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

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."

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THIS DATASET HAS BEEN WITHDRAWN FROM OPEN DATA 25 MARCH 2025 The Principal Freight Network (PFN) is a strategic network of current and recognised future freight places and connecting movement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 layer defines the approximate spatial extent, species distribution and density of seagrass and macroalgae in Western Port mapped from aerial photography in 1994 by the EPA.

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 rail corridors which form part of the PFN. This includes existing freight corridors and planned corridors. PFN Rail Corridors are classified as: PFN Rail: a rail corridor that forms part of the PFN PFN Rail - in delivery: a rail corridor on the network that has committed funding and is in delivery PFN Rail - planned: a potential rail corridor identified for inclusion on the PFN once funded PFN Rail - area for potential PFN (polygons): an area 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.

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 WAS WITHDRWAWN FROM OPEN DATA. IT HAS BEEN SUPERSEDED. The Principal Transport Gateways are major sea, land and air terminals for passengers or freight. The dataset includes two indicative locations for proposed future interstate freight terminals (BIFT and WIFT).
