This dataset is a vector layer delineating the extant ('present') native vegetation types across Australia made available for release under CC BY. This dataset is part of a larger compilation of Australian states and territories (with the exception of most of NSW and TAS which do not have pre-1750 data for this version) for the latest release (Version 6.0) of the National Vegetation Information System (NVIS). Each state/territory is available for separate download, due to size limitations. This dataset comprises part of NVIS Version 5.1. This dataset was also used to develop previous Major Vegetation Groups and Subgroup products (version 3.0 to present). Note that the interpretation of vegetation descriptions (i.e. in the lookup table) may differ between versions.

Additional metadata and advice on use can be found in zip files available for download.

To use this dataset and display the Level 1-6 hierarchy, the field "NVISDSC1" must be joined to the field "NVIS_ID" in the lookup tables, available for separate download in Finding Environmental Data (FED), via the following links:
