Display Name:   Essential habitat map

Description:   The essential habitat map is the map certified by the chief executive as the essential habitat map for the State and showing areas of essential habitat. Essential Habitat is vegetation in which a species that is Endangered or Vulnerable under the Nature Conservation Act (1992) has been known to occur. One of the purposes of the Vegetation Management Act 1999 is to regulate vegetation clearing in a way that prevents the loss of biodiversity. To fulfil this obligation, Vegetation Management within Department of Resources uses the essential habitat map as a tool when assessing vegetation clearing applications to assist in determining whether the vegetation is habitat for Endangered or Vulnerable species. This map is also used to identify essential habitat when assessing clearing in regrowth vegetation areas under the various self-assessable codes identified in the Vegetation Management Act 1999.The Biodiversity Assessment Unit (EHP) provides this information to Vegetation Management as digital spatial layers and as hard copy maps. All data is provided at current best standards for the State. Essential habitat was compiled from two primary sources1. Recognised species habitat models These are habitat models such as cassowary, ground parrot, etc that have been developed by experts. Some of the models have been developed from recent recovery planning activity and some come from application of the Biodiversity Assessment and Mapping Methodology (BAMM).2. Endangered and Vulnerable species habitat based on buffered species records. This concept comes from Criteria A of the BAMM. This criterion classifies areas according to their significance based on the presence of Endangered or Vulnerable taxa. For further information refer to the Technical documentation (ehab_v4_0_tech_doc.doc ).
