True north and magnetic north are shown diagramatically for the centre of the map. Magnetic Prepared by: Office of Environment & Heritage, Queanbeyan. Project and technical coordination by Owen Maguire. Digital Aerial Photograph north is correct for January 2012. Interpretation undertaken by Cameron Paterson. Hard copy map layout by Tobi Edmonds and Rob Armstrong. Mapping was based on the interpretation of ADS40 aerial photography flown in December 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 Benson et al. 2006, 2008). NSW VCA communities have been grouped in the Legend according to the NSW Vegetation Classes and Formations (see Keith 2004). Locality Diagram Index to Adjoining Sheets VCA plant communities form part of the NSW Government's assessment tools such as the Property Vegetation Plan (PVP) developer and the Topography Biobanking Vegetation Types database.
