February 2009 Victoria bushfire severity layer (FIRE_SEV09), intersected with various administrative and environmental datasets (Local Government Areas, Catchment Management Authorities, Land Tenure, River Catchments, Ecological Vegetation Classes, Native Vegetation and Bioregions).

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 • The current measures used to define this inequity are quantitative only, and is based on out-of-date data.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.

Hazards layer identifying locations of features such as hazardous trees, mine shafts, holes, cables, etc. These were identified and recorded by VicForests field staff.

Part of the Vicmap Crown Land Tenure dataset series - superseded by GOV_ROAD_POLYGON. This dataset plays a key role in the management of Victoria's Crown land. It is being created (June 2003 - Feb 2004) from migrating LCMP layers into the Vicmap structure. At this stage it does not cover Metropolitan Melbourne. The layer provides information about Crown Roads. The dataset is continually maintained, obtaining maintenance from authoritative sources within State Government. GOV_ROAD_POLYGON is a polygon layer depicting Government Roads including roads as laid out on Parish Plans & proclaimed as Road in Government Gazettes.

Digital version of topographic maps. The data is in individual mapsheet times in jpg format, or a mosaic ecw.

Obsolete - Structural vegetation mapping of forest in Victoria based on the Land Conservation Council (LCC) vegetation classification scheme. The layer is independent of land tenure and is a combination of existing data from multiple sources (predominantly LCC) and primary mapping based on satellite image interpretation dated around 1993.. It was formerly known as SVEG100 but has now been superceded by a 1995 version. (see SVEG100).

This layer details the boundaries of the Salinity Management Plans. These boundaries define the administrative extent for each Salinity Management Plan Not all areas of the state are covered by Salinity Management Plans.

This layer contains the location of surface water monitoring sites in the Water Measurement Information System (WMIS). WMIS is the primary access point to search, discover, access and download surface water and surface monitoring data collected by DEPI and its partners. More detailed information on individual surface monitoring sites , can be accessed via the WMIS site at http://data.water.vic.gov.au/monitoring.htm.

Supporting mechanical works for the Fire Operations Program Indicates location of a combination of works being undertaken to support the Fire Operations Plan including fuelbreak improvement and roadside maintenance

Part of Vicmap Index product, this dataset comprises footprints delineating mosaic tiles for Vic StateView 2022/23 1.5m. Each footprint represents the spatial extent of a tile, housing essential metadata such as raw strips ID, satellite used, capture date, off-nadir angle, and tile name. Positioned as a comprehensive metadata layer, this product is designed to enhance the utility of Vic StateView 2022/23 1.5m, offering crucial information for data interpretation and utilisation.
