Prepared by: Office of Environment & Heritage, Queanbeyan. Project and technical coordination by Owen Maguire. Digital Aerial Photograph Interpretation undertaken by Robert Streeter and Cameron Paterson. Hard copy map layout by Tobi Edmonds. Mapping was based on the interpretation of ADS40 aerial photography flown in February 2008. Polygons were captured at a scale of 1:6000 with a minimum polygon size of 1 ha (OEH 2011). It is therefore possible to use this mapping at larger scales such as 1:25,000. This work has been assessed and Topography Soils found to have an overall user accuracy of 93% (Ecological 2011). Plant communities have been classified using the NSW VCA (see Elevation (m) Soil groups Benson et al. 2006, 2008). NSW VCA communities have been grouped in the Legend according to the NSW Vegetation Classes and 120 - 130 Grey, Brown and Red Clays Formations (see Keith 2004). VCA plant communities form part of the NSW Government's assessment tools such as the Property Vegetation Plan (PVP) developer and the Biobanking Vegetation Types database.
