This is the map defining the location of coastal and non-coastal bioregions and sub-regions described in "Module 8. Native Vegetation Clearing" in the State Development Assessment Provisions (SDAP). The coastal bioregions comprise: (1) Brigalow Belt Bioregion sub-regions Townsville Plains (sub-region 11.1), Bogie River Hills (sub-region 11.2), and Marlborough Plains (sub-region 11.14), (2) Central Queensland Coast Bioregion, (3) Cape York Peninsula Bioregion sub-region Starke Coastal Lowlands (sub-region 3.2), (4) Einasleigh Uplands Bioregion sub-region Hodgkinson Basin, (5) Wet Tropics Bioregion, (6) South East Queensland Bioregion. It is derived from the bioregions of Queensland, version 5.0 dataset. Queensland has been divided into 13 bioregions defined in the report 'The Conservation Status of Queensland's Bioregional Ecosystems' (Sattler and Williams 1999). Bioregions represent broad landscape patterns that are the result of the interplay between factors including geology, climate and biota. |
