THIS LAYER HAS BEEN RETIRED FROM THIS OPEN DATA SOURCE. YOU CAN ACCESS A NEW DATASET ON THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORT AND PLANNING OPEN DATA PORTAL https://opendata.transport.vic.gov.au/ . THE NEW DATASET IS CALLED "PUBLIC_TRANSPORT_LINES". This layer depicts a spatial object (polyline) representing regional bus routes. Each polylines represents a unique route variation. Each bus route has attributes that describe route, trip headsign (direction), route length, first/last stop, number of stops and operator name. The data has been generated from the PTV GTFS data with extra attributes from PTV's TransNet database. This dataset does not include V/Line Coach Routes. V/Line Coach routes are included in the dataset PTV_REGIONAL_COACH_ROUTE. This dataset supersedes "PTV_BUS_ROUTE_REGIONAL" (which included both regional bus and regional coach routes). This dataset was first loaded into the VSDL in March 2018 and will be updated approximately quarterly.

Projection data is described in the gridcode column of the attribute table. This number is 1000 times the actual value (retained in this form to capture significant figures through map processing). For example, "Gridcode -23599" equates to -24% (rainfall) and "Gridcode 1986" equates to 2.0 degrees Celsius (temperature). The results are from 23 climate models that were available for the IPCC Fourth Assessment Report (2007). It is assumed that that the model results give a representation of the real world response to a specific emissions scenario. The IPCC (2007) estimates of global warming are relative to the period 1980-1999. For convenience, the baseline is often called 1990. Projections are given for 2030 and 2070 but, of course, individual years can vary markedly within any climate period, so the values can be taken as representative of the decade around the single year stated, i.e. projections for 2030 are representative of 2026-2035. Natural variability (independent of greenhouse gas forcing) can cause decadal means to vary and estimates of this effect are included in the estimates of uncertainties. The projections comprise a central estimate and a range of uncertainty. The central estimate is the median – or 50th percentile - of the model results, while the uncertainty range is based on two extreme values – the 10th and 90th percentiles. 10% of values fall below the 10th percentile and 10% of values lie above the 90th percentile. Greater emphasis is given to projections from models that best simulate the present climate. The weightings are based on statistical measures of how well each model can simulate the 1975-2004 average patterns of rainfall, temperature, and sea level pressure over Australia. Subregions of Victoria are indicated. Victoria has an integrated catchment management system established under the Catchment and Land Protection Act 1994 (the CaLP Act). Under the CaLP Act, Victoria is divided into ten catchment regions, with a Catchment Management Authority (CMA) established for each region.

This dataset consists of a series of approximate WSW to ENE oriented 'geological structures' interpreted from residual gravity bedrock depth in the Goulburn-Murray area of Victoria. These structures segment the Goulburn River Valley into an upper, middle and lower Goulburn bedrock valley system suggesting that it is a broadening out upland groundwater system for most of its length. The dataset was compiled by GHD to inform the report 'Potential Influences of Geological Structures on Groundwater Flow Systems' for DEPI's Secure Allocation Future Entitlements (SAFE) Project.

This is one of a series of restricted layers that identifies the nesting areas for threatened Egret species and records areas where breeding was confirmed and also identifies areas where breeding may have occurred in the past. Where breeding has occurred the year and month where available are listed. The site name is also given where known.

The Gippsland Lakes Local Coastal Hazard Assessment (LCHA) provides information on the extent of coastal hazards and their physical impacts for the Gippsland Lakes coastal environment. The coastal shoreline hazard assessment maps the potential coastal hazard zone under 0.0m, 0.2m, 0.4m and 0.8m mean sea level rise scenarios. The coastal hazard zones were determined using a range of methods, and include hazards associated with storm erosion, longshore sediment transport gradients, equilibrium profile adjustment and wave overwash processes. Details of the assumptions made in the derivation of this information can be found in project reports on the Our Coast website: http://www.ourcoast.org.au/cb_pages/resources.php. Users of this information should read these project reports to understand the limitations of the data.
