  Victorian Biodiversity Atlas Restricted Records - 1 minute grid

dataset: VBA_RESTRICTED_1M
This layer contains restricted taxa records from the Victorian Biodiversity Atlas (VBA). Record locations have been denatured to a 1 minute polygon grid to enable genaral data access. These records are held seperately from, and should be used in conjunction with VBA_FAUNA/FLORA25/100. VBA records are restricted when deemed by the Department to be vulnerable to collection, harvesting or disturbance. The main attributes in this layer are taxon name, conservation status, count, and year of record. The VERS_DATE column identifies the currency of the data. The FFG field has been updated to reflect the 2021 FFG Act amendments, and the Victorian Advisory List (VICADV) is now obsolete.

Purpose
This layer is to be used to indicate general localities where wildlife have been recorded. It is not a presence/absence dataset and includes both incidental records submitted by the public as well as the results of scientific surveys. 
Supplemental Information
Relationship to other Datasets: - VBA unrestricted fauna records with site accuracies better than +/- 500m are contained in VBA_FAUNA25 - VBA unrestricted fauna records with site accuracies worse than +/- 500m are contained in VBA_FAUNA100 - VBA unrestricted flora records with site accuracies better than +/- 500m are contained in VBA_FLORA25 - VBA unrestricted flora records with site accuracies worse than +/- 500m are contained in VBA_FLORA100 Related Documents: None
