ACT Threatened Box Gum Woodland Potential Distribution Map

A geospatial layer mapping the potential distribution of threatened Box Gum Grassy Woodland ecological communities in the Australian Capital Territory. The data supersedes mapping from 2012 and is used to indicate likely habitat for Yellow box-Blakely's red gum and White box-Yellow box-Blakely's red gum communities, which are listed as Endangered and Critically Endangered respectively. The ACT Government produced this layer, last updated in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Identify potential habitat for Endangered Ecological Communities based on the mapping layer.
• Plan field surveys for threatened grassy box woodlands based on the indicative distribution.
• Assess environmental impact for development projects using the potential distribution data.
• Update conservation planning strategies based on superseded 2012 mapping.

Strengths

• Mapping supersedes earlier work from 2012, indicating updated methodology.
• Layer is the 'most current' information for the ACT, as stated in the description.
• Data covers two distinct threatened ecological communities with different listing criteria.

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Mapping is 'indicative' and 'potential', requiring field verification for listing status.
