Vicmap Admin - Country Fire Authority (CFA) Region Polygon

dataset: CFA_REGION
Part of the Vicmap Admin dataset series. This layer contains polygon features delineating the current Country Fire Authority Region Boundaries. In 2010, CFA moved to align their administrative boundaries to the Victorian Government Regional Departmental Boundaries. As a result of this direction, from 1st July 2010, what was once known as CFA Areas will now be known as CFA Regions. There are three exceptions in this dataset. In June 2011, Bass Coast Shire became part of Southern Metropolitan Region when the Victorian Government Regional Departmental Boundaries indicate that it should be part of Gippsland Region. In October 2012, Yarriambiack Shire was divided using the east-west rabbit fence (same as the Total Fire Ban District Boundary) which impacts on the Loddon Mallee and Grampians Regions boundary. In August 2013, the gazetted boundary prior to the mapping changes made as part of the Boundary Alignment Project at Inverloch Brigade, were reinstated impacting on the boundary ajoining Southern Metropolitan and Gippsland Regions. On the 2nd October 2014, CFA's eight Regions became five. This involved the merger of Hume and Eastern Metropolitan Regions to form North East Region, and Loddon Mallee and Northern & Western Metropolitan Regions to form North West Region. The other Regions were also renamed. These changes were a part of the Creating our Future Together (COFT) Program.

Quality

Missing Data
Victoria is 100% complete The spatial and textual information is complete. 
Attribute Quality
Highly accurate. 
Positional Accuracy
As the CFA Region Boundaries layer is based on the Victorian Government Regional Departmental Boundaries, Victorian Local Government Area Boundaries and Vicmap Transport, it has equivalent accuracy to these datasets. See Vicmap Admin and Vicmap Transport Product Description for further information. 
 

Lineage

Description
The CFA Region Boundaries are derived from the Victorian Government Regional Departmental Boundaries, Victorian Local Government Boundaries and Vicmap Transport. The Victorian Local Government Area Boundaries were used so that Bass Coast Shire area was included in Southern Metropolitan Region and exluded from Gippsland Region. Vicmap Transport was used so that the boundary between Loddon Mallee and Grampians Regions could run through Yarriambiack Shire. This section is the same as the Total Fire Ban District Boundary. It follows the east-west rabbit fence. The fence doesn't exist today, but followed the southern side of Galaquil East and Galaquil West Roads. This section of the boundary was therefore created using the linework of these roads in Vicmap Transport. The gazetted boundary prior to the mapping changes made as part of the Boundary Alignment Project were used to reinstate Inverloch Brigade area as part of Gippsland Region and excluded from Southern Metropolitan Region. The MFB Metropolitan District has then been cut out.
