2010 Index of Stream Condition - Stream Bed Width 100m Section Summary Table

The ISC_STREAMBED_WIDTH_S table is the Statistical Summary table for the Streambed Width metric at the 100m Section level.

River condition in Victoria is assessed every 5 years using the Index of Stream Condition (ISC). The Department of Environment and Primary Industries (DEPI) developed a methodology to assess the Physical Form and Riparian Vegetation components of the ISC using remote sensing data, specifically LIDAR and aerial photography. 

A State Wide mapping project was undertaken in 2010-13 to accurately map the Physical Form and Riparian Vegetation metrics of the ISC . Other ISC metrics were not assessed in the project and were derived from other sources.

The Physical Form and Riparian Vegetation Metric products are a combination of mapped Vector and Raster data as well as Tabular Summary Statistics about the mapped features. In the context of the project, the term Metrics is used to refer to both the mapped features and the summary statistics. 

Remote sensing data used includes 15cm true colour and infra-red aerial photography and four return multi-pulse LiDAR data. This source data was used to derive a variety of Raster data sets including Digital Terrain Models, Slope, Vegetation Height and Vegetation Cover. The Digital Terrain and Slope rasters were used to map Physical Form metrics including Stream Bed, Top of Bank and River Centre Lines while the Vegetation Height and Cover rasters were used to map the Riparian Vegetation metrics.
The Project Report "Aerial Remote Sensing for Physical Channel Form and Riparian Vegetation Mapping" describes the remote sensing and mapping approach used to create this data set.

Public Transport Accessibility Level (PTAL) - Regional Victoria

Public Transport Accessibility Level (PTAL) is a measure used in transport planning to assess how well a specific location is connected to the public transport network. The Car Parking Requirement Maps were developed using the Public Transport Accessibility Level (PTAL) methodology. The PTAL model for Victoria is a modified version of the methodology used interstate and internationally. Developed in the United Kingdom and adapted for Victorian conditions, datasets for both the Melbourne metrpolitan region and Regional Victoria are available.

The Victorian Government’s existing interactive mapping tool VicPlan will be updated to include a ‘Car Parking Requirement Maps’ layer which can be selected to view which Category applies to a site. This tool can be used alongside the CPR maps to determine applicable car parking requirements.

Marine Assets

This layer provides the boundaries of significant marine environmental assets which have been identified on the basis of their environmental value (at statewide, bioregional or local significance scale) for marine biodiversity and/or marine ecological processes. Victoria's marine protected areas, including the Marine National Parks and Marine Sanctuaries, are not included in this leayer unless they fall within the boundaries of larger identified asset areas.

Separate expert workshops were held to identify these marine environmental assets in each of the following marine regions: Port Phillip Bay, Western Port, Western Victoria and Gippsland. The relative environmental significance of each asset identified was also rated by experts using the following categories: statewide, bioregional or local. Within each category, assets whose value relates primarily to use by birds that are not exclusively marine were rated separately to those whose value relates to exclusively marine species or ecological processes. These significance ratings were assessed separately for each region but the comparability of asset ratings across regions was then reviewed.

This supersedes the earlier ASSET_MARINE layer.

Blue Whale feeding/ Bonney upweling and Blue Whale Distribution asset areas were also identified through the above process, but have not been included in the layer because they encompass the majority of Victorian waters.

Aquifer Salinity - Basal

This dataset contains groundwater salinity information for boreholes which had terminated at least 5m and no more than 50m above bedrock. The bores have been extracted predominantly from the Groundwater Management System (GMS) and the State Observation Bore Network (SOBN).

It should be noted that the analysis undertaken with the salinity data was only of a preliminary nature and should be treated with a critical approach. Local validation of the data (e.g. screen depths) needs to be undertaken in detail.

The dataset was compiled by GHD to inform the report 'Potential Influences of Geological Structures on Groundwater Flow Systems' for DEPI's Secure Allocation Future Entitlements (SAFE) Project.

Map of Victoria with locations of swooping birds populated by the public

The dataset is populated by the public as they encounter swooping birds during their nesting season. People are asked to pinpoint the location on the map, state the date the swooping occurred, species and number of birds involved and provide additional comment. The map is provided to inform the public of swooping bird "hot spots" so that they can prevent impacts from swooping birds, by avoiding areas temporarily. It is also useful for DEECA to gather intelligence on potential problem birds that may require management. The dataset contains records of swooping birds, displayed on a map of Victoria, including information on date of incident, location, species and number of birds implicated, and any additional comments about the incident.

Land units of North East Victoria

This dataset is the primary data output from the north-east land resource assessment project undertaken in 2001-02. It contains soil and land information at a scale of 1:100 000 for all freehold land in north-east Victoria. It also includes generic soil erosion risk assessments and agricultural capability.

At the map scale of this dataset soil-landform units are not homogeneous. For each defined soil-landform unit, dominant soil types were identified prior to assessing their capability to support various enterprises. Often a co-dominant and minor soil type have been described as part of this process.

Importantly it should be noted that soil attributes (for example texture, sodicity, pH) are expected to vary between acquired soil sites. As the variability of soil attributes within a map unit is difficult to predict, it is important to note that representative soils should be used as a guide only.

The study report describing the project methodology and dataset attributes is available from the Victorian Resources Online website (http://vro.depi.vic.gov.au/dpi/vro/neregn.nsf/pages/ne_soil_landform_survey)

Vicmap Transport - Road Register Line

TR_ROAD_REGISTER forms the basis of the road register for Victoria.

Road segements (TR_ROAD) are grouped by road name, road type, road suffix and locality using the TR_ROAD_LOCALITY_SECTION and TR_ROAD_LOCALITY tables to create a single line feature for each unique combination of values. 

This dataset compliments TR_ROAD. Where a road segement has multiple names, TR_ROAD_REGISTER will have multiple overlappling road lines while TR_ROAD will have one road with multiple names.

TR_ROAD_REGISTER facilitates road searching and efficent road name lablelling.

In addition the dataset has an atttribute MIN_CLASS_CODE which is the the minimum CLASS_CODE for all TR_ROAD road lines that have the unique cominbination of identifer vaules. For example, if the road segments associated with the unique road identifer have CLASS_CODES of 0 (Freeway), 1 (Highway) and 2 (Arterial), the MIN_CLASS_CODE of that road will be 0 (Freeway). This value faciliates feature filtering at different scales and symbolisation.
