Biodiversity Corridors for the South East and Tablelands Region

NSW Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water provides a map of biodiversity corridors for consideration in the South East and Tablelands Regional Plan. The corridors were identified by refining connectivity models for a range of fauna species and validating them through on-ground checks and local expert knowledge. The dataset was last updated on 2026-05-13.

Use Cases

• Modeling habitat connectivity for fauna species based on the described corridor mapping.
• Informing regional land-use planning decisions based on the identified biodiversity corridors.
• Validating ecological models with on-ground and local expert knowledge as described in the dataset creation process.

Strengths

• Corridors were refined through on-ground validation and local knowledge.
• Local experts from all relevant government agencies contributed to the final map.
• The dataset is licensed under CC-BY-4.0 for open use.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data may reflect geographic and expert bias inherent to the data_gov_au platform.
