Dataset: Lower Hunter - Cessnock - Greater Blue Mountains World Heritage Area Values

Description

Data compiled is the distribution of native vegetation within the Cessnock Local Government Area rated against key criteria to determine its World Heritage value. The data provides a revision of existing vegetation mapping with scored sensitivity values for a range of criteria, used to derive a sensitivity index. This will aid in the determination of areas that may be suitable for World Heritage listing throughout the Cessnock Local Government Area.

• The 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 strategy 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.
