This polygon shape file is a 1:25,000 – 1: 50 000 environmental dataset combining 14 input data sources. The input data sets identify land likely to contain agreed HEV criteria for the purposes of regional strategic planning and other environmental assessment projects that require identification of significant biodiversity values. This project was undertaken by the Planning Team South East Branch Regional Operations. Only data sources accessible on SEED were utilised in the creation of this layer. HEV criteria that could not be met using publicly available data on SEED were not mapped, though may still be present. The South East Tablelands High Environmental Values dataset covers the following LGAs: • Bega Valley Shire Council • Eurobodalla Council • Goulburn Mulwaree Council • Hilltops • Queanbeyan – Palerang Regional Council • Snowy Monaro Regional Council • Upper Lachlan Shire Council • Yass Valley Council
