Victorian Land Use Information System 2021/22
dataset:
VLUIS2122_release3
The Victorian Land Use Information System (VLUIS) dataset has been created by the Spatial Information Sciences Group of the Agriculture Victoria Research Division in the Department of Energy, Environment and Climate Action (DEECA).
Land use plays a critical role in global cycle of greenhouse gases. Accurate and current land use information is vitally important to properly account land-based emissions, and to develop effective mitigation strategies for climate targets. VLUIS datasets are available for access through https://www.data.vic.gov.au/, and have previously been published for 2006/07, 2008/09, 2010/11, 2012/13, 2014/15 and 2016/17. VLUIS has been revised to provide contemporary and spatially detailed information to support ‘Agriculture Climate Spatial Tool’ (ACST) under Victoria’s ‘Agriculture Sector Pledge’ towards emission reduction targets.

Lineage
- Description
- The method used to create VLUIS was developed as part of the previous VLUIS program 2006-2017. This method has been updated to incorporate dataset and spatial/remote sensing technology improvements over the last 6 years. A review was undertaken to establish and document these changes (Sheffield et al, 2022). The VLUIS methodology has been designed to create regular and consistent data over time. It covers the entire landmass of Victoria and separately describes the land tenure, land use and land cover for each cadastral parcel across the state. The VLUIS dataset will be published annually with provision of updated statewide information for rural and agricultural land use categories and land cover linked to an ongoing process of updated land use data with linked source dates. The data is in the form of a both a table and a feature class. The table contains a Parcel_PFI column which links to the same code within the state-wide cadastral data layer, so that data on land use, land tenure and land cover is attached to each land parcel. To use the VLUIS data correctly it is important to understand the difference between the three components of VLUIS. The “Guidelines for land use mapping in Australia: principles, procedures and definitions, Edition 3” published in 2006 by the Commonwealth of Australia, defines them as follows: • Land tenure is the form of an interest in land. Some forms of tenure (such as pastoral leases or nature conservation reserves) relate directly to land use and land management practice. • Land use means the purpose to which the land cover is committed. Some land uses, such as agriculture, have a characteristic land cover pattern. These usually appear in land cover classifications. Other land uses, such as nature conservation, are not readily discriminated by a characteristic land cover pattern. For example, where the land cover is woodland, land use may be timber production or nature conservation. • Land cover refers to the physical surface of the earth, including various combinations of vegetation types, soils, exposed rocks, and water bodies as well as anthropogenic elements, such as agriculture and built environments. Land cover classes can usually be discriminated by characteristic patterns using remote sensing. Interpretation of information available for each land parcel should consider all three components where feasible, with limitations of data classes and potential accuracy or currency taken into account for assessing the data’s suitability for your intended application.
