Evaluation of vegetation extent and condition objectives and targets
Technical report supporting the NSW Basin Plan Matter 8 reporting 2019 to 2024
The NSW Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water monitors the health of wetlands in the Murray–Darling Basin, including outcomes from environmental water deliveries. This report evaluates how flood-dependent native vegetation communities in the Gwydir Wetlands and Macquarie Marshes of the NSW Murray–Darling Basin are tracking against long-term water plan objectives.

Overall, the assessment of vegetation extent and long-term condition trends suggests that long-term water plan objectives for flood-dependent vegetation have been met for the Gwydir Wetlands and Macquarie Marshes. Limited vegetation condition data reliability for some communities was found, along with some uncertainty in the vegetation extent mapping. However, recent wet years appear to have driven maintenance, expansion and/or improvement of extent, condition and/or viability of flood-dependent native wetland vegetation.
