This dataset contains polygon features representing exhibited amendments to the zone or overlay controls for all Victorian planning schemes. Features within this dataset represent only the currently exhibited Amendments. As an Amendment progress to Gazettal status or is lapsed or abandoned the polygons in that amendment will be dropped from this dataset. New amendment polygons will be introduced when the status of that amendment progresses to the Exhibition status.

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 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

Product version containing the following 2 datasets:- For detailed metadata, see individual records. PLAN_ORDINANCE_LPP_URL (ANZVI0803005951) PLAN_ORDINANCE_VPP_URL (ANZVI0803005954) Note: The VPP table was updated 14/7/2022 to accommodate changes to the the new format Planning Scheme webpages.The field LGA_CODE was added and a unique url for each zone and overlay for every scheme now exists. Hence, the number of records n the table has significantly increased.

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. For the most up to date data, go to EPA's website interaction portal.

This dataset Victorian Planning Provisions Ordinance links contains URL links to Planning Scheme Ordinance representing zone and overlay controls for all Victorian planning schemes. This data contains an additional LGA (LGA_CODE) attribute to enable access to the new format html planning scheme ordinance web pages. This layer is attributed with: - scheme code - zone number - zone code - LGA name - LGA code -URL

This dataset contains line features representing a boundary which 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 contains restricted taxa records from the Victorian Biodiversity Atlas (VBA). Record locations have been denatured to a 1 minute polygon grid to enable genaral data access. These records are held seperately from, and should be used in conjunction with VBA_FAUNA/FLORA25/100. VBA records are restricted when deemed by the Department to be vulnerable to collection, harvesting or disturbance. The main attributes in this layer are taxon name, conservation status, count, and year of record. The VERS_DATE column identifies the currency of the data. The FFG field has been updated to reflect the 2021 FFG Act amendments, and the Victorian Advisory List (VICADV) is now obsolete.

This dataset contains polygon features representing overlay controls for all Victorian planning schemes. Overlays reflect specific characteristics of land in an area, such as areas of significant vegetation or heritage value. This layer is attributed with: - scheme code - zone number - zone status - zone code - LGA name - LGA code
