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

This layer contains line features for depth contours (bathymetry) in Western Port.

This layer contains points locating groundwater research bores statewide. It documents data concerning bores drilled mostly to allow access to groundwater to support various uses and groundwater monitoring and research. The information within this layer derives from the PIRVic Bendigo Groundwater Database currently stored in SQL. This layer has been supereceded by DW_POINTS

Groundwater Flow Systems (GFS) have been developed in the National Land and Water Resources Audit as a framework for dryland salinity management in Australia. Originally developed in a broad national context, GFS has since been applied at the Murray Darling Basin scale and consequently CMA scale to support and underpin the development of salinity management strategies across regional jurisdictions. GFS250 joins the mapping for the Victorian CMAs where a GFS framework has been developed, and presents a statewide map with a consistent attribute set. The GFS framework encompasses: (a) identification of generalised conceptual models of groundwater behaviour in each of the region's geological and geomorphic provinces, (b) an assessment of the physical attributes of each system, and (c) first order consideration of potential salinity management strategies applicable within each GFS. A GFS will exhibit similar physical characteristics across its extent, and generally incorporate the complete groundwater flow path from recharge to discharge. Central to the framework is the assessment of the hydrogeological responsiveness of a GFS that guides appropriate land use to assist in the management of salinity. The development GFS framework for a region is typically undertaken through intense workshopping involving local expertise, then this documented in a regional GFS map and accompanying report. The linking of regional GFSs into GFS250 was undertaken by PIRVic and funded through NAP.

This layer contains line features for depth contours (bathymetry) in Port Phillip Bay.

This layer features the area cells used to record Catch and Effort data for the Bass Strait commercial fisheries since April 1998. This layer is used by the Ocean - General, Ocean Purse Seine, Ocean Scallop and Trawl - Inshore fisheries, and is based on divisions of 10 minutes latitude by 10 minutes longitude.

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 is a subset of Minerals and Petroleum's Boreholes database - that only includes boreholes that have temperature records. The majority of the data was collected for a particular Geothermal project that concluded in late 2007. The detailed data about these observations (including correction info) are not available within the dataset itself. For further information and an excel copy of the full data, refer to VIMP report 85 - appendix 2 and an excel attachment.

WUP for years 2014/15 - 2016/17 WUPs incorporate all commercial timber harvesting activities, (not domestic firewood) and minor produce operations where tree felling is required, associated access roading, and significant stand management operations (including thinning, reforestation and treatment of unmerchantable trees) managed or undertaken by DEPI. WUPs may incorporate other operations which involve vegetation disturbance and soil removal as determined by the Level 1 Manager.

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.
