The dataset uses vegetation information derived from 2m resolution Geoscape © Surface Features data (commercial product) combined with boundary and land use information from the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) Mesh Block polygon dataset. Mesh Block data is augmented with boundaries (road, rail, property & water) from the NSW Digital Cadastral Database and NSW Land Zoning to produce modified mesh block boundaries the ABS Mesh Blocks.The modified mesh block are designed to assist the planning of tree planting based on land use. The work was undertaken to support the NSW Government Greener City Program and 2021 Government Priority of One Million trees project.- Tree_Cover_MMB_GSR_2022Provides information on the area and percentage of canopy for - Mesh Block- Modified Mesh Blockin the Greater Sydney Region.Data may also be broken down into Land Zoning (EPI_TYPE, EPI_NAME)
