Monthly public transport patronage by mode

Monthly total patronage for metropolitan and regional train, metropolitan and regional bus, tram and regional coach services in Victoria, to allow users to analyse trends in patronage by mode. Patronage is a count of patron boardings onto services, with the exclusion of train transfers that do not involve a change in direction. Patrons includes all persons 5 and over, excluding drivers and station staff.

<strong>Data Currency</strong>

This information will be updated on a monthly basis but with a 2 month lag in order to provide a comprehensive view of patronage during that time period.

<strong>Data Quality</strong>

1) Patronage is a count of patron boardings onto services, with the exclusion of train transfers that do not involve a change in direction. Patron includes all persons 5 and over, excluding drivers and station staff.

2) Patronage data for metropolitan modes and for regional bus is derived from myki ticketing data. As ticketing data provides an incomplete picture of the number of people using public transport, DTP also conducts a patronage survey to supplement myki data. The purpose of the patronage survey is to determine the transaction rate, which is the percentage of passengers who ‘touch-on’ when they travel. Ticketing transactions are boosted according to the transaction rate to provide an estimate of total patronage.

3) As of January 2021, metropolitan train patronage uses barrier count data, where available, instead of survey observations to determine the transaction rate.

4) Metropolitan train patronage is derived from a count of station entries, plus a 5% ‘transfer uplift’ to account for trips following a transfer within a station.

5) From January 2026, tram patronage estimation transitioned from a survey-based method to a new method based on automatic passenger counts (APC) for around 50-60% of the tram fleet. The APC method has higher confidence as it uses a large number of observed boarding counts, rather than survey-derived uplift factors which are based on a sample of observations. The existing survey-based method will continue to be used on routes that do not have sufficient coverage of APC technology.

6) Patronage data for V/Line train and V/Line coach is provided by V/Line, and includes coach replacements, conductor or driver estimates and special services. 

7) Patronage data for regional bus also includes patronage estimates for services that are not myki enabled. This data is derived from the ‘monthly statistical returns’ completed by each bus operator.

8) The patronage results include estimates for Free Weekend travel from the 30th of November 2025 to the 1st of February 2026, and Free Weekday Travel on the 31st of March 2026. In the absence of myki ticketing data, alternative estimation methods were applied. Due to the different methodologies used from the 30th of November 2025, the patronage should be interpreted with caution.

Camden Haven Flood Study Update 2026

The Camden Haven Flood Study (2026) was initiated in response to the March 2021 extreme weather event, which caused widespread damage to public and private assets across the Camden Haven Valley. Recognising the significant impact on the community, Port Macquarie‑Hastings Council undertook this study to use newly available data from the event to validate and refine the flood models developed as part of the 2013 Flood Study, thereby improving contemporary understanding of flood behaviour and risk.
This report documents the collection, compilation and application of post‑event flood data to improve flood estimation in areas where limited or no data previously existed. It details the development and calibration of a new hydrologic model for the catchment, as well as a new hydraulic model for the river system upstream of the 2013 flood model extent.

The updated models have been used to determine revised design flood characteristics, including flood levels, flow velocities and hazard categories, across a range of design events in accordance with the procedures outlined in Australian Rainfall and Runoff 2019. The results have been used to produce new and updated flood mapping for the major tributaries of the catchment and the estuarine floodplain adjoining Watson Taylor Lake and Queens Lake. This information supersedes the flood data presented in the 2013 Flood Study for parts of the lower catchment where there is overlap.

NSW Integrated  Address Service

<b> The NSW Integrated Address Service</b>





This web service data product provides a unified source of address point locations, including formatted address strings, and associated lot and property information.



<b>Purpose </b>


In alignment with the NSW Foundation Spatial Data Framework (FSDF), Spatial Services publishes a range of datasets covering the cadastre, address, and boundary themes. While linking these datasets can provide comprehensive information, the underlying relationships are often complex and difficult for most users to navigate. 


This web service simplifies that process by presenting a single, consolidated table. Each record contains a complete address string along with its linked lot and property details. Where an address corresponds to multiple lots, each lot is represented as a separate record. 


Please note: this service contains current information only and does not include historical records.Supporting Documentation:<a>Fact Sheet The NSW Integrated Address Product Specification and Description</a>

An integrated approach to assessing marine seismic impacts: Lessons learnt from the Gippsland Marine Environmental Monitoring project

Marine seismic surveys are a fundamental tool for geological research, including the exploration of offshore oil and gas resources, but the sound generated during these surveys represents a major source of noise pollution in the marine environment. Recent evidence has shown that seismic surveys may negatively affect some cetaceans, fish and invertebrates, although the magnitude of these impacts remains uncertain. This paper applies a case study on marine seismic impacts (the Gippsland Marine Environmental Monitoring (GMEM) project) to the critical assessment of the advantages and challenges of a multi-faceted field-based approach in the context of future research and management priorities. We found that multiple experimental components, including both conventional and innovative methods, facilitate an interdisciplinary approach and also provide a failsafe in case of limited suitable data. Field observational studies provide an unparalleled level of ecological realism, although their practical challenges must be considered during research planning. We also note the need for appropriate environmental baselines and accessible time-series data to account for spatiotemporal variability of environmental and biological parameters that may mask effects, as well as the need for a standardised technique in sound monitoring and equipment calibration to ensure accuracy and comparability among studies.

Successive marine heatwaves cause significant coral bleaching impacts during a fast phase transition from El Niño to La Niña

The frequency and intensity of marine heatwaves resulting in thermal bleaching events have increased over recent decades leading to catastrophic losses of reef-building corals in many regions. Successive annual bleaching events are also becoming more frequent, limiting the capacity of susceptible coral species to recover. Following an unusual fast phase transition of the record-breaking 2009–2010 warm pool El Niño event in the Central Pacific to a strong La Niña event the following year, high-latitude coral reef assemblages around Lord Howe Island were exposed to unprecedented successive thermal anomalies causing severe bleaching. Coral health surveys completed between March 2010 and September 2012 quantified the response and resilience of approximately 42,000 coral colonies from different taxa to the successive bleaching events. Changes in benthic community composition before, during and after the thermal stress events were also assessed. In March 2010, severe coral bleaching ranged between 99% at some shallow lagoon sites to 17% at deeper reef slope sites. Significant coral tissue mortality was evident during March and May 2010, with increased pigmentation and colour returning to surviving colonies by September 2010, indicating recovery of symbiotic function in living coral colonies. Pocillopora, Stylophora, Porites and Montipora species were the most affected taxa, with minimal mortality observed in merulinid and Acropora species. During the second thermal anomaly in 2011, significant bleaching occurred in susceptible coral taxa, demonstrating limited resilience and acclimation capacity of these high-latitude corals to future-ocean warming. Repeated bleaching stress resulted in a shift at some sites from a coral-dominated reef assemblage to one comprising a higher cover of macroalgae and other invertebrate taxa. These findings demonstrate that future-ocean warming and extreme heatwave events are likely to lead to significant shifts in reef assemblages and potential local extinction of some dominant but vulnerable reef-building corals at this world heritage listed site.
