This layer contains points showing the location of groundwater bores from the Water Registry which is now decommissioned and superseded by the WIMS. WMIS is the primary access point to search, discover, access and download surface water and groundwater monitoring data collected by DEPI and its partners. WMIS contains data from a range of sources, primarily from the registration of bores requiring a bore construction licence (Water Act, 1989), as well as groundwater level and groundwater chemisty data. For more detailed information on individual bores, the user is referred to the WMIS site at http://data.water.vic.gov.au/monitoring.htm.

This dataset is a simplified and generalised version of the NV2005_EXTENT dataset. The parameters of the simplification and generalisation have been set to produce a a product suitable for mapping at scales between 1:30000 and 1:400000

This layer contains modelled old-growth forest which has been updated with forest harvesting and fire. The base layer used in western part of the state is og100 which was updated by lastburnt100, lastlog25 and boundaries of the 2006 Grampians fire from ECC. The base layer for the eastern part of the state is mog2003 updated by lastlog25 & lastburnt100. The old-growth forests in the base layers were identified to meet the Victorian definition of old-gwoth forest based on a set of modelling criteria, rules and input datasets. The data is not reliable at scales less than 1:100,000. Old-growth polygons have not been confirmed through field checking and the reliability of modelled old-groth stands have not been assessed.

The Biodiversity Conservation Strategy for Melbourne's Growth Corridors (BCS) prepared as part of the Melbourne Strategic Assessment specifies that salvage and/or translocation of plants and animals may be required before the removal of native vegetation or habitat for urban development in Melbourne's growth corridors. This dataset identifies land parcels under the Biodiversity Conservation Strategy that may be subject to the salvage and translocation process, as defined by the Salvage and Translocation Protocol for Melbourne's Growth Corridors (DEPI, 2013). Salvage may be required for the following target species and communities listed under the Commonwealth Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act) and Victorian Flora and Fauna Guarantee Act 1988 (FFG Act): - Spiny Rice-flower, Matted Flax-lily and other grassland plants - Striped Legless Lizard - Seasonal Herbaceous Wetlands (Freshwater) of the Temperate Lowland Plains. Land parcels which contain a set of conditions for each of the above species/communities will trigger a salvage and translocation procedure to be enacted in accordance with the Protocol.

The Victorian Land Cover Time Series provides a consistent through time, whole-of-state, spatial land cover data set for 7 epochs (1987-1990, 1990-1995, 1995-2000, 2000-2005, 2005-2010, 2010-2015 and 2015-19). The dataset uses Landsat satellite imagery and local calibration (or training) data. The most likely layers (one for each epoch) classify each pixel in to one of 19 land cover classes. The dataset provides additional evidence for use alongside other South Australian mapping products to measure and map native and non-native land cover types (although land cover types delineated are different between States).

Coastline of Victoria based primarily on zero metre (0m) contour dataset from the Vicmap Elevation Coastal DEM and Contours product derived using LIDAR and reviewing this dataset against the most recent and highest resolution aerial photography available in the DSE CIP image repository. Where LIDAR contours were absent or of poor quality, the coastline was digitised from recent API. For MGA Zone 54, zero contour was largely incomplete, and 0.5m contour was used due to the absence of a satisfactory 0m contour. Where no LIDAR and photography was available, Framework was used (including for internal state boundaries).

Project HawkEye is a biodiversity monitoring project created to study the impact of fire and planned burning on biodiversity. One deliverable for the HawkEye project is the establishment of a monitoring sites database to store information about monitoring sites (not the actual data that is collected). This spatial layer is one of the outputs from the project designed to provide a single point of reference for this information.
