The biodiversity study area covers approximately 48,600 ha located near the Larrimah Township. To support future planning and management in Larrimah, the data and report provides a desktop assessment of the current knowledge of biodiversity values within the study area. Biodiversity values data are compiled into five possible Risk to Biodiversity classes and also highlight areas of vegetation significance and the location of Groundwater Dependent Ecosystems. This information is part of the Mapping the Future Project of the Larrimah Area. This project has identified land capability, water availability and biodiversity values to support land planning and inform development potential over the Wadeye area. Reports and maps for the Wadeye project can be viewed from the webpage: https://depws.nt.gov.au/DevelopmentOpportunities - Development Potential of the Larrimah Area (2021) - Biodiversity Assessment of the Larrimah Area (2021) - Groundwater Resource Investigation of the Larrimah Area (2021) - Soil and Land Suitability Assessment for Irrigated Agricultural Development, Larrimah Area, Sturt Plateau (2015) - Soil and Land Suitability Assessment for Irrigated Agriculture on NT Portion 4478 and 4663 in the Larrimah Township area, Sturt Plateau.

Attribute values are assigned to each polygon and described in the Data Dictionary below. The attribute naming format uses 10 characters with no spaces to be suitable for an ESRI shape-file format. An alias attribute name is applied to an ESRI file geo-database format. Biodiversity values data are compiled into five possible Risk to Biodiversity classes (refer to Data Dictionary in this record).0The biodiversity values in this Risk to Biodiversity spatial dataset were compiled by the Flora and Fauna Division of this department using current vegetation community mapping at a scale of 1:25,000 derived from the soil and land suitability assessments carried out by Burgess et al. (2015) and McGrath et al. (2019). Potential areas of conservation significance and other biodiversity values were derived from the distribution of vegetation communities across the two surveys.
