Municipal Tree Inventory for Macedon Ranges Shire

A geospatial inventory of tree species, common names, diameters, and heights for trees managed by the Macedon Ranges Shire Council. The dataset is maintained by the local council and was last updated in April 2026. It provides detailed records for council-managed trees within the shire's jurisdiction.

Use Cases

• Analyze species distribution and common_name across the shire's managed areas.
• Estimate tree biomass or carbon storage using diameter and height measurements.
• Map tree locations for urban planning and maintenance scheduling using geospatial coordinates.
• Identify areas with specific tree species or size classes (diameter) for biodiversity studies.

Strengths

• Data is provided in multiple standard geospatial formats (GEOJSON, SHP, WMS, WFS).
• Dataset carries a permissive CC-BY-2.5 license for reuse.
• Maintained and updated by the authoritative local government council.

Limitations

• The total number of tree records (rows) and geographic extent are unspecified.
• Data completeness and update frequency for individual tree attributes are unknown.
• Limited to trees managed by the council, excluding private or other public land.
