NSW Bionet Vegetation Classification data collection

Office of Environment and Heritage (OEH)

The BioNet Vegetation Classification Data Collection contains the NSW vegetation community typology including Plant Community Types, NSW Vegetation Formations and Classes. The NSW Plant Community Type (PCT) classification was developed in 2011 to establish an unambiguous master community-level classification for use in vegetation mapping programs, regulatory decisions, and as a standard typology for other planning and data gathering programs. For more information go to .

ACCESS: The Vegetation Classification Data Collection can be accessed through the VIS Classification application: http://www.environment.nsw.gov.au/NSWVCA20PRapp/LoginPR.aspx. Data is maintained through the VIS Classification (edit) database.

An Open API is expected to be available in July 2016.

This Data Collection is maintained and improved on a regular basis, and is hence subject to change.
