The 2022 NSW Forest extent layer was created by the NSW DPIRD Forest Science team applying spatio-temporal analysis of the 2017-2022 National Forest and sparse woody vegetation data (Version 7.0 - 2022 Release) (Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment, and Water's). The data is available on data.gov.au. The dataset was further analysed and masked to exclude non-forest areas and create a forest extent layer with a 20 percent canopy cover for the NSW UTM Zones 55 & 56. The mask layer includes various datasets such as NSW Land use 2017, State Vegetation Type map (SVTM), Land Zoning, Water body, etc. The DPIRD Plantation unit's Authorised plantation layer (current as Aug 2024) was used to characterise forest types, i.e. Native forest and Plantation.
