Victorian Biodiversity Atlas fauna records (unrestricted) for sites with moderate to low spatial accuracy

dataset: VBA_FAUNA100
This layer contains a snapshot of fauna taxa records from the Victorian Biodiversity Atlas (VBA) (including most threatened taxa). The main attributes in this layer are survey id, survey location, date, time, locational accuracy, taxa recorded, counts, observation type, survey type, collector, and reliability of the record. The VERS_DATE column identifies the currency of the data. Although this is a point layer, the actual accuracy of the site can range from +/- 500m to +/- 10 km. The FFG field has been updated to reflect the 2021 FFG Act amendments, and the Victorian Advisory List (VICADV) is now obsolete. This layer excludes restricted taxa records. These records are contained in the related (but restricted) dataset VBA_FAUNA_RESTRICTED. Public users wishing to view the general location of these records should refer to the related dataset VBA_RESTRICTED_1M.

Description

Title
Victorian Biodiversity Atlas fauna records (unrestricted) for sites with moderate to low spatial accuracy 
Alternate title
VBA_FAUNA100 
Purpose
This layer is to be used to indicate sites and 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. Users should take particular note of the MAX_ACC_KM field which describes the MAXIMUM accuracy of the site as a radius around the point. Sites with an accuracy better than +/- 500m are contained in the related dataset VBA_FAUNA25. Taxon records considered sensitive by DELWP are contained in the related (but restricted) dataset VBA_FAUNA_RESTRICTED, or the denatured VBA_RESTRICTED_1M. The dataset contains over 2.1 million points and is best used at large scales or by querying for particular taxa if it is to be drawn across larger areas.
