Habitat area is typically measured in hectares (ha) in the SGBA, as is for the Statutory Biodiversity Metric. Among other methods, Geographic Information Systems (GIS) software can be used to estimate hectarage. A sample of how baseline (i.e., pre-development) habitat area might be recorded in the SGBA would be as follows (see table below):
