Summary
This project will bring together the primary data analysis processes and reporting systems required for reporting on the balance of tree and grass cover (BoTGC) and related biophysical metrics under the Australian Beef Sustainability Framework (ABSF), and the Sheep Sustainability Framework (SSF) and put in place on-going analysis, reporting, and support for three years.
Objectives
1. In consultation with ABSF and SSF:
a) review interactive reports and mapping currently available on existing BoTGC dashboard
b) rationalise and agree on spatial and administrative reporting areas to be used for ongoing ABSF and BSF reporting.
2. Further develop the existing BoTGC dashboard to service the reporting and mapping requirements of both the ABSF and SSF.
a) common ABSF and SSF interface
b) specific ABSF and SSF reporting pages, maps, tabular and graph products
c) interactive reports based on specific themes, regions and date ranges, and save the derived reports in tabular (spreadsheet) and graphic (image, PDF) forms
d) display the woody vegetation change data and seasonal ground cover imagery as maps, with the ability to select, display and compare individual dates
e) display basemaps and reporting regions including national and state boundaries; NRM Regions, Local Government, ABARES, ABS, catchment, IBRA regions and sub regions.
3. Maintain the necessary data and systems for processing and reporting on annual woody vegetation extent, and seasonal fractional ground cover according to existing established processes
4. Complete all analyses and population of dashboard reports prior to release of annual ABSF and SSF reports.
5. Support ongoing ABSF and SSF reporting for 2022, 2023 and 2024.
6. Provide the necessary technical support for the ABSF and SSF dashboards and required project reporting.
