Native Vegetation - Flora and Fauna Guarantee Act Listed Communities
dataset:
NV2005_FFG_COMM
This is a derived dataset displaying the distribution of threatened vegetation communities listed under the Flora and Fauna Guarantee Act (1988). Communities have been matched to one of more Ecological Vegetation Classes (EVCs), and the bioregions in which they occur. Community locations and extent are implied from the extent of the most floristically similar EVCs, and the bioregions in which the EVCs occur. The "distribution" field indicates the range of the listed community within a BioEVC, and the extent to which the range of a community might extend beyond BioEVC boundaries.
This dataset is currently under review to include additional listed communities

Description
- Title
- Native Vegetation - Flora and Fauna Guarantee Act Listed Communities
- Alternate title
- NV2005_FFG_COMM
- Purpose
- This dataset is intended to assist stakeholders to determine whether their on-ground actions may impact on communities that have been listed as threatened under the Flora and Fauna Guarantee Act 1988. Under the FFG Act, permits are needed to take protected native flora, which includes FFG-listed communities, from public land. In the absence of accurate on-ground mapping of listed communities, Ecological Vegetation Classes (EVCs) are used to give a broad indication of the extent of native vegetation. It is important to note that these are models, and do not show actual on-ground extent, although in many cases the information has been verified by on-ground surveys. The data therefore needs to be used with caution, and is primarily a 'red flag' to warn stakeholders of the need to obtain proper on-ground assessments when operating close to a possible listed community.

- General This is a landscape scale dataset. Site verification is required for site based projects. Decisions involving planning, investment or regulatory requirements at the site-scale require use some form of ground-truthing and site assessment.

Attribute Quality
- Comments
- This dataset is a derived dataset and is dependent on the accuracy of the source dataset, ie. NV2005_EVCBCS. It is also dependant on the similarity of the community to one or more BioEVCs. For some communities the fit is very close, but for others the community is described in such a way that a number of EVCs must be included to cover the floristic and geographic range of the community
Positional Accuracy
- Comments
- Variable based on the extent of BioEVCs and the similarity of listed communities to those BioEVCs
