Native Vegetation Time Stamping Dataset - Melbourne Growth Areas (VC68)

Brief description

This dataset is a definitive view of native vegetation extent and condition across Melbourne’s VC68 urban growth areas and incomplete Precinct planning areas within the Melbourne Urban Growth Boundary, time-stamped as at 13 December 2012. The area covered by the timestamping dataset aligns with the extent of the Biodiversity Conservation Strategy (BCS) for Melbourne’s Growth Corridors (DSE 2012).

This dataset wholly replaces the previously released NV2011_TS_GA and includes the following changes:
-inclusion of Number of Large and Very Large Trees in Surveyed remnant Patches
-Remnant Patches have new Unique IDs to remedy issues in previous dataset

The dataset only provides a view of native vegetation within the extent outlined above. Where a parcel is partially within the extent, the view of native vegetation only applies to areas applicable within the BCS.
