ACT Grasslands Mapping for Conservation Management

Geospatial data on Natural Temperate Grasslands in the Australian Capital Territory, an endangered ecological community. The dataset supports the 2017 ACT Native Grassland Conservation Strategy and is fit for use at a 1:10000 scale. It is published by the ACT Government Geospatial Data Catalogue.

Use Cases

• Map endangered grassland boundaries for conservation planning based on geospatial data.
• Assess habitat condition fluctuations based on seasonal conditions mentioned in the description.
• Identify areas supporting threatened flora and fauna populations based on grassland conservation significance.
• Support field verification of grassland qualification in Namadgi National Park based on the description.

Strengths

• Data is explicitly fit for use at a 1:10000 scale.
• Supports a documented conservation strategy (ACT Native Grassland Conservation Strategy 2017).
• Covers a Critically Endangered Ecological Community under the EPBC Act 1999.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Natural Temperate Grassland condition can fluctuate widely, affecting boundary accuracy.
