VEAC Recommendations 1:25,000 point 

Alternate title

VEACRECS25_POINT 

Purpose

VEACRECS25 shows government approved public land use for each Crown parcel. It is intended to be a reference tool for state government, statutory authorities, local government and the general community. Areas of application include: strategic planning, project planning, land/forest/park/reserve management, reference framework, research and asset management. It is intended that VEACRECS25 will be used in conjunction with VicMap Property and/or other datasets on MapShare or held by the client. 

Supplemental Information

History: The VEACRECS25_POINT dataset is not actively maintained and is incomplete. So a this stage the dataset is not appropriate for distribution. Relationship to other Datasets: VEACRECS25 was created using VicMap Property's parcel layer as the base. Errors, if any, in the VicMap Property parcel boundaries used will have been carried through. Current Design Issues: VEACRECS25 was created to provide a comprehensive and accurate graphical database of the government approved public land use for all Crown land parcels that is easily accessible to clients. The layer is designed to work in conjunction with VicMap Property. Future Design Issues: The future of VEACRECS25 is to eventually be superseded by PLM25. The data model will include all the current attributes with the addition of others to cover all other public land management requirements. Related Documents: None

Statement

Dataset Source: VEACRECS25 is derived using VicMap Property parcel layer as a base, and overlaying polygons digitised from LCC, ECC and VEAC study reports to determine boundaries of public land uses for each parcel of Crown land. Hardcopy maps and reports provided additional information. Validation of the dataset is carried out by VEAC using data on government approvals, variations, amendments and revocations, and detailed plans, the Portal database, airphoto interpretation, technical data, field notes and maps. Initial Box-Ironbark area mapping was carried out using extracts from VicMap Property dated June 2002, updated prior to completion, and thereafter 6 monthly updates. Current mapping uses the latest version of VicMap Property at the time of creation. Dataset Originality: Primary & Derived 

Description

Collection Method: unk 

Description

The LCC, ECC and VEAC conducted public land use studies across Victoria, resulting in recommendations being made and documented in reports and hardcopy maps. These small scale maps from individual study reports were digitised. VicMap Property parcel layer (1:25,000) was used as the base for VEACRECS25. The digitised layers were layed over the parcel layer and used to provisionally determine recommendations for each parcel. Remaining Crown land was added. Validation for Crown Land status and recommendations was carried out by VEAC using data on government approvals, variations, amendments and revocations, and detailed plans, the Portal database, airphoto interpretation, technical data, field notes and maps.

Attribute Quality

Comments

VEAC / CLM data has been validated for each parcel. Attribute accuracy is limited to the extent of available data and is subject to comments from DSE regional staff. 

Positional Accuracy

Comments

Most parcels contain a single recommendation. Where parcels have more than one recommendation and parks and reserves have scheduled plans, boundaries were taken from the digital data. Other boundaries within parcels were drawn from airphotos, hardcopy plans or written descriptions. 

Conceptual Consistency

Comments

All polygons have been checked for self-intersections, overlaps and gaps by MapInfo's Check Regions function and visually. 

Missing Data

Comments

15 of 46 shires completed. An additional 33 municipalities in the Melbourne Metro and Geelong areas and certain cities, rural cities, towns and boroughs were excluded from investigations at particular times, therefore no data exists for them in this database.
