ACTGOV Tree Register

This polygon dataset shows the locations of provisionally registered and registered trees in the Australian Capital Territory. These trees are protected under the Urban Forest Act 2023. City Services, City and Environment Directorate (CED) administer the Urban Forest Act 2023. Both provisionally registered and registered trees are protected. Approval must be received before pruning or any other activity that could cause damage to a protected tree. The ACT Tree Register has been established to protect trees of individual importance across the built-up urban area. The ACT Tree Register can be found on the CED website. A registered tree has been identified as being exceptional for it’s: - Natural or cultural heritage values; - Landscape and aesthetic value; and/or - Scientific and ecological value. The Conservator of Flora and Fauna will make the decision regarding the registration of trees. The trees are assessed and if they meet the criteria, they will be placed on the Provisional Tree Register before a decision is made on full registration, within 12 months. Attributes include status, botanical name, land use, custodianship, division, district, tree height, canopy diameter, trunk circumference, registration date and criteria. These assets are captured and maintained in the asset database through the nomination of trees to the ACT Tree Register.

本多边形数据集展示了澳大利亚首都领地（Australian Capital Territory, ACT）内暂予登记与正式登记树木的空间位置。上述树木均受《2023年城市森林法》（Urban Forest Act 2023）保护，由城市服务、城市与环境总局（City and Environment Directorate, CED）负责该法案的实施与管理。暂予登记与正式登记的树木均受法律保护，若需对受保护树木开展修剪或其他可能造成损害的活动，必须事先获得审批。

ACT树木登记册（ACT Tree Register）旨在保护建成城区内具有个体重要性的树木，相关信息可于CED官方网站查询。正式登记的树木因具备以下一项或多项特质，被认定为具有特殊价值：
- 自然或文化遗产价值；
- 景观与美学价值；
- 科学与生态价值（二者兼具或任选其一）。

动植物保护专员（Conservator of Flora and Fauna）将负责作出树木登记的相关决策。工作人员会先对候选树木进行评估，若符合登记标准，则先将其纳入暂予树木登记册，并在12个月内作出是否予以正式登记的最终决策。

该数据集包含的属性字段包括：树木状态、学名、土地用途、管护责任、分区、辖区、树高、冠幅、树干周长、登记日期及评定标准。上述树木资产通过向ACT树木登记册提名的方式纳入资产数据库，并进行持续维护。
