨特（Lower Hunter）地区现有的植被制图成果。为优化现有制图产品，已在塞斯诺克地方政府区域（Cessnock LGA）开展了补充植被调查。
本数据集由帕森斯布林克霍夫私人有限公司（Parsons Brinckerhoff Pty Ltd）受澳大利亚政府环境与能源部委托编制。
获取该GIS（地理信息系统）制图数据旨在为下亨特地区的可持续发展规划提供信息支持，特别是协助新南威尔士州（NSW）政府审查《新南威尔士州下亨特区域增长规划》和《下亨特区域保护规划》。审查完成后，第二阶段将对拟议的城市发展及相关基础设施走廊开展战略评估。新南威尔士州政府已与联邦政府（the Commonwealth）达成协议，对拟议的城市发展及相关基础设施走廊进行战略评估。尽管已尽合理努力确保本数据集内容真实准确，但澳大利亚政府不对内容的准确性或完整性承担责任，也不对因使用或依赖本数据集内容而直接或间接造成的任何损失或损害承担责任。该数据集整合了下亨特地区现有的植被制图成果。为优化现有制图产品，已在塞斯诺克地方政府区域开展了补充植被调查。基于桌面审查和利益相关方咨询结果，本地区现有植被制图项目按分辨率、详细程度和准确性进行了审查与优先级排序。在将各制图数据层合并为覆盖整个下亨特地区的单一制图产品时，上述优先级排序被用于确定制图的优先级。通过将每个植被图单元与新南威尔士州环境与遗产办公室正在制定的植物群落类型草案（Plant Community Type, PCT）进行关联，已完成制图的标准化处理。（VIS_ID 4513）
