Extractive Industry Interest Areas

dataset: EIIA
The dataset displays areas identified by the Geological Survey of Victoria to be of known future interest to the extractive minerals industry. Areas are based on suitable geological occurrence and also take into account existing local government planning schemes. They are intended to provide a guide to local government in developing future planning policy. This dataset was updated in October 2023 to exclude areas where planning controls prohibit extractive industries as at late 2022. The dataset was updated in May 2024 to match the cadastral boundaries where necessary that were updated as part of the Digital Cadastre Modernisation project.
