Data sources Method Scoring system Data output
value
• Applied only to remnant, contiguous remnant and dense regrowth areas

Significant Atlas of Living Significant species records 0 = no record
species Australia (2016) • Threatened species records occurring with Noosa Shire 1= record in marginal habitat
presence Wildlife Online (sparse regrowth, scattered trees,

(2016) significant cleared)
Scored base layer
Significant species 2 = confirmed record for locally for significant
• Spatially valid points taken after 1980
list (Appendix A & significant species
B) 3 = confirmed regional
Base layer Attribution
4 = confirmed record for NT
• Point record extrapolated across Broad Vegetation Group from base layer
5 = confirmed habitat for V/E/M
Wetlands Farm dams Attribution 0 = not a wetland
Queensland wetland • Nationally Important Wetlands mapping layer amended to remove urban 1 = artificial wetland, highly
mapping areas modified wetlands & community
HES wetland • Attribution as per wetland data i.e. Nationally Important Wetlands, HES containing small areas of wetlands
mapping wetlands (referrable wetland mapping) (0 - 51%)
2 = community containing wetlands Scored wetland
Nationally important • VMA wetlands attributed from Queensland wetland mapping for REs
wetlands (51% – 80%) layer
classified as 100% wetlands
3 = VMA wetlands
Canal mapping • Community containing wetlands attributed from Queensland wetland
mapping 4 = wetland of High Ecological
Significance
• highly modified attributed from Queensland wetland mapping
5 = Nationally important wetland
• Clipped out canals using state mapping
TEC Base layer Attribution 0 = Not a TEC
• Selected based on REs assigned as per base layer methods 1 = Potential to be TEC sub-
• First RE in multi RE polys is dominant, RE 2-5 = sub dominant dominant
2 = Potential to be TEC Scored base layer
• Lowland rainforest TEC REs = 12.3.1; 12.5.13a; 12.8.13; 12.11.1;
12.11.10; 12.12.1 and 12.12.16 3 = TEC sub-dominant for TECs
• Saltmarsh TEC REs = 12.1.2 4 = TEC
• Applied only to remnant, contiguous remnant and dense regrowth areas
in the ecological condition layer
* Purpose of the scoring is to provide a ranking system of all ecosystems at a broad LGA scale. It does not indicate the complete lack of biodiversity values within urban areas
