Caveat
The information presented in this report has been provided by a range of data sources as acknowledged at
the end of the report.
This report is designed to assist in identifying the locations of places which may be relevant in
determining obligations under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999. It
holds mapped locations of World Heritage and Register of National Estate properties, Wetlands of
International Importance, Commonwealth and State/Territory reserves, listed threatened, migratory and
marine species and listed threatened ecological communities. Mapping of Commonwealth land is not
complete at this stage. Maps have been collated from a range of sources at various resolutions.
Not all species listed under the EPBC Act have been mapped (see below) and therefore a report is a
general guide only. Where available data supports mapping, the type of presence that can be determined
from the data is indicated in general terms. People using this information in making a referral may need to
consider the qualifications below and may need to seek and consider other information sources.
For threatened ecological communities where the distribution is well known, maps are derived from
recovery plans, State vegetation maps, remote sensing imagery and other sources. Where threatened
ecological community distributions are less well known, existing vegetation maps and point location data
are used to produce indicative distribution maps.
For species where the distributions are well known, maps are digitised from sources such as recovery
plans and detailed habitat studies. Where appropriate, core breeding, foraging and roosting areas are
indicated under 'type of presence'. For species whose distributions are less well known, point locations are
collated from government wildlife authorities, museums, and non-government organisations; bioclimatic
distribution models are generated and these validated by experts. In some cases, the distribution maps are
based solely on expert knowledge.
Only selected species covered by the following provisions of the EPBC Act have been mapped:
  - migratory and
  - marine
The following species and ecological communities have not been mapped and do not appear in reports
produced from this database:
  - threatened species listed as extinct or considered as vagrants
  - some species and ecological communities that have only recently been listed
  - some terrestrial species that overfly the Commonwealth marine area
  - migratory species that are very widespread, vagrant, or only occur in small numbers.
The following groups have been mapped, but may not cover the complete distribution of the species:
  - non-threatened seabirds which have only been mapped for recorded breeding sites;
  - seals which have only been mapped for breeding sites near the Australian continent.
Such breeding sites may be important for the protection of the Commonwealth Marine environment.
