Orange-bellied Parrot Data Inventory for Gippsland Offshore Renewable Energy Area

Fifteen priority species were identified for a rapid information exploration related to the Gippsland offshore renewable energy declaration area. This record describes the collated data inventory for the critically endangered Orange-bellied Parrot (Neophema chrysogaster). The inventory was compiled by the Australian Ocean Data Network and last updated in June 2026.

Use Cases

• Assess potential impacts of offshore renewable energy development on the Orange-bellied Parrot based on collated occurrence data.
• Identify gaps in publicly available data sources for a critically endangered species to guide future data collection.
• Evaluate the utility of existing datasets for regulatory processes required by Australian environmental authorities.
• Plan activities to improve the accessibility and format of species data for environmental assessments.

Strengths

• Focuses on a specific, critically endangered species (Orange-bellied Parrot) listed under Australian law.
• Inventory is part of a larger project covering 15 priority species, suggesting a structured approach.
• Project methodology involved evaluating dataset utility for specific regulatory assessments.

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.
• Row count and specific data formats (beyond WFS, PNG, HTML) are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
