 MSES map series         Queensland    MSES is a set of layers representing defined values in the State Planning Policy
                         Government    2017 (SPP) and Environmental Offsets Regulation 2014. MSES are derived
                         , 2024        from multiple sources as follows:

                                           locally refined) and Koala Priority Areas that contain Koala habitat which is
                                           essential for the conservation of a viable population in the wild in SEQ.

                                           national Groundwater Dependent Ecosystems Atlas developed by the
                                           Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) that identifies ecosystems which require
                                           access to groundwater on a permanent or intermittent basis to meet all or
                                           some of their water requirements so as to maintain their communities of
                                           plants and animals, ecological processes and ecosystem services.
