02EVCs near the site
From the DEECA modelled pre-1750 EVC layer. Distances come from square search areas around the site, so they are approximate. The layer is modelled: confirm EVCs on site. Tick the EVCs to use, and the benchmark variants for each.

03Benchmark species lists
Benchmarks are matched to the bioregion of each EVC polygon: Victorian Volcanic Plain, Gippsland Plain, Highlands – Southern and Northern Fall, Central Victorian Uplands and Otway Plain so far, plus the statewide wetland benchmarks (September 2024). Lists marked extracted · check source were extracted automatically from the DEECA documents; confirm against the source before professional use. Lists you add are saved in this browser only.
