Soil Grids of Victorian - Wilting Point %

A set of Digital Soil Maps (mean, 5th and 95th percentile prediction values) of wilting point % across Victoria in geotiff format.

Grids of key soil properties have been produced for Victoria. These grids, in raster format, provide prediction and confidence interval values for key soil properties at a 90 m grid resolution for six set depths; 0 to 5 cm, 5 to 15 cm, 15 to 30 cm, 30 to 60 cm, 60 to 100 cm and 100 to 200 cm, across Victoria.

The grids have been designed to meet the specifications created by GlobalSoilMap (www.globalsoilmap.net) to develop and deliver detailed soil information in a consistent form.

The grids are a spatial interpolation of key soil properties to support modelling and decision making in resource management, agricultural production, land use policy and planning, and in further research such as ecosystem modelling.

The methodology used to develop the Soil Grids of Victoria has been based on that refined by the Australian Soil and Landscape Grid. Data and knowledge embedded into existing soil related datasets, e.g. soil profile and land mapping collections, have been key inputs. 

Whilst the new maps show an immense amount of fine scale detail, and are our best spatially continuous and exhaustive estimates of soil attributes across all of Victoria, they are most appropriately used for assessments of regional to state-wide trends of soil properties and their relationship with their environment and pedogenesis. Care should be taken when using the grids for local assessments and it is recommended that the confidence intervals are included at this scale.

TERN Cumberland Plain SuperSite Five Photopoint Image Collection

High quality digital site reference images are captured for the core 1 hectare vegetation plot of the site on an annual basis to provide context for researchers to understand the general layout and vegetation of the study site, and as a visual reference to monitor any changes over time. Photopoints will be taken annually using the five point photopoint method. The set of images for each year usually consists of twenty images: four images taken at each corner of the plot facing each of the four cardinal points, and four images taken from the centre of the plot facing each corner. 

The Cumberland Plain SuperSite was established in 2012 in endangered remnant Eucalyptus woodland and is subject to pressure from invasive weeds, altered fire regimes, urban development, conversion to agriculture and extreme climate events. However, the woodland is in excellent condition with the exception of edge effects. The site is located on the Hawkesbury Campus of the University of Western Sydney in New South Wales.  For additional site information, see https://deims.org/a1bb29d8-197c-4181-90d8-76083afd44bb/ .


Other images collected at the site include digital cover photography, phenocam time-lapse images taken from fixed overstorey cameras, and ancillary images of fauna and flora.

Cadastral data - Queensland series

Queensland's spatial cadastre datasets are changing! From a planned date of 1 July 2025 the current Digital Cadastral Database (DCDB) will be migrated to an entirely new operating environment, and there will be some changes to the data provided. Visit our Spatial Applications Support page (https://spatial-qld-support.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/QSUITE/pages/1067515932/Cadastre+and+Address+Modernisation+CAM) for more information.The Digital Cadastre is the spatial representation of every current parcel of land in Queensland, and its legal Lot on Plan description and relevant attributes. It provides the map base for systems dealing with land-related information. The Digital Cadastre is considered to be the point of truth for the graphical representation of property boundaries. It is not the point of truth for the legal property boundary or related attribute information, this will always be the plan of survey or the related titling information and administrative data sets.

Water sharing plans (WSP) are established under the Water Management Act 2000 (the Act) and are prepared for all water sources in NSW. These plans are also a component of Water Resources Plans prepared as a requirement of the Basin Plan 2012, covering water sources in the Murray-Darling Basin.WSP's are reviewed and replaced periodically (usually every ten years) to ensure the long-term health of ecosystems and communities in specific WSP areas. The review of a WSP includes a formal evaluation to assess appropriateness, efficiency of implementation, effectiveness in meeting plan objectives, and alignment with the Act's requirements.The evaluation follows a step-by-step process which includes a model scenario to represent the effects of Planned Environmental Water (PEW) rules in the WSP.This high-level ("No PEW") scenario enables a comparison of modelled flows at key locations within the river system between scenarios WITH and WITHOUT plan environmental rules to inform an assessment of the effectiveness of the PEW rules in the WSP.For information about this feature class please see WATER MODELLING-ModelledData-NoPEW page in SEED website.

NSW government schools by remoteness and SA4 grouping (2014-2024)

<strong>Data Notes:</strong>
<ul>
<li>

'SA4 grouping’ and ‘remoteness’ describe areas within NSW. Both are ABS standard categories. SA4 group relates to a predefined geographical area, based on population and labour markets, whereas remoteness is based on density of population.
</li>
<li>

From 2016 onwards, geographical data is reported by the ABS remoteness structure. The ABS remoteness structure uses 5 categories: Major Cities, Inner Regional, Outer Regional, Remote and Very Remote. Prior to 2016, MCEECDYA categories were used, which divided schools into four categories.
</li>
<li>

Since 2014, the department has used a geographical structure based on the new ABS Australian Statistical Geography Standard (ASGS). Groups of ASGS Statistical Area 4 (SA4) boundaries in NSW have been combined into 11 groups for reporting and publication of department data. Previous publications compared enrolments in DEC regions. Further information on SA4 groups is available in the Statistical Bulletin Explanatory Notes.
