A fine scale extant vegetation map for the Sutherland Local Government Area was produced as part of the NSW Government's Koala Strategy’s 'Pillar 2.3 – Supporting Councils to do habitat mapping'. This dataset was a prerequisite for deriving Sutherland Council's koala habitat maps that were derived from a vegetation map. This accurate extant dataset refined the vegetation map ensuring it's boundaries of vegetation communities reflect on-ground boundaries and do not cross over into cleared, urban and other non vegetation areas. The dataset makes no distinction between native and exotics species.
