The NSW Vegetation Information System (VIS) is being established to provide the NSW Government, its clients and community with a central authoritative repository for native vegetation data. The NSW VIS Plant Community Type Classification (VIS Classification Database) establishes a NSW Master Plant Community Type as focal point for both vegetation type mapping and regulatory assessment processes. The VIS Classification database stores a broad range of data related to the individual Plant Community Types (PCTs), including: • the NSW Master Plant Community Type Classification, including approximately 1,500 plant community types identified across NSW • scientific descriptions, and ecological and conservation profiles, of each plant community type; and • related regulatory data including: Over-cleared BioMetric Vegetation Types, BioMetric Condition Benchmarks and Over-cleared BioMetric Landscapes. • The NSW VIS Classification Database does not store spatial information or flora survey information for the plant community types.
