The STATE-WIDE OLD GROWTH SURVEY GRID and STATE-WIDE OLD GROWTH SURVEY GRID CENTROIDS dataset were developed to assist the verification of the presence or absence of old growth forest in Victoria. The STATE-WIDE OLD GROWTH SURVEY GRID dataset is a 1-hectare square grid which has been created in ArcGIS pro 2.3. STATE-WIDE OLD GROWTH SURVEY GRID CENTROID is the centre of each 1-hectare square grid cell. This is polygon layer consisting of 100mX100m squares covering the extent of Victoria. Within each square is a centroid that is used as a survey point for undertaking tree assessments. The centroids are located within a square that has a bounding box with coordinates that are divisible by 100. So a centroid with coordinates 2,616,250m 2,400,050 is within a square with left X = 2,616,200 and right X =2,616,300, bottom Y = 2,400,000 and top y = 2,400,100. For further information on old-growth verification please refer to the Procedure for Identifying Old Growth Forest in Victoria.

The 30 Year Investment Opportunities Framework will guide investment in the development of Melbourne’s metropolitan open space system. The Framework responds to the following issues identified in the Open Space for Everyone Strategy: • There is an existing inequity of access to open space provision across the metropolitan area. • The current measures used to define this inequity are quantitative only, and is based on out-of-date data. • There is currently no alternative cost effective and replicable, decision-making framework that considers qualitative and quantitative spatial data and information sources. • Consequently, there is also no evidence-based metropolitan wide guidance as to ‘where to invest and why’ that would help address current inequity and respond to emerging needs. • Melbourne doesn’t have an integrated, metropolitan-wide investment plan that identifies regional and landscape scale gaps in the network across municipal boundaries. The Framework The Framework is a planning and investment tool that will be used by State Government, Local Government and Land Managers to prioritise funding to open space projects that have the greatest impact on health and wellbeing, creating a healthier biodiversity, responding to climate change and delivering social and economic benefits. The Framework aligns to the Open Space for Everyone Strategy. Decision making criteria have been developed as qualitative and quantitative measures for the four Strategy goals: • Improved community health and wellbeing. • Healthier biodiversity. • Enhanced climate change resilience. • Maximised economic and social benefits.
