True north and magnetic north are shown diagramatically for the centre of the map. Magnetic north is correct for January 2012. Prepared by: Office of Environment & Heritage, Queanbeyan. Project and technical coordination by Owen Maguire. Digital Aerial Photograph Interpretation undertaken by Robert Streeter. Hard copy map layout by Tobi Edmonds and Rob Armstrong. Mapping was based on the interpretation of ADS40 aerial photography flown in October 2007. 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 found to have an overall user accuracy of 82% (Ecological 2009). Plant communities have been classified using the NSW VCA (see Locality Diagram Index to Adjoining Sheets Benson et al. 2006, 2008). NSW VCA communities have been grouped in the Legend according to the NSW Vegetation Classes and Topography Formations (see Keith 2004). VCA plant communities form part of the NSW Government's assessment tools such as the Property Vegetation

1:50,000 Elevation (m) Plan (PVP) developer and the Biobanking Vegetation Types database.
