The Allocation Order 2013 made under section 13 of the Sustainable Forests (Timber) Act 2004 allocates and vests specified timber in State forests to VicForests for the purpose of harvesting and selling. This dataset specifies the spatial extent and location of these timber resources, by forest stand type. The Allocation Order 2013 was amended in October 2014 and April 2019. The dataset VicForests_Allocation_Apr2019 specifies the spatial extent and location of the vested timber resources according to the April 2019 amendment, gazetted on 24 April 2019.

Purpose:
This spatial data layer 'VICFORESTS_ALLOCATION_APR2019' is the 'Allocation Area' defined in the Allocation Order 2013 (as amended on 24 April 2019). The 'Allocation Area' is the area of land identified by accessing the spatial data layer known as 'VICFORESTS_ALLOCATION_APR2019'.
Forest stands
The FOREST_STA field (column) lists the forest stand type for each discrete area. Note: FOREST_STA or FOREST_STANDS depending on format.
The FOREST_STA field describes the classification of each area into Forest Stands. The Forest stands as described in item 1 of Table 1 of the Allocation Order 2013. Forest stands are the group of trees within State forest that share common characteristics based on similar species composition. The FOREST_STA field describes two different forest stands, they are 'Ash' and 'Mixed Species'. 'Ash' includes areas dominated by Eucalyptus delegatensis, E.regnans or E.nitens. The major species typical of the mixed species forest stand type include, but are not limited to: E. obliqua, E. cypellocarpa, E. fastigata, E. radiata, E. denticulata, E. viminalis, E. robertsonii, E. bicostata, E. sieberi, E. globoidea, E. muelleriana.
