Trusted Environmental and Geological Information Program
Abstract
Publicly available baseline ecology data are compiled to provide a common information base for environmental, resource development and regulatory decisions in the Cooper Basin region. This data guide captures existing knowledge of the ecosystems and environmental assets overlying the Cooper Basin. The land overlying the Cooper Basin is dominated by the Channel Country, Simpson Strzelecki Dunefields and Mulga Lands Interim Biogeographic Regionalisation for Australia (IBRA) bioregions with small areas of Mitchell Grass Downs and Stony Plains bioregions. The data on the ecosystems and environmental assets overlying the Cooper Basin have been summarised in July 2021 to inform decisions on resource development activities. Key data sources are broad vegetation groups - pre-clearing and 2019 remnant - Queensland series (Queensland Government), Field Environmental Data, Australian Wetlands Database and Heritage places and lists (Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water), and the Atlas of Living Australia.

Lineage
This package has been developed as part of the the Trusted Environmental and Geological Information program (TEGI), and is providing better and more streamlined access to information and data for geological basins prospective for energy, carbon capture and storage, groundwater and minerals. The program has identified and collated trusted baseline data and information for four prospective basin regions and supplement it with new geological and environmental assessments. This information will provide Australian governments, industry and communities with the highest-quality trusted science available to make faster, clearer decisions and provide better outcomes for the environment and water resources.
