Geological Shear Zones - Polygons

Regions showing the extent of mineral Retention Licences currently lodged with Earth Resources Regulations. The boundaries are derived from a combination of entering graticular boundaries (exact MGA co-ordinates) and digitizing along areas of land status (Earth Resources version of plm25) which are unable to be mined or explored. Refer to the Mineral Resources (Sustainable Development) Act (MRSDA) 1990 for more detail.

mainly licences from 1860 to 1930 Being digitized to help in identifying land where native title claims may be rejected.

Land Victoria Senior Land Use Planning Officer (SLUPO) Areas are not the same as the Land Vic Areas , so a copy of their areas were taken and modified to produce the new layer. This layer is meant to indicate the SLUPO that is responsible for the land contained within a tenement.

The data contains sub-surface geological rock units. Multiple datasets may exist over some tiles, numbered as SGEOLn. The data have been collected by the Geological Survey of Victoria. The dataset is accompanied by other datasets representing geology outcrop and boundaries, structural lines, miscellaneous lines and points, miscellaneous polygons, metamorphism, and placer deposits.
