Kempsey LGA (Western Portion) Vegetation

Vegetation Distribution Map for the western portion of Kempsey Shire Council. Project undertaken by GHD consultants in 2007. The western portion is generally considered to be those lands within the shire boundary on the western side of the Pacific Highway.; ; The vegetation mapping was carried out using Landsat 5 TM (imagery taken between Dec 2004 and August 2005) scene and topographic variables as a basis for multi-variate statistical classification techniques. The image was 'seeded' with areas of known vegetation type 'samples', as determined by the field survey, from which spectral and topographic similarity was used to predict the presence of those types elsewhere in the image. A few iterations of model and map refinement and validation were then used to produce a final map that was then converted to the preferred GIS format for display
