Important Changes to Vegetation Mapping

Updated maps are now available to download.

The new maps include the most recent Queensland Herbarium scientific updates to the Regulated Vegetation Management Map, regional ecosystems, wetland, high-value regrowth and essential habitat mapping.

These changes do not affect areas shown as Category X on a Property Map of Assessable Vegetation (PMAV).

This mapping update includes:

• updates to category B (remnant) areas as a result of using the latest high-resolution imagery to more accurately define remnant vegetation  
• updates to Category C areas (high value regrowth) largely due to more detailed mapping being undertaken associated with the koala regulatory framework; and
• updates to essential habitat mapping to incorporate newly listed protected species and updated species modelling.

The map updates were released on the 8 September 2021 and incorporated PMAVs certified up until July 2021. The vegetation mapping will continue to be updated monthly to incorporate certified PMAVs.

Please request a free vegetation map online to see if your property is affected by these changes and to ensure you are operating in accordance with vegetation management laws. Vegetation mapping can also be viewed through Queensland Globe.
