ACTGOV Grasslands




Grasslands of the Territory include a rich assemblage of flora and fauna species that combine into a unique ecosystem. These grasslands are a priority for protection and management as they contribute to our natural biodiversity, our history and heritage, and local amenity and community. Natural Temperate Grasslands are an Endangered Ecological Community in the ACT (Nature Conservation Act 2014) and Critically Endangered Ecological Community under the EPBC Act 1999. Other native and exotic grasslands in the ACT can also have some conservation significance as they support important populations of threatened fauna and flora.

Natural Temperate Grassland occurs in areas where few trees grow because of factors such as low temperatures, low rainfall and infertile or clay soils. Only 2% to 10% of the lower elevation grasslands in south-eastern Australia remain in high ecological condition, eight grassland species of the ACT are listed as endangered or vulnerable and some of the constituent plants and animals are under threat. Temperate grasslands are considered one of the most threatened Australian ecosystems. https://www.act.gov.au/environment/animals-and-plants/act-threatened-species. Extensive areas of native grassland in Namadgi National Park are to be field checked to determine whether they qualify as Natural Temperate Grassland. 

More information on threatened species occurring in grasslands in the ACT can be found at: https://www.act.gov.au/environment/animals-and-plants/act-threatened-species

The 2017 ACT Native Grassland Conservation Strategy and associated action plans guide the protection, management and restoration of native grasslands and its component species for the next 10 years. See a summary of the strategy. This strategy supersedes Action Plan 28 ACT Lowland Native Grassland Conservation Strategy (Environment ACT, 2005).

Fit for purpose: This mapping is fit for use at a 1:10000 scale. Significant advances are being made towards a high resolution vegetation map for the ACT that is suitable for use at scales ranging from broad regional planning to local planning and property planning. However, Natural Temperate Grassland condition can fluctuate widely depending on seasonal conditions and thus boundaries and presence may fluctuate.

ACTGOV ACT Electoral Division




In preparation for the 19 October 2024 ACT Legislative Assembly election, the Electoral Act 1992 provides that a redistribution of ACT Legislative Assembly electorates must begin as soon as practicable 2 years before the date of an ACT election. The redistribution determined the boundaries and names for 5 electorates, each with 5 members, for the 2024 ACT Legislative Assembly election. The Augmented Electoral Commission Final Determination Instrument was notified on 14 September 2023 and the final report tabled in the Assembly on 24 October 2023.
The Augmented Electoral Commission determined the boundaries for the 2024 ACT Legislative Assembly election as follows:


Brindabella, a five-Member electorate comprising the district of Tuggeranong and the districts of Booth, Cotter River, Paddy’s River, Rendezvous Creek, Tennent and Mount Clear; 

Ginninderra, a five-Member electorate comprising the district of Belconnen (excluding the suburbs of Giralang and Kaleen); 

Kurrajong, a five-Member electorate comprising the district of Canberra Central (excluding the suburbs of Deakin, Forrest, Red Hill and Yarralumla), and the districts of Jerrabomberra (including the entire suburb of Hume), Kowen and Majura; 

Murrumbidgee, a five-Member electorate comprising the districts of Molonglo Valley, Weston Creek, Woden Valley, Coree (including the village of Uriarra) and Stromlo, and the Canberra Central suburbs of Deakin, Forrest, Red Hill and Yarralumla; and

ACTGOV SECTION

Sections are a small grouping of blocks (usually less than 50) defined for land administration purposes. The dataset depicts the authoritative boundaries of a collection of blocks with the urban area (rural area has no sections). Section boundaries : 


do not overlap each other or Districts and Divisions. 
are often defined using physical features such as roads, so as to aggregate a manageable number of blocks of similar type. 
are shared with blocks and divisions.
exist only within urban areas.

ACTGOV BLOCK


The position and extents of a parcel of land, usually the smallest unit of land that can be held under an individual lease without a requirement for further subdivision. URBAN blocks are defined as blocks that appear within a division and have division and section identifiers.  RURAL blocks do not usually appear within a division, but may do so if they remain from before the division was created. Blocks may have a lifecycle stage or Proposed, Registered, Approved, Occupied or Retired.



PROPOSED: The block is proposed but has not reached any other stage.
REGISTERED: The block appears on a Deposited Plan that has been registered with the Land Titles Office.
APPROVED: The block appears on an Approved Plan that has been signed by the Territory Planning Section and the Project Officer for the development.
OCCUPIED: The block is leased, but does not appear on a registered plan. Leases over unregistered blocks may not be registered at the Land Titles Office, so this stage is used for unregistered blocks with unregistered leases. This normally only occurs in rural areas.
RETIRED: Retirement of a block occurs when it is replaced by another block.
Note that block boundaries may not always align exactly. The legal definition of a block is defined in the Deposited plan.

ACT Nature Conservation Act Listed Species

Nature Conservation Act 2014

This list brings together species listed under the Nature Conservation Act 2014 that receive additional protection in the Australian Capital Territory, including species on the Threatened Native Species List and the Protected Native Species List.

The Threatened Native Species List identifies native plants and animals at risk of extinction or significant decline in the ACT. Species on this list have Special Protection Status, which triggers statutory planning, licensing and compliance requirements, and may require the preparation of Conservation Advice and Action Plans based on scientific assessment and recommendation by the ACT Scientific Committee.

The Protected Native Species List identifies non‑threatened native species that nevertheless require additional protection due to factors such as rarity within the ACT, data deficiency, vulnerability to trade or collection, or risk in other jurisdictions. Species are included in defined categories such as restricted trade, rare, and data deficient, using criteria based solely on scientific matters and developed in consultation with the Scientific Committee.

Ngunnawal species names are included where available, provided in consultation with the Winanggaay Ngunnawal Language Aboriginal Corporation.

Burden of disease broad disease groups with age groups





Burden of disease analysis is a technique that is used as a measure of population health.  It is used to compare the impact of different diseases, conditions, injuries and risk factors on a population. This impact is a combination of the fatal (years of life lost due to premature death, YLL) and non-fatal (years lived in ill health or with disability, YLD) burden, they are then combined into a summary measure of health called Disability-Adjusted Life Years, or DALY. A DALY combines the impact of dying early and living with illness.  




In 2018 the disease groups with the highest age standardised Disability Adjusted Life Years (DALY) rates for the ACT were cancer (27.5 per 1,000 population), mental and substance use disorders (26.4 per 1,000 population), musculoskeletal conditions (26.4 per 1,000) and cardiovascular diseases (20.5 per 1,000 population).

NESP MaC Project 1.32 - Scoping Study: Supporting Regional Planning in Northern Australia, 2021-2022 (JCU)

This record provides an overview of the NESP Marine and Coastal Hub small-scale - "Scoping Study: Supporting Regional Planning in Northern Australia". 

Development in northern Australia has had bi-partisan political support for many years and thus receives significant policy and funding profile.  However, the agenda is widely considered to have under-achieved against aspirations, becoming a heavily contested space with poor outcomes for development and environment.  Disputes over environmental issues are central to this contestation affecting development proponents, government agency decision-makers and affected communities.  This project aimed to make a positive contribution to easing (often known as de-risking) this contestation.  A key issue has been availability of agreed data/information/knowledge to all parties. This project planned to run this agenda in partnership with the Resilient Landscapes Hub and the CRC for Developing Northern Australia, thus covering terrestrial, marine and socio-economic issues in strategic partnership.  Given the many parties and wide range of issues involved, the project required extensive planning and consultation in the first year in order to develop a coherent research investment strategy for future years.

Outputs
 • Final technical report with analysed data and a short summary of recommendations for policy makers of key findings [written]

ACT HTS - 04 Travel Distances (2022)

This spreadsheet replicates selected data tables from the ACT &amp; Queanbeyan Household Travel Survey data dashboard.
Please refer to the attached spreadsheet on this page.

About the Travel Distances theme
'Distance of travel' shows the overall trip length distribution. This provides a quick reference of the ranges that trips tend to fall in.

For example, most travel in the ACT is of a relatively short nature. Across all modes, 16% of trips are under 1km in length and just over half (51%) are under 5km in length. An area analysis is not possible for this theme as the sample size is limited for each distance range, particularly once the mode filters are applied.
Note that the tables provided represent a small subset of data available. Only the number and proportion of trips are shown. Use of the dashboard or raw survey datasets allow more complex descriptions of travel to be developed. 

Source data
The data shown is not a Census of travel, but a large survey of several thousand households from across the ACT and Queanbeyan. As with any survey there will be some variability in the accuracy of the results, and how well they reflect the movement of the entire population. For instance, if the survey were to be completed on another day, or with a different subset of households, the results would be slightly different. 
Interpretations of the data should keep this variability in mind: these are estimates of the broad shape of travel only. Even for the same person, travel behaviour will vary according to many factors: day of week, month of year, season, weather, school holidays, illness, family responsibilities, work from home opportunities, etc. Again, by summarising the travel of many different people, the data provides a view of average weekday patterns.

In interpreting the data, it is worth noting the following points:
-    A zero cell does not necessarily mean the travel is never made, but rather that the survey participants did not make this travel on their particular survey day.
-    Values are rounded, and may not sum to the totals shown.
Trip time periods are assigned using the mid point of travel:
-   AM peak (8am to 9am), PM peak (5pm to 6pm), Interpeak (9am to 5pm), Off-peak (after 6pm)

The survey is described on the Transport Canberra and City Services' website:
[Household Travel Survey homepage]

Cell annotations and notes
Some cells have annotations added to them, as follows:
~    : Unreliable estimate (small sample or wide confidence interval)

Extractive Industry Interest Areas

The dataset displays areas identified by the Geological Survey of Victoria to be of known future interest to the extractive minerals industry. Areas are based on suitable geological occurrence and also take into account existing local government planning schemes. They are intended to provide a guide to local government in developing future planning policy. This dataset was updated in October 2023 to exclude areas where planning controls prohibit extractive industries as at late 2022. The dataset was updated in May 2024 to match the cadastral boundaries where necessary that were updated as part of the Digital Cadastre Modernisation project. The dataset was updated in July 2026 to remove areas made redundant by newer planning controls, including Strategic Extractive Resource Areas (SERAs), improving clarity while retaining EIIAs in locations of ongoing strategic relevance.
