This layer features the area cells used to record Catch and Effort data for the Western Port commercial fishery since April 1998. This layer is based on divisions of 5 minutes latitude by 5 minutes longitude.

This layer contains polygon features delineating the Administraitve Regions of the former Victorian Plantations Corporation. Replaces VPCADM250 This dataset was reviewed and updated in April 2022

This layer features the area cells used to record Catch and Effort data for the Rock Lobster and Giant Crab commercial fisheries since the introduction of quotas in April 2001. The area cell boundaries are based generally on divisions of 10 minutes of longitude and latitude. The southern boundary of the cells is based on the Victorian jurisdiction as described in the OCS agreements (on the border shared by Tasmanian waters).

This layer features the area cells used to record Catch and Effort data for the Gippsland Lakes commercial fisheries since April 1998. This layer is also used by the Gippsland Lakes and Gippsland Lakes (Mussel Dive) fisheries.

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 features the area cells used to record Catch and Effort data for the Port Phillip Bay commercial fisheries since April 1998. This layer is used by the Port Phillip Bay, Port Phillip Bay (Mussel Bait) and Port Phillip Bay (Purse Seine) fisheries. It is based on divisions of 5 minutes latitude by 5 minutes longitude.

This layer features the area cells used to record Catch and Effort data for the Corner Inlet commercial fishery since April 1998.

A dataset describing the disturbance history and biophysical characteristics of Victoria's publicly managed land estate in preparation for accountable carbon modelling. It was developed using a series of available corporate and other datasets on information such as wildfire and planned burn history, fire severity, harvesting history, vegetation type, soil type, IBRA region and forest extent. In essence it is a disturbance history layer from 1930 to 2009, containing approximately 750,000 unique features.

This dataset depicts the extent and location of coupes on an approved Timber Release Plan, including coupes on both the 2006-2011 TRP and the 2009-2014 TRP, for the period 13 January 2011 to <TBD>. Coupes include both those for timber harvesting and roadline operations. The features were extracted directly from the Coupe Information System using ActivityIDs supplied by VicForests. The features depict the gross area of each coupe currently on an approved TRP, including coupe driveways. The attributes attached to features were derived from a database maintained by the Regulation and Compliance Unit (Forests and Parks Division) which stores information about changes to coupes on an approved TRP through gazettal (i.e. in TRP change documents) or Coupe Finalisation from 1 August 2004 onwards. The true gross coupe area and predominant forest stand description for the coupe must be determined spatially.

The Leadbeater's Possum Advisory Group (LBPAG) established in 2013, was tasked with developing recommendations (actions) to support the recovery of Leadbeater's Possum (LBP) while maintaining a sustainable timber industry (LBPAG Recommendations Report, January 2014). Bushfires in February 2009 and ongoing habitat decline have led to a reduced population of Leadbeater's Possum. The remaining wild populations is therefore critical to the species' recovery. Prior to the LBPAG there was no specific protection for known colonies. LBPAG recommended that colonies are protected to aid the capacity for the species to recover. This will be achieved by removing threats that can be directly controlled (e.g. timber harvesting) or implement programs that minimise the risk of unplanned impacts (e.g. bushfire).
