RDB_Authority is a linear representation of roads on Public Land categorised by managing agency. Generally, it does not include roads managed by local governement or VicRoads. Determination of the managing authority of roads is by agreement with relevant parties and verified by each regional manager within DSE. When a road is assigned to a managing authority it implies responsibility for matters relating to the road, including management and maintenance. The underlying linear data is derived from Vicmap Transport Roads. Authority categories are assigned through a relational database connection and the arcs grouped to simplify data geometry. DSE's ROADS database contains information relating to DSE-managed road assets.

This dataset is created by sketching in the current burnt area from field data and linescan data. This data is updated every time the area of the fire is updated during an incident.The area is captured in the incident mapping system eMap.The final fire shape is then combined with the planned burn area data to create the FIRE_HISTORY dataset. This data includes both FFMVIC and CFA fires. . The layer will support fire prevention and suppression activities of DSE, and will be used to generate the FIRE100_{year} fire history datasets. This layer is the source of disturbance datasets used in the analysis of old-growth forest.

TR_ROAD_REGISTER forms the basis of the road register for Victoria. Road segements (TR_ROAD) are grouped by road name, road type, road suffix and locality using the TR_ROAD_LOCALITY_SECTION and TR_ROAD_LOCALITY tables to create a single line feature for each unique combination of values. This dataset compliments TR_ROAD. Where a road segement has multiple names, TR_ROAD_REGISTER will have multiple overlappling road lines while TR_ROAD will have one road with multiple names. TR_ROAD_REGISTER facilitates road searching and efficent road name lablelling. In addition the dataset has an atttribute MIN_CLASS_CODE which is the the minimum CLASS_CODE for all TR_ROAD road lines that have the unique cominbination of identifer vaules. For example, if the road segments associated with the unique road identifer have CLASS_CODES of 0 (Freeway), 1 (Highway) and 2 (Arterial), the MIN_CLASS_CODE of that road will be 0 (Freeway). This value faciliates feature filtering at different scales and symbolisation.

This layer is part of Vicmap Transport.

Centroid is a point layer belonging to Vicmap Property and consists of data representing centroids for polygons representing Victoria's land parcels and properties. This layer should be used in conjuction with the other layers and aspatial tables that make up Vicmap Property see metadata for Vicmap Property. Vicmap Property Content includes · Parcel and Property Polygon views; · Parcel and Property Identifiers - parcel descriptors (including Standard Parcel Identifiers (SPI)), Council reference numbers; · Registered and proposed (All proposals entered prior to July 2002 are non-polygonal and all entered post July 2002 are polygonised) parcels; · Crown and Freehold land differentiation; · Cadastral Road Casements; · Easements (Note: all new easements are being captured for the whole State. Previously, only easements in the metropolitan area were captured. There is no current program to review and capture missing easements); · Unique Feature Identifiers, date stamps and data quality information. Spatial Datasets comprising Vicmap Property are listed below. See their metadata entries for more detailed metadata. Annotation Text - Vicmap Property (ANNOTATION_TEXT) Cadastral Area Boundary - Vicmap Property (CAD_AREA_BDY) Easement Line - Vicmap Property (EASEMENT) Parcel View - Vicmap Property (PARCEL_VIEW) Property View - Vicmap Property (PROPERTY_VIEW)

Cadastral Point is a point layer belonging to Vicmap Property and consists of data representing Victoria's land parcels, properties and road casements. It is used extensively in Geographic Information Systems (GIS) by the public and private sectors. This point layer should be used in conjuction with the other layers and aspatial tables that make up Vicmap Property. It provides information about horizontal positional uncertainty, faciliates the identifcation of objects built on survey adjusted data and provides a spatial linkage to Vicmap Survey

This layer contains aspatial details for all properties in Victoria. A property is defined as land, usually contiguous, under one ownership, and of a common class and tenure. It is used for land under common occupation particularly for the purpose of rating, billing or habitation. Properties are typically described by street address allocated by an authority such as local government. It includes: - Property numbers as allocated by local governement authority; - Registered and proposed status; - Type of property, ie, single or multi-assessment; - LGA code; - Unique Feature Identifiers, date stamps and data quality information. Address information IS NOT included in Vicmap Property. MetaX records this dataset as VMPROP.PROPERTY
