About the Maps

The maps for the INCP have been built using operational data used by Environment ACT and the Department of Urban Services through the Corporate Geographic Database.

At this stage, the INCP includes three interactive maps:

Over time, the list of datasets and types of maps will increase.

There are scale dependent layers utilised in this map for layers such as the road network and contour intervals. These scale limits are needed to ensure that the maps do not become too cluttered.

All maps use a similar set of base layers. Information on specific layers for each map is included below.

Lowland Woodlands

This map includes the datasets as described in the ACT Lowland Woodland Conservation Strategy.

Lowland woodlands datasets include: Partially Modified, Moderately Modified and Secondary Grasslands. The endangered Yellow-box/ Red-gum Grassy Woodland dataset is also identified. Other vegetation, not identified as Lowland Woodland, where the grassy understorey had been destroyed is identified as Severely and Substantially Modified vegetation. Refer to the ACT Lowland Woodland Conservation Strategy for detailed descriptions on each of the categories.

Threatened Species

The threatened species map includes layers identifying know habitat or know occurrence of some of the listed threatened species in the ACT. The layers are indicative only and not meant to represent exact locations.

Catchments

The catchments map displays the catchments as described in the Think water, Act Water strategy launched in April 2004.
