Municipal Tree Inventory for Macedon Ranges Shire

Macedon Ranges Shire Council provides a geospatial inventory of trees under its management. The dataset includes species, common name, diameter, and height information for these trees. It was last updated by the council in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyze species distribution and tree height across council-managed areas using the species and height columns.
• Assess canopy structure and tree size classes by querying the diameter at breast height (DBH) feature.
• Map urban tree locations and their common names for public information or maintenance planning.
• Calculate potential carbon storage or ecosystem service values using species and diameter data.

Strengths

• Data is provided in multiple standard geospatial formats (WMS, GEOJSON, WFS, SHP).
• Managed and updated directly by the local governing authority, Macedon Ranges Shire Council.
• Includes key tree metrics like species, common name, diameter, and height.

Limitations

• No row count or sample data is available to assess dataset size.
• The specific temporal range of the data collection is not provided.
• Data coverage is limited to trees managed by a single local council, restricting geographic scope.
