Landsystems

The land systems of Victoria, as described and delineated by Rowan in 1989, provide a statewide coverage of land type that are applicable to a wide range of land resource management and planning programs. This dataset consolidates a broad range of land resource information drawn from an uneven base to provide a consistent, if limited, coverage of the lands of Victoria. The explicit links with the original sources of data have been retained. The data set was developed from a range of studies of varying methologies and intensities over some forty years. 
The reliability of the information varies across regions accordingly.

Open Space for Everyone 30 Year Investment Framework Measures - Enhanced Climate Change Resilience

The 30 Year Investment Opportunities Framework will guide investment in the development of Melbourne’s metropolitan open space system.
The Framework responds to the following issues identified in the Open Space for Everyone Strategy:
•   There is an existing inequity of access to open space provision across the metropolitan area.
•   The current measures used to define this inequity are quantitative only, and is based on out-of-date data. 
•   There is currently no alternative cost effective and replicable, decision-making framework that considers qualitative and quantitative spatial data and information sources. 
•   Consequently, there is also no evidence-based metropolitan wide guidance as to ‘where to invest and why’ that would help address current inequity and respond to emerging needs.
•   Melbourne doesn’t have an integrated, metropolitan-wide investment plan that identifies regional and landscape scale gaps in the network across municipal boundaries. 
The Framework:
The Framework is a planning and investment tool that will be used by State Government, Local Government and Land Managers to prioritise funding to open space projects that have the greatest impact on health and wellbeing, creating a healthier biodiversity, responding to climate change and delivering social and economic benefits.
The Framework aligns to the Open Space for Everyone Strategy. Decision making criteria have been developed as qualitative and quantitative measures for the four Strategy goals:
•   Improved community health and wellbeing.
•   Healthier biodiversity.
•   Enhanced climate change resilience.
•   Maximised economic and social benefits.

Coal Model Boundary

Extent of the Digital 3D Geological Model of the Latrobe Valley Coal Resource.

This polygon defines the area covered by the 2011 version of the Latrobe Valley Coal Model. The model is intended as a regional scale tool for supporting the management of the resource, matching coal to development opportunities and informing land use planning. It captures a century of coal delineation work in a powerful, flexible and contemporary format. 9086 cores have been modelled (an increase of 641 bores over the 2008 version) over a total area of 4912 km2, including all Gippsland brown coal fields identified in DPI's inventory of coal resources. Seams have been extended into the Seaspray Depression covering the Longford, Boodyarn, Won Wron, Greenmount, Alberton and Gelliondale coal fields; as well as into the Moe Swamp covering the Moe and Yarragon coal fields. The model is based on a pre-mine topography and substantial coal has already been extracted.

Surface Geochemistry Samples (being Superceded by GEOCHEMISTRY)

Surface Geochemistry Samples is derived from Minerals and Petroleum's SITES Oracle RDBMS. Data have been obtained from company reports of expired mineral Exploration and Mining Licences since 1965.

A surface sample is typically taken to comprise a sample taken from the weathered profile, and which is the only sample taken at that location. It may be a soil or it may be a sediment taken from an active stream bed. Though most soil samples are taken from the B- or C-horizon (approx. 10-40 cm depth) the dataset may, for example, include a sample taken from 2 m depth and obtained by augering. There is, thus, a continuum between surface geochemistry and boreholes datasets.
