2019–20 SLATS Report

Area of clearing activity in Brigalow Belt in 2018–19 and 2019–20.

• Full clearing refers to areas which have been converted from woody to non-woody (i.e. less than 10% crown cover remains).
• Partial (major) are clearing areas where the woody vegetation has been significantly modified but remains woody (i.e. greater than 10% crown cover remains but more than 50% of the area has been affected by the clearing).
• Partial (minor) are clearing areas where some modification of the woody vegetation has occurred, remaining woody (i.e. greater than 10% crown cover remains but less than 50% of the area has been affected by the clearing).

Area of new regrowth in Brigalow Belt in 2018–19 and 2019–20.

• Regrowth are new woody vegetation areas which have regrown sufficiently to be reliably added to the SLATS woody extent. Regrowth was not reported in 2018–19.

Regulated vegetation management maps show the different vegetation categories that are present on a parcel of land. This information helps land managers determine the type of approval needed for vegetation clearing. The categories are as follows:

• Category A—vegetation that is subject to compliance notices, offsets and voluntary declarations
• Category B—remnant vegetation shown on a regional ecosystem or remnant map as an endangered regional ecosystem, an of concern regional ecosystem or a least concern regional ecosystem
• Category C—high-value regrowth vegetation
• Category R—regrowth watercourse area
• Category X—vegetation that is not generally regulated by the vegetation management laws.

For further information refer to General guide to the vegetation clearing codes (PDF).

The vegetation management class refers to the current regulated extent of a regional ecosystem. The categories are Endangered, Of concern and Least concern. No VM class refers to areas with no vegetation management class due to no regulated vegetation being present.

For further information refer to Biodiversity status and vegetation management class.

The landcover replacement class is interpreted by Queensland Government Department of Environment and Science scientists as part of the SLATS mapping process. It provides an indication of the purpose for which the vegetation was cleared. Read more about SLATS methodology.

• Pasture is clearing activity associated with grazing and other general agricultural land management practices—this class includes clearing for pasture, internal property tracks, fence lines or fire breaks.
• Crop is clearing activity for cropping or horticulture
• Forestry is clearing activity for timber harvesting in state or privately owned native or exotic (e.g. pine) forests or plantations (where it can be reliably attributed using authoritative data or other ancillary data sources).
• Mine is clearing activity for mining activities (including coal seam gas infrastructure).
• Infrastructure is clearing activity for utilities such as roads, railways, water storage, pipelines, powerlines etc.
• Settlement is clearing activity for urban development.
• Other refers to Partial (minor) clearing activity that is not able to be reliably attributed to a landcover replacement class due to the low level of modification associated with these clearing events.

Regulated vegetation management maps show the different vegetation categories that are present on a parcel of land. This information helps land managers determine the type of approval needed for vegetation clearing. The categories are as follows:

• Category A—vegetation that is subject to compliance notices, offsets and voluntary declarations
• Category B—remnant vegetation shown on a regional ecosystem or remnant map as an endangered regional ecosystem, an of concern regional ecosystem or a least concern regional ecosystem
• Category C—high-value regrowth vegetation
• Category R—regrowth watercourse area
• Category X—vegetation that is not generally regulated by the vegetation management laws.

For further information refer to General guide to the vegetation clearing codes (PDF).

The vegetation management class refers to the current regulated extent of a regional ecosystem. The categories are Endangered, Of concern and Least concern. No VM class refers to areas with no vegetation management class due to no regulated vegetation being present.
