1.3.2.2 Gaps

The habitats of species listed under the NSW Threatened Species Conservation Act 1995, but not under the EPBC Act, are not included as ecological assets in the Hunter asset list, owing to the lack of detailed modelling of individual species potential habitats. Similarly, endangered ecological communities are also not included in the asset list. Several species and endangered ecological communities of importance were identified during the assets workshop (see Section 1.3.1.4) and have been added as ecological assets (see Section 1.3.4) using spatial layers generated by the BA teams based on the best available knowledge of their habitat requirements or provided by third parties.
