Lake Macquarie City Council Working Composite Vegetation Community Map undertaken by Stephen Bell and Colin Driscoll

from 2008 - 2013. A staged approach has been adopted by Council, to allow for funding as it becomes available. Stage 1 of the project focused on the Wyee to Cooranbong portion of the LGA, while Stage 2 examined the Glendale–Bolton Point–Seahampton area. Stage 5 focused on the north-eastern area of the City, extending north from Belmont in the south, and adjoining the Stage 2 area near Glendale. Stages 4 and 6 have not yet commenced. In total, approximately 46,270 ha have been included within Stages 1-3 and 5. Previous classification and mapping studies have also been amalgamated to form the basis of a city-wide vegetation map, which will be progressively amended and improved as further funding becomes available. Both mapping projects adopt the LHCCREMS 2000 vegetation classification as their structural framework, but with updated sub-community and new community allocations informed through preliminary regional multivariate data analysis undertaken for unrelated projects elsewhere in the region.
