This layer identifies shorebird coastal roosting sites in the Victorian coastal region and was produced for the Victorian component of the Oil Spill Response Atlas. Sites were identified from a range of published and unpublished sources of information, and from personal communications made by experts in the field.

This layer presents the spatial extent, species distribution and density of seagrass meadows at Corner Inlet and Nooramunga mapped from 1998 aerial photography and field observations.

This layer contains polygons defining the spatial extent, species distribution and density of seagrass meadows within Sydenham Inlet mapped from 1999 aerial photography and ground-truthing.

THIS DATASET HAS BEEN WITHDRAWN FROM OPEN DATA 25 MARCH 2025 The Principal Freight Network (PFN) is a strategic network of current and recognised future freight places and connecting movement corridors (road and rail) which are nationally, state and/or regionally significant. The PFN places and corridors are where freight of significant quantity, value or importance is generated, stored, distributed, handled or carried. This dataset depicts PFN Places (areas). PFN Places are classified as: PFN Place: a place where goods of significant value, quantity or importance is generated, stored, distributed, handled or carried PFN Place - Planned: a planned freight place once funded The PFN was reviewed and updated in 2021 through consultation with local government and industry, building on the previous PFN which was last updated in 2013.

This layer presents the spatial extent, species distribution and density of seagrass/submerged aquatic vegetation at Gippsland Lakes mapped from 1997 aerial photography and field observations.

THIS DATASET HAS BEEN WITHDRAWN FROM OPEN DATA 17 FEBRUARY 2025 This point layer represents the location of future station entrances for North Melbourne (Arden) Station, part of the Melbourne Metro Tunnel Project. The Concept Design shown in this data reflects the indicative design shown in the Project's Environmental and Effects Statement (EES) which was publicly circulated with the community in May 2016. The Metro Tunnel Project comprises two twin 9 kilometre tunnels with five new underground stations, including two city stations directly connected to Flinders Street and Melbourne Central. It will connect the Sunbury and Cranbourne / Pakenham lines for the first time, creating a new end-to-end train line through the inner city. Construction of the Metro Tunnel began in 2017 and it is due to be completed by 2026. The Metro Tunnel Project comprises various works packages. As the project progresses and designs are further developed and approved, an updated dataset will be made available.

SEAGRASS_WESTERN_PORT_1999 is a polygon layer defining the spatial extent, species distribution and density of seagrass and macroalgae in Western Port mapped from aerial photography in 1999.

This is a polygon layer defining the spatial extent, species distribution and density of seagrass and macroalgae within Port Phillip Bay mapped from aerial photography in 2000. The mapping was ground-truthed in the field.

THIS DATASET HAS BEEN WITHDRAWN FROM OPEN DATA 25 MARCH 2025 The Principal Freight Network (PFN) is a strategic network of current and recognised future freight places and connecting movement corridors (road and rail) which are nationally, state and/or regionally significant. The PFN places and corridors are where freight of significant quantity, value or importance is generated, stored, distributed, handled or carried. This dataset depicts areas classified as "PFN Rail - area for potential PFN", which are approximate areas identified that will contain a future rail corridor that will form part of the PFN once funded. The PFN was reviewed and updated in 2021 through consultation with local government and industry, building on the previous PFN which was last updated in 2013.
