Check Your Groundwater Areas (CYGA) are areas where there has been historic groundwater pollution as a result of previous industrial or other activities. They were previously called Groundwater Quality Restricted Use Zones (GQRUZ). CYGAs are either currently being investigated or have been subject to clean up in line with the relevant environmental standards. However, the water needs to be checked before using it as it may be unsuitable. A CYGA remains during investigating extent of groundwater impacts and when attempts have been made to clean up the groundwater at the affected site, but full clean-up was not possible - as it is often difficult to remove 100 per cent of groundwater pollution. It also may be impractical to clean up groundwater to the level needed to restore it to its original condition. EPA then identifies that groundwater in the area should be checked to determine if it is suitable for use. CYGA do not represent a comprehensive list of all sites where groundwater quality may not be suitable for use. Rather, they represent locations where EPA has formally recognised that groundwater is polluted, following site investigations. Other sources of information on groundwater quality include EPA's Priority Sites Register, which lists sites which are currently undergoing clean-up under EPA's compliance and enforcement activities. Every effort has been made to ensure the accuracy of the CYGA data published. EPA will not be held liable or responsible for any errors, or for any loss incurred from reliance on this data. This dataset mirrors the CYGA data available on EPA's website interaction portal, but may not be up to date due to data transfer processes.

This dataset contains polygon features representing the balance of the municipality that is outside the Urban Growth Boundary (UGB). The UGB is a boundary that indicates the long-term limits of urban development in metropolitan Melbourne. It only affects 17 LGAs within the Melbourne metropolitan area. This dataset has fields joined from the Codelist. This layer is attributed with: - scheme code - zone number - zone status - zone code - LGA name - LGA code - zone code group - zone code group label

This dataset depicts the survey data derived from the Forest Protection Survey Program. This dataset can be joined to the Timber Release Plan (TRP) using the COUPE_ID attribute field. This data is very old, not up to date. The program no longer exit thus update metadata to obsolete.

This dataset contains polygon features representing land use zones (such as residential, industrial or rural) for all Victorian planning schemes which has been joined with the Plan codelist. Some fields of note are Code_Parent and Zone_Code_Group along with standard fields form part of this dataset. This layer is attributed with: - scheme code - zone number - zone status - zone code - LGA name - LGA code

This layer contains a snapshot of flora 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 +/- 1m to +/- 500m. 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_FLORA_RESTRICTED. Public users wishing to view the general location of these records should refer to the related dataset VBA_RESTRICTED_1M.

Vicmap Planning History is the map data representing the land use zone and overlay controls for all Victorian planning schemes. Planning schemes cover the 79 local government areas and three other areas in Victoria. Planning schemes are regularly amended, and Vicmap Planning is continually updated to reflect the official planning scheme at any time. Datasets in the series are listed below. See them for more detailed metadata. - Planning scheme zones - Vicmap Planning (VMPLAN_PLAN_ZONE_HISTORY); - Planning scheme overlay - Vicmap Planning (VMPLAN_PLAN_OVERLAY_HISTORY); - Planning scheme codelist - Vicmap Planning (VMPLAN_PLAN_CODELIST) Current data model is Version 3.0.1 (Draft) 15 July 2017.
