Surat cumulative management area

## **Abstract** 

This dataset and its metadata statement were supplied to the Bioregional Assessment Programme by a third party and are presented here as originally supplied.



The dataset reflects the spatial extent of the Surat Cumulative Management Area. The area was declared under the Water Act 2000 to aid in identifying and managing overlapping underground water impacts incurred from multiple petroleum tenures.

## **Purpose** 

The Surat Cumulative Management Area was declared under the Water Act 2000 to aid in the assessment and management of overlapping underground water impacts from multiple petroleum tenures, on which activities such as coal seam gas (CSG) operate.The declaration of the Surat CMA enables the assessment of future impacts using a regional modelling approach and the development of management responses, such as monitoring programs, that are relevant to the potential cumulative impacts.It will also enable responsibilities to be assigned, through the DERM approved underground water impact report (produced by the Queensland Water Commission (QWC)), to each petroleum tenure holder in the area for monitoring, bore and baseline assessments, and negotiating make good arrangements.

## **Dataset History** 

Selected 'Blocks' as defined by the Petroleum and Gas Act 1923, were used to determine the Surat Cumulative Management Area. As the boundaries of blocks were based upon Parallels and Meridians derived from the Australian Geocentric Datum 1966, The AGD66 National Grid Transformation was used as the grid transformation using software, GDAy 2.1 (QLD Government, NRM) to convert to the Geocentric Datum of Australia 1994. Latitudes and Longitudes (decimal degrees) were then rounded to four decimal places.

## **Abstract** 

This dataset was supplied to the Bioregional Assessment Programme by a third party and is presented here as originally supplied. Metadata was not provided and has been compiled by the Bioregional Assessment Programme based on known details at the time of acquisition.

These data provide locational and attribute information for places on the Commonwealth Heritage List as determined by the Australian Government Department of the Environment, Heritage and Wildlife Division.

Data consist of Commonwealth Heritage List polygons with attribute information describing the place name, class (indigenous, natural, historic), and status.

Places subject to confidentiality agreements are not included in these data.

Spatial data for places (mostly historic) in cities, is currently being derived using urban cadastral data. These sites are being incorporated into each new release, as they become available.

## **Purpose** 

Source dataset for Assets and Receptors databases under the Bioregional Assessment Programme.

## **Dataset History** 

The original spatial data were captured and copied from the Register of the National Estate, which were digitised by the Australian Surveying and Land Information Group (AUSLIG) from stable-base overlays produced by the Australian Heritage Commission since 1986.

Since 1999, data entry and attribution has been undertaken by Australian Government Department of the Environment staff.

Data are captured using topographic and cadastral data at map scales of up to 1:250,000, depending on the size and detail of the property.

The majority of the source datasets are maintained and processed as ArcView shapefiles, in geographic projection using datum AGD66.

The final dataset described by this metadata has been transformed to the Geocentric Datum of Australia (GDA94)

HUN River Perenniality v01

## **Abstract** 

The dataset was derived by the Bioregional Assessment Programme from the Geofabric Surface Network - V2.1.1 dataset. The source dataset is identified in the Lineage field in this metadata statement. The processes undertaken to produce this derived dataset are described in the History field in this metadata statement.



This data is a copy of the geofabric network streams with an attribute classifying the streams into a stream flow perenniality class. The classification is based on a decision tree provided by the NSW office of water with a few modification to deal with dead ends in the decision tree and missing source data in the catchments to the south of the Hunter (Macquarie-Tuggerah).



The dataset and code were designed for a particular application in this particular catchment. Use beyond this application or in other catchments requires consideration of the suitability of the technique and the data.

## **Dataset History** 

Python code as a jupyter notebook is provided with the dataset which executes the river pereniality decision tree. This describes how the dataset was derived from the source datasets. The decision tree itself is quite simple to implement however the required data exists on 2 slightly different river networks and it would be preferred that the results are presented on the BoM GeoFabric. To achieve this, conflation of the 3 networks is required.

Victorian Aquifer Framework - Extent Polygons

## **Abstract** 

The dataset was derived by the Bioregional Assessment Programme from the Victorian Aquifer Framework (VAF) dataset (GUID: 67f60c8e-a944-4932-8a48-47dd1d1625b5) provided by the Victorian Department of Sustainability and Environment. You can find a link to the parent datasets in the Lineage Field in this metadata statement. The History Field in this metadata statement describes how this dataset was derived.



This dataset consists of polygons showing the horizontal extent of the aquifers in the Victorian Aquifer Framework.

## **Purpose** 

The VAF extent polygons have been developed for use in the Gippsland Bioregional Assessment 1.1 product aquifer connectivity map.

## **Dataset History** 

The Victorian Aquifer Framework (VAF) extent polygons were developed at Geoscience Australia within ESRI ArcMap 10.2 by reclassifying the original VAF grids (GUID: 67f60c8e-a944-4932-8a48-47dd1d1625b5) into integer values (giving all cells a value of 1), then converting the resulting grids to polygons. The polygons have not been simplified. The polygons display the aerial (2D) extent of each VAF layer in a way that is simpler than the original Grids which convey 3 dimensional information about each layer including thickness and extent information.

Victorian Groundwater Management System Dec 2012 (superseded)

## **Abstract** 

This dataset and its metadata statement were supplied to the Bioregional Assessment Programme by a third party and are presented here as originally supplied. 



A more recent extract of the GMS is now available (Oct 2013). 



In addition to monitoring data gathered via the State Observation Bore Network, groundwater information is held in relation to approximately 200,000 boreholes throughout Victoria on the Groundwater Management System (GMS). Part 1 in the title refers to the Access database version. This data is also available in csv and xls files. These have not been included. 



The GMS contains data from a wide variety of sources including the former Rural Water Corporation, the Minerals and Energy Department (now part of the Department of Primary Industries), other Government Departments, industry and the community.



The GMS extract has been imported into MS Access database. There are 29 individual tables within the database. For the purpose of IPBA, the most useful tables are "gms_chemistry" tables 2 to 9, and gms_wl_all which contains all of the water level readings. Other relevant information is stored in the National Groundwater Information System.

## **Dataset History** 

Up until the mid 1980s the bore locations were plotted on mapsheets and the individual bore records kept in hardcopy.  From the mid 1980s onwards a digital database, compiled from the existing records of all Government bores and private bores, was progressively assembled on mainframe computers.  From 1969, a permit to drill groundwater bores was required, and the information captured by the licensing process was added to the database.  This included groundwater investigation or observation bores drilled by other government agencies such as the State Rivers and Water Supply Commission (SRWSC) and the Soil Conservation Authority (SCA) and subsequent equivalents, although these agencies also kept their own bore databases. 



Following the split of the groundwater group from the GSV in mid 1988, the State bore database was duplicated.  One copy was merged with several Rural Water Corporation (RWC) databases to become the Victorian Groundwater Data Base (VGDB), the precursor to the current Groundwater Management System (GMS) run by the Department of Sustainability and Environment (DSE).  The other copy remained with the GSV and was developed into the Geological Exploration and Development Information System (GEDIS), which included the mineral exploration bores.  Data exchange was attempted for a few years following the split, but ultimately the databases grew into quite separate entities. The current GEDIS database is not included in this data.

Lake Eyre Basin Groundwater Potential Assessment Extents (PAE) v01

## **Abstract** 

The dataset was derived by the Bioregional Assessment Programme. The parent dataset is identified in the Lineage field in this metadata statement. The processes undertaken to produce this derived dataset are described in the History field in this metadata statement.



The groundwater potential assessment extent (PAE) (version 1) for subregions within the Lake Eyre Basin Bioregional Assessment area. These first pass PAEs are displayed as multiple ring buffers around each subregion at 100km, 200km and 300km from the subregion boundary. These areas provide options for further assessment of the potential extent in which groundwater is affected by coal seam gas and coal mining.

## **Dataset History** 

These PAEs were created by applying a multiple ring buffer around each Lake Eyre Basin subregion boundary (Bioregional Assessment areas v02, GUID: e414b1b3-c42e-42e9-9cc4-2093054aa35f) at 100km, 200km and 300km spacing.

## **Abstract** 

This dataset was supplied to the Bioregional Assessment Programme by a third party and is presented here as originally supplied. The metadata was not provided by the data supplier and has been compiled by the programme based on known details. 



This is a source dataset provided by NSW Office of Water. It was downloaded from http://realtimedata.water.nsw.gov.au/water.stm. The dataset includes daily rainfall (mm), volume (in ML) and allocations (in %) time series for the Glenbawn Dam and for the Glennies Creek Dam, both located in the Hunter.



Gaps in data records



Gaps in data records are more to occur likely during extreme events, particularly for gauging stations, where the data is automatically audited and potentially erroneous data is prevented from being displayed (Unreported data).



Data validation:

The Office of Water is endeavouring to validate data as quickly as possible. 

 

With respect to use of data:

Unvalidated data (Quality Code 130) has not been rigorously assessed and the data is quality coded to identify this. These data should by used with care as they may change after validation. These data should only be used by persons who are familiar with the characteristics of streamflow information.

Validated data are data that has been assessed and is the best available quality at the time, however the data should always be interpreted taking into account the quality codes that have been applied.



Hydrologic advice should be sought to assist with any interpretation.



For tables and codes refer to: http://realtimedata.water.nsw.gov.au/

## **Purpose** 

The dataset was used for river system modelling.

## **Dataset History** 

This is a source dataset provided by NSW Office of Water and downloaded from http://realtimedata.water.nsw.gov.au/water.stm.   The dataset was used without modifications. History detail was not provided with the dataset.
