Crime Statistics Agency Data Tables - Harm Caused

The Harm caused by crime measure reorganises the person based victim reports by principal offence type into an alternate view that is categorised by a high, medium of low harm classification. Not all offence types included in the CSA offence classification are included in the Harm caused by crime measure. The harm caused measure is designed to allow the user to explore offence types and the different harm classifications at the state and local government area levels. 

Please note that movements in recorded crime data may be impacted by changes in legislation and operational police practice.

From March 2020 to December 2021 Victoria responded to the global COVID-19 pandemic through a range of health responses that included periods of restrictions on people’s movements and daily activities. The health response was supported by the use of offences codes relating to breaches of Chief Health Officer (CHO) Directions the Public Health and Wellbeing Act 2008. The restrictions on movement and introduction of breaches of CHO directions had a flow on effect for Victorian recorded crime, and this differed by crime type.

Fauna Survey Data from Biological Databases of South Australia

The Biological Databases of South Australia (BDBSA) is South Australia's flora and fauna database that stores and manages specimen and observation records. This record is the fauna component that contains over 2.3 million measurements collected from over 200,000 sites, across 726 species since 1976. This dataset includes occurrence data and morphometric information for invertebrates, fish, mammals, birds, reptiles and amphibians. The resulting database provides a comprehensive record of biodiversity across sites visited during a diverse range of biodiversity projects undertaken in South Australia and provides a basis for future monitoring or other relevant work such as species modelling.


Only validated BDBSA data is made publicly available and all records of sensitive taxa have been masked from the dataset. Data is accessible from the TERN EcoPlots portal, which provides the ability to extract subsets of fauna data across multiple data collections and bioregions for more than 27 variables including animal body size, body length, head length, number of individual animals, and number of individual plants.

Litchfield Flux Data Release 2022_v2

This release consists of flux tower measurements of the exchange of energy and mass between the surface and the atmospheric boundary-layer using eddy covariance techniques. Data were processed using PyFluxPro (v3.4.7) as described by Isaac et al. (2017). PyFluxPro produces a final, gap-filled product with Net Ecosystem Exchange (NEE) partitioned into Gross Primary Productivity (GPP) and Ecosystem Respiration (ER).
 
Located in a 5 km2 block of relatively uniform open-forest savanna, the site is representative of high rainfall, frequently burnt tropical savanna.

Tropical savanna in Australia occupies 1.9 million km2 across the north and given the extent of this biome, understanding biogeochemical cycles, impacts of fire on sequestration, vegetation and fauna is a national priority. In the NT, savanna ecosystems are largely intact in terms of tree cover, with only modest levels of land use change. Despite this, there is evidence of a loss of biodiversity, most likely due to shifts in fire regimes and a loss of patchiness in the landscape. Approximately 40 % of the savanna burn every year and understanding fire impacts on fauna and flora is essential for effective land management.

Alpine Peatland Flux Data Release 2024_v1

This release consists of flux tower measurements of the exchange of energy and mass between the surface and the atmospheric boundary-layer using eddy covariance techniques. Data were processed using PyFluxPro (v3.4.17) as described by Isaac et al. (2017). PyFluxPro produces a final, gap-filled product with Net Ecosystem Exchange (NEE) partitioned into Gross Primary Productivity (GPP) and Ecosystem Respiration (ER).

The Alpine Peatland flux station was established in 2017 at Heathy Spur I, an alpine sphagnum bog on the Bogong High Plains recognised by Parks Victoria as a reference ecosystem for this endangered ecological community. The vegetation is dominated by the peat-forming moss <em>Sphagnum cristatum</em>, as well as typical peatland species including candle heath (<em>Richea continentis</em>), alpine baeckea (<em>Baeckea gunniana</em>) and rope rush (<em>Empodisma
minus</em>). The Alpine Peatland tower typically experiences a mild growing season from October to June and 2-3 months of snow cover from July to September.

Cow Bay Flux Data Release 2022_v2

This release consists of flux tower measurements of the exchange of energy and mass between the surface and the atmospheric boundary-layer using eddy covariance techniques. Data were processed using PyFluxPro (v3.4.7) as described by Isaac et al. (2017). PyFluxPro produces a final, gap-filled product with Net Ecosystem Exchange (NEE) partitioned into Gross Primary Productivity (GPP) and Ecosystem Respiration (ER).

The Cow Bay flux station was established in December 2008 and managed by James Cook University. The forest is classified as complex mesophyll vine forest, there are 94 species in the core 1&nbsp;Ha, and average tree height is 22&nbsp;m. Elevation of the site is 90&nbsp;m and mean annual precipitation is 3935&nbsp;mm. The Daintree Rainforest is one of the most biodiverse forests in Australia. The instruments are mounted on a walk-up tourist tower at 35&nbsp;m. Fluxes of heat, water vapour and carbon dioxide are measured using the open-path eddy flux technique. Supplementary measurements above the canopy include temperature, humidity, windspeed, wind direction, rainfall, incoming and reflected shortwave radiation and net radiation.The early years 2009 - 12 had several data gaps. Shadowing of the radiometric equipment continues to cause artifacts on the radiometers - these can be seen as reduction in downwelling radiation with solar inclination. The site is part of the FNQ Rainforest SuperSite - associated with the Daintree node, which is part of the TERN, Australia.

Potential Soil Carbon ACCU Land Tasmania

The analysis is detailed in the following report.

https://nrmdatalibrary.nre.tas.gov.au/FactSheets/WfW/ListMapUserNotes/PotentialACCUEligibleLandReportTasmania.pdf

A broad-scaled spatial analysis was undertaken by the Natural Assets Spatial Intelligence Section, Environment, Heritage and Land Division of the Department of Natural Resources and Environment Tasmania (NRE Tas), to map land potentially eligible for the Australian Carbon Credit Unit, under the 2021 Soil Carbon Method in Tasmania, in response to a request from the Soil Carbon Industry Group (SCIG - https://www.scig.org.au/).  Eligible land is defined under Section 9 of the Method, see https://www.legislation.gov.au/F2021L01696/latest/text.
Suitable datasets from NRE Tas were selected to identify land that meets the following criteria:
(a) Land was used for one or more agricultural purposes, including pasture or cropping;
(b) The land contains no dwellings or other structures;
(c) At the end of the baseline period, it is reasonable to expect that implementing eligible management activities, as outlined in relevant land management strategies, will increase soil carbon sequestration;
(d) The soil on the land can be consistently sampled in accordance with the requirements of this determination.
This high-level assessment focuses on mapping lands meeting criteria (a), (b), and (d). Management activities under criterion (c) would be implemented by farmers, extension advisers, or service providers within the Soil Carbon Industry Group and are beyond the scope of this mapping assessment.
To evaluate criterion (d), limiting factors such as surface rock presence, extreme slopes, and very wet areas were considered using land capability data, excluding unsuitable areas accordingly. Four key GIS layers were used to capture ACCU-eligible and suitable land:
- Tasmanian Land Capability (Field Mapped and Modelled)
- Tasmanian Land Use
- TASVEG 5.0 Vegetation Map
- Infrastructure and Building Structures
