Vegetation management pre-clear regional ecosystem map - version 13.00

This dataset was certified on 15/11/2023. Pre-clearing regional ecosystems are vegetation communities in a bioregion that are consistently associated with a particular combination of geology, landform and soil. This map uses the same data that is published by the Qld Herbarium for pre-clear regional ecosystems. The only difference is that this map displays the 'regional ecosystem class' to define endangered, of concern and least concern as defined by section 22LA-LC of the Vegetation Management Act 1999 (VMA). The Qld Herbarium dataset uses 'biodiversity status' which is different to the 'regional ecosystem class' that is used under the VMA. For vegetation management purposes please use this dataset. This dataset should not be used to determine environmentally sensitive areas that are used for regulation of the resources industry through provisions in the Environmental Protection Act 1994.
