Water Regulations Data (BoM) - Watercourse Level

The Bureau of Meteorology (Bureau) receives water data, measured at stations around Australia, from organisations named in the Water Regulations (2008). Time series data collected from approximately 6500 measurement stations across Australia are available. This includes the following nine data subcategories:

Watercourse Level (Water Regulations subcategory 1a)
Watercourse Discharge (Water Regulations subcategory 1b)
Storage Level (Water Regulations subcategory 3a)
Storage Volume (Water Regulations subcategory 3b)
Rainfall (Water Regulations subcategory 4a)
Electrical Conductivity of surface water @ 25C (Water Regulations subcategory 9a)
Turbidity of surface water (Water Regulations subcategory 9d)
pH of surface water (Water Regulations subcategory 9g)
Temperature of surface water (Water Regulations subcategory 9h)

The above data subcategories are available in the Water Data Online product - http://www.bom.gov.au/waterdata/.

Summary Data: Introduced Species Occurrences by Marine Ecoregion

Summary of species occurrence data from 1900 to 2020 for Australian marine species organised by IMCRA region and status as an introduced or invasive species using the Global Register of Introduced and Invasive Species (GRIIS) list for Australia. Counts are provided by species and IMCRA region for:

The total number of occurrence records within the region, for a given GRIIS status and time period
The number of distinct species recorded within the region, for a given GRIIS status and time period  

The GRIIS list identifies species that are known or believed to have been introduced to Australia. Species that are not included in the GRIIS Australia list are treated here as native species. The GRIIS list also identifies a subset of introduced species as invasive species based on knowledge that these species have had a harmful impact. This dataset organises species occurrences using these GRIIS data to assign species to one of three categories:

Native – not an introduced species
Introduced – an introduced species that is not considered invasive
Invasive – an introduced species that is considered invasive  

The GRIIS lists have been compiled by experts with knowledge of introduced and invasive species in each country and are still being improved. It should particularly be noted that version 1.6 of the GRIIS Australia list includes a number of species which are native to Australia but which have been translocated to new parts of the country for conservation purposes. In future versions of the GRIIS Australia list, these species will be appropriately identified and can be excluded as required. This is important since the list does not indicate the areas in which the species is considered to have been introduced (including translocated). These species were manually excluded before the dataset was generated, but this version should be treated with caution. Future versions of this dataset will benefit from improvements to the GRIIS Australia list.  
Occurrence records were aggregated and organised by the Atlas of Living Australia (ALA, https://ala.org.au/) and include survey and monitoring data collected and managed by the Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS, https://imos.org.au/) and the Terrestrial Ecosystem Research Network (TERN, https://tern.org.au/).

Summary Data: Introduced Species Occurrences by Terrestrial Ecoregion

Tweed River Floodplain Prioritisation Study

The Coastal Floodplain Prioritisation Study covered seven estuaries on the NSW floodplain.  The study included an extensive data collection and collation process to improve understanding of the processes and areas that contribute to poor water quality and improve overall floodplain management. The data delivered here includes information on floodplain drainage infrastructure, soil stratigraphy and hydraulic conductivity, sea level rise vulnerability and drain cross sections.  The final outcomes of the prioritisation for the Tweed River floodplain with respect to acid and blackwater generation is also provided.

Dog off-leash parks

Dogs are welcome at many different parks in the City of Sydney local area, but are prohibited from playgrounds, sports courts and enclosed sports ovals.    While some on-leash restrictions do apply, many parks allow your pet to be off its leash at all times. We clearly signpost off-leash, on-leash and prohibited-areas and provide dog litter bag dispensers at all off-leash parks so owners can clean up after their pets.   This dataset contains the locations of dog-off leash parks in our local area including their address, details of any restrictions on time or location and agency in charge of the park.   For more information on dog off-leash parks, visit the City of Sydney website.

Local Development Performance Monitoring 2015-16

The LDPM data provides an outline of the performance of the NSW planning system and information on local and regional development determined by councils, private certifiers and joint regional planning panels.
Councils provide the Department with information on each DA and Section 96 modification application (S96) determined by council, and on CDC's determined by council or private certifiers. This is supplemented by information from joint regional planning panels. However, the majority of the data continues to come from councils.
The department issued councils with a template for data and explanatory material including data definitions. Councils generally extract their information from DA tracking databases or, for smaller country councils, DA registers.
Data analysis was undertaken by the Department using standard calculations (for a detailed explanation, refer to the "Data Quality Statement" tab of the Summary Data attached as a resource to this data set ).

National education initiatives and a number of online education services rely on a current and accurate list of schools in Australia. In order to operate, schools must be registered with the respective school registration authority in each state or territory. ACARA has obtained the list from all 14 school registration authorities in Australia in order to create the Australian Schools List. This list provides an update of all schools and campuses in Australia. It also includes school location, school type and school sector attributes.The ASL was last updated on 28 May 2020 to reflect Term 2 - 2020

Local Development Performance Monitoring 2006-07

The data in this publication provides an overview of development trends in NSW for 2006-07, aspects of the performance of the 152 councils in NSW in assessing local development, and general indications of the performance of the NSW planning system.
The information contained in the attached report was collected by surveying all councils on development applications (DAs), section 96(s96) modifications, complying development certificates (CDCs) and post development consent certificates (building and subdivision) determined during 2006-07.
The data used is as reported by councils.
This year's data provides substantial information on the local development planning system, covering the following key areas:

DAs by number and proportion
s96 modifications to change aspect of an existing approved DA
CDCs by number and proportion
Total value of DAs
Number of DAs determined by value
DAs gross determination times and net determination times by value
Types of development by number and processing time
Court cases and legal expenses and reviews
Staff involved in DA processing and the nature of determinations
Number of post development consent certificates.

Information is presented on a State-wide, regional, and individual council basis.
Where possible, the data has been compared to the 2005-06 survey data, and in a few cases previous year's data, to understand trends. However, there are differences in the way the 2006-07 data was collected and analysed, which influence the degree to which comparisons can be made - refer to Appendix1 of the attached report for further details.
The publication does not assess the performance of councils or private certifiers in assessing subsequent stages of the approval process, i.e. assessing applications for a constructions certificate or inspections during and post construction. The publication focuses on quantitative data rather than qualitative information.
