Polygons delineating vegetation units defined by the Land Conservation Council (LCC). Forest species and structure are defined for each LCC Study Area.

The STATE-WIDE OLD GROWTH SURVEY GRID and STATE-WIDE OLD GROWTH SURVEY GRID CENTROIDS dataset were developed to assist the verification of the presence or absence of old growth forest in Victoria. The STATE-WIDE OLD GROWTH SURVEY GRID dataset is a 1-hectare square grid which has been created in ArcGIS pro 2.3. STATE-WIDE OLD GROWTH SURVEY GRID CENTROID is the centre of each 1-hectare grid cell. The extent of this data is aligned with the Modelled Old Growth (MOG) dataset and 400m buffered. For further information on old-growth verification please refer to the Procedure for Identifying Old Growth Forest in Victoria.

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.

Box-Ironbark Forests and Woodlands Investigation Final Recommendations - for the Environment Conservation Council. The Minister, under Section 17 of the Environment Conservation Council Act 1997 required the Environment Conservation Council to carry out an investigation of Victoria’s Box-Ironbark Forests and Woodlands occurring on public land in northern Victoria. The area investigated was the box-ironbark ecosystem stretching from the Grampians in the west to Wodonga in the north-east.

Obsolete - replaced by NVR2017_CONDITION. Site condition aims to reflect three components - composition, structure and function. In practice, condition is measured through the prism of lifeforms, their cover and species diversity. Measuring the condition of native vegetation recognises that most remaining native vegetation in Victoria has been subject to some disturbances, such as historical land use, grazing or weed and pest animal invasion, and is subsequently reduced in condition; vegetation types vary spatially and temporally; circumstances fluctuate (e.g. seasons, natural disturbance events); degradation and rehabilitation occur; and naturalness is valued.

WUP for years 2013/14 - 2015/16 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. The TUP essentially superseded the WUP after VicForests became responsible for these operations.

This dataset has been developed for use by local government and Department of Sustainability and Environment (DSE) staff who are assessing planning permit applications to clear native vegetation that are classified as low impact. Site-based data is generally not available for permit applications assessed using the low impact pathway. This layer allows a local government or DSE officer to determine the default conservation significance of remnant patches without the need to collect site-based data. The data layer has been created using modelled vegetation type and quality, available best and remaining habitat models and spatial information on other attributes. This dataset does not reflect any requirements of the Flora and Fauna Guarantee Act 1988 or Commonwealth Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999. This dataset has been developed for a particular use scenario.

This layer is not current (see LBPZONE25) but it maintained for historical purposes. A zoning of forest into suitability of habitat for Leadbeater's Possum (LBP) (Gymnobelideus leadbeateri), based on a visual interpretaion of aerial photographs to identify certain density classes of stags, followed by refinement based on ground survey.
