BioNet is the repository of biodiversity data maintained by OEH and contains species sightings and systematic survey, vegetation classification and threatened entity data used by a wide range of organisations.

BioNet Web Services will enable organisations and individuals to directly integrate biodiversity data into their software systems and unlock the innovation potential of this valuable community-owned data asset. By delivering these data via Open APIs, we are aiming to improve environmental decision-making by integrating up-to-date, consistent and reliable biodiversity data into planning and assessment systems.

This release adds Vegetation Classification and NSW Landscapes data to BioNet Web Services, as well as introducing a number of enhancements to the existing data and API.
