Winterfill sustainable diversion limit volumes (SDLs) have been developed across Victoria and represent the upper limit on winterfill diversions, beyond which there is an unacceptable risk that additional extractions may degrade the environment. The SDL_BASIN dataset is a spatial representation of river basins, which represent an aggregate of the intermediate SDL catchments. These basins DO NOT reflect the Victorian surface water river basins as defined by the Australian Water Resources Council. Winterfill SDL data is held in the SDL_DATA layer.

This dataset is derived from the Melway directory and contains the map indices for the 1:5 000 city maps.

This data is now obsolete, current UDP data is available. This information maps the six industrial nodes identified in metropolitan Melbourne. These are areas where there is significant existing industrial activity, market interest and future industrial land identified. These are: West Industrial Node Airport Industrial Node North Industrial Node South Industrial Node Melton Industrial Node Pakenham Industrial Node

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 • The current measures used to define this inequity are quantitative only, and is based on out-of-date data.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

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.
