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 Sites were identified from a range of published and unpublished sources of information, and from personal communications made by experts in the field.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/submerged aquatic vegetation at Gippsland Lakes mapped from 1997 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THIS DATASET HAS BEEN WITHDRAWN FROM OPEN DATA 17 FEBRUARY 2025. Strategic Cycling Corridors (SCC) are important transport routes for cycling and are a subset of the Principal Bicycle Network (PBN). The SCC network supports the needs of commuter trips (to work or education) and other important trips, such as to stations, shops or schools. The SCC network links up important destinations, including central Melbourne city, employment and activity centres, and other destinations of metropolitan and regional significance. SCCs can be on and off road, on municipal and state roads and are designed to provide a safe, lower-stress cycling for transport experience. The SCC network is classified as C1 or C2. C1 are "primary routes" which provide a core network of Strategic Cycling Corridors that connect places of state significance - the central city, Metropolitan Activity Centres (MACs) and National Employment and Innovation Centres (NEICs) within metropolitan Melbourne. In the future, this network may extend into regional cities. C2 are "main routes" - Strategic Cycling Corridors that provide additional connections to state significant destinations, as well as connections to Major Activity Centres and key railway stations within metropolitan Melbourne. In regional towns, main routes provide the SCC network that connects to destinations of regional importance including activity areas, school and railway stations. The SCC network was reviewed and updated in 2020, drawing on international best practice, while considering the local context and extensive stakeholder input.

THIS DATASET HAS BEEN WITHDRAWN FROM OPEN DATA 17 FEBRUARY 2025 This point layer represents the location of station entrances for the Melbourne Metro Tunnel Project. It inclues entrances for the stations at North Melbourne (Arden), Parkville, State Library (CBD North), Town Hall (CBD South) and Anzac (Domain). 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.

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 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 road corridors which form part of the PFN. PFN Road Corridors are classified as: PFN Road: a road corridor that forms part of the PFN PFN Road - committed future removal: a road corridor that will be removed from the PFN upon the completion of the relevant funded project PFN Road - in delivery: a road corridor that has committed funding and is in delivery PFN Road - planned: a potential road corridor identified for inclusion on the future PFN once funded PFN Road - area for potential PFN (polygons): an area identified that will contain a future road corridor that will form part of the PFN once funded The purpose of the PFN is to facilitate the efficient, safe, sustainable and economic movement of freight in Victoria and enable future growth of the freight task on the Victorian transport network by: 1) GUIDING future transport network and land use planning and infrastructure investment to ensure consideration and prioritisation of freight. 2) PROTECTING the principal freight network and future capacity of this network through appropriate legislation, planning scheme and policy provision. 3) INTEGRATING multi-modal supply chains and end-to-end supply chains to achieve productivity gains and industry competitiveness. 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 dataset represents road elements of the Victorian Principal Freight Network (PFN) as presented in Victoria the Freight State 2013. The Principal Freight Network (PFN) was defined in the 2008 Freight Futures document as "The Principal Freight Network is the part of the larger transport network over which the movement of heavy freight will be concentrated. This will be achieved by upgrading the capacity of the network to move freight and by ensuring that the network is managed to reduce freight travel time and increase the reliability of freight movement."
