Purpose

VEACRECS25 shows government approved public land use for Crown land and some state Government owned freehold parcels. It is intended to be a reference tool for state government, statutory authorities, local government and the general community. Areas of application include: strategic planning, project planning, land/forest/park/reserve management, reference framework, research and asset management. It is intended that VEACRECS25 will be used in conjunction with VicMap Property and/or other datasets. 

Format

File Geodatabase 

Supplemental Information

Relationship to other Datasets: VEACRECS25 was created using VicMap Property's parcel layer as the base. Errors, if any, in the VicMap Property parcel boundaries used will have been carried through. Current Design Issues: VEACRECS25 was created to provide a comprehensive and accurate graphical database of the government approved public land use for all Crown land parcels that is easily accessible to clients. The layer is designed to work in conjunction with VicMap Property. Future Design Issues: The data model will include all the current attributes with the addition of others to cover all other public land management requirements. Related Documents: None

Missing Data

VEACRECS25 is now completed and continuing update with VEAC investigations 

Attribute Quality

VEAC / CLM data has been validated for each parcel. Attribute accuracy is limited to the extent of available data and information. 

Positional Accuracy

Most parcels contain a single recommendation. Where parcels have more than one recommendation and parks and reserves have scheduled plans, boundaries were taken from the digital data. Other boundaries within parcels were drawn from airphotos, hardcopy plans or written descriptions held by VEAC. 

Lineage

Description

The LCC, ECC and VEAC conducted public land use studies across Victoria, resulting in recommendations being made and documented in reports and hardcopy maps. These small scale maps from individual study reports were digitised. VicMap Property parcel layer (1:25,000) was used as the base for VEACRECS25. The digitised layers were layed over the parcel layer and used to provisionally determine recommendations for each parcel. Remaining Crown land was added. Validation for Crown Land status and recommendations was carried out by VEAC using data on government approvals, variations, amendments and revocations, and detailed plans, the Portal database, airphoto interpretation, technical data, field notes and maps. 

Statement

Dataset Source: VEACRECS25 is derived using VicMap Property parcel layer as a base, and overlaying polygons digitised from LCC, ECC and VEAC study reports to determine boundaries of public land uses. Hardcopy maps and reports provided additional information. Validation of the dataset is carried out by VEAC using data on government approvals, variations, amendments and revocations, and detailed plans, the Portal database, airphoto interpretation, technical data, field notes and maps. Current mapping uses the latest version of VicMap Property at the time of creation. Dataset Originality: Primary & Derived
