Topography Soils Elevation (m) Soil groups 115 - 120 Grey Clay Prepared by: Office of Environment & Heritage, Queanbeyan. Project and technical coordination by Owen Maguire. Digital Aerial Photograph 120 - 130 Red Earths Interpretation undertaken by Cameron Paterson and Robert Streeter. Hard copy map layout by Tobi Edmonds and Rob Armstrong. Mapping was 130 - 140 Red Podzolic Soils based on the interpretation of ADS40 aerial photography flown in April 2008. Polygons were captured at a scale of 1:6000 with a minimum polygon 140 - 150 Red-Brown Earth - Yellow Solonetzic 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 150 - 160 found to have an overall user accuracy of 86% (Ecological 2010). Plant communities have been classified using the NSW VCA (see Yellow Solodic Benson et al. 2006, 2008). NSW VCA communities have been grouped in the Legend according to the NSW Vegetation Classes and 160 - 170 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. For more information on NSW VCA plant communities go to http://www.rbgsyd.nsw.gov.au/science/Research/vegetation_of_nsw.
