NSW Council Roadside Reserves Conservation Values

Local Government NSW (LGNSW), as part of the Council Roadside Reserves (CRR) Project funded by the NSW Environmental Trust, facilitated the assessment of the conservation value of roadside reserves in a number of NSW Local Government Areas (LGAs) using a standard Rapid Assessment Method (RAM). This line spatial dataset contains the results of the assessments completed by 18 LGAs. \r\n\r\nConservation value is described as either:\r\n\r\n* High Conservation Value (HCV), \r\n* Medium Conservation Value (MCV), or \r\n* Low Conservation Value (LCV). \r\n\r\nLGNSW facilitated the assessment of roadside reserves in a number of NSW Local Government Areas (LGAs) using a standard Rapid Assessment Method (RAM).
