Subsections used for the assessment of the Aquatic Conservation Values (ACA) for non-riverine and riverine wetlands of the Wide Bay – Burnett Catchments using the Aquatic Biodiversity Assessment and Mapping Methodology (AquaBAMM)
Resource purpose/summary
DERM has developed a new and novel method to assess conservation values of wetlands in Queensland called the Aquatic Biodiversity Assessment and Mapping Method (AquaBAMM). This comprehensive method identifies relative wetland conservation values within a specified study area. The method is used to produce an Aquatic Conservation Assessment (ACA) of wetlands using available data including data resulting from expert opinion. AquaBAMM is a powerful decision support tool that is easily updated and simply interrogated through a geographic information system (GIS). ACA results contribute to the baseline ecological information available to support natural resource management and planning processes. An ACA can have application in: determining priorities for protection or rehabilitation of aquatic ecosystems; on-ground investment in aquatic ecosystems; contributing to impact assessment of large-scale development (e.g. dams); and water resource and strategic regional planning processes.
Unrestricted to all levels of government and community. Dataset is available to all government agencies, community groups and individuals. Dataset will be available through physical supply and may be made available via web delivery tools, for example, through DERM's internet sites.

For SOR subsections, the positional accuracy of the subsection data mapped at a scale of 1:100 000 is +/-100 metres. The positional accuracy of the subsection data mapped at a scale of 1:50 000 scale with a positional accuracy of +/-50 metres. See the relevant State of the Rivers reports for more details. The RiverTools subsection modelling is dependent on the 25m NRM Digital Elevation Models which were derived from the 1:100,000 contour and point point data. The positional accuracy of the subsection boundaries mapped by RiverTools should be considered as +/-100 metres. NB: Consideration of the effects of mapped scale is necessary when interpreting data at a larger scale, (eg: 1:25,000). For property assessment, digital linework should be used as a guide only.
