Vegetation mapping of the northern part of Hawkesbury LGA. For more information see DECC (2008). This report describes the outcomes of a joint project between the Hawkesbury-Nepean Catchment Management Authority (HNCMA) and the NSW Department of Environment and Climate Change (DECC) to deliver a consistent and seamless vegetation map for the northern Hawkesbury Local Government Area (LGA). The project has been designed to provide the HNCMA and DECC with baseline data on vegetation communities to facilitate the implementation and reporting of biodiversity targets and objectives set out in the Hawkesbury-Nepean Catchment Management Plan. The major driver for this project was recognition that the study area was without consistent classification and mapping data that covered private lands and crown land tenures between the mapping available for the Cumberland Plain and the Yengo, Wollemi and Parr reserve systems. The study area covers around 28,000 hectares of land around the Hornsby Plateau in north-western Sydney. It encompasses the interface between the extensive shale deposits of the Cumberland Plain and the dissected sandstone plateaux. It is a zone that is undergoing rapid transformation in land use with rural holdings being transformed to hobby farms and urban subdivision expanding into rural-urban zones. VIS_ID 4167
