Lower Hunter Grey Headed Flying Fox Forage Habitat Rehabilitation Areas

This resource is a desktop analysis of areas that could be targeted for further investigation with regards to rehabilitating areas suitable for foraging Grey-headed Flying-fox. It is specific to the area identified as the Lower Hunter (Port Stephens, Maitland, Cessnock, Lake Macquarie and Newcastle Local Government Areas).

• The GIS mapping data were obtained to inform sustainability planning for the Lower Hunter region, particularly to assist in informing the NSW Government review of the NSW Lower Hunter regional strategy and Lower Hunter regional conservation plan.
• Once this review is complete, the second stage is to undertake a strategic assessment of proposed urban development and related infrastructure corridors. The NSW Government has entered into an agreement with the Commonwealth to conduct a strategic assessment of proposed urban development and related infrastructure corridors. *While reasonable efforts have been made to ensure that the contents of this dataset are factually correct, the Commonwealth does not accept responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of the contents, and shall not be liable for any loss or damage that may be occasioned directly or indirectly through the use of, or reliance on, the contents of this dataset.This data has been licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Australia Licence.
