Emergency Water Supply Points

Victoria has a network of about 300 emergency water supply points (EWSPs). The EWSPs provide water carting for emergency stock and domestic purposes, during severe dry seasonal conditions and surface water scarcity. Some sites are also equipped to supply water to firefighting vehicles. 

The Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning (DELWP) oversees the network of emergency water supply points.

The EWSPs are managed by various state agencies, including local councils and urban and rural water corporations. These state agencies are referred to as the EWSP Manager for maintenance, access and use issues, and for further information.

There are three main types of EWSPs accessible to the public for water carting:
- Council bores - access groundwater.
- Urban standpipes - are connected to reticulated potable water systems. These are managed by urban water corporations and access is subject to water availability. A permit may be needed and costs may apply as they are considered a commercial use.
- Rural standpipes - access channels or reservoirs. These are managed by rural water corporations

PLM25 overlays representing Wilderness Zones

This dataset was created in conjunction with PLM25, to represent the management overlays. The attributes are based on the PLM25 structure. 
The overlays have been mapped at 1:25 000, using VicMap topographic data to create more accurate and identifiable boundaries.

PLM25_OVERLAYS is located under the CROWNLAND schema. It has been created in conjunction with PLM25 to ensure the overlays match the PLM25 land management categories.

PLEASE NOTE: This dataset now replaces the PLM100 overlays.

PLM25_OVERLAYS_WZ is a view of PLM25_OVERLAYS.

This dataset is a representation of the certified plans - the gazettal and certified plans are the official boundaries.

Currently the creation process is not automated or synchronised with PLM25 updates.

Victorian Wetland Inventory (Current Mapped Wetlands_NVR Map)

This dataset is a copy of the WETLAND_CURRENT dataset prior to the 2025 update. Polygons showing the extent and types of wetlands in Victoria. WETLAND_CURRENT was created in 2013 and was derived from WETLAND_1994 (the state's first wetland geospatial inventory) and several local and regional wetland datasets. A number of updates have occurred to the dataset during 2014, 2017 and 2021. The 2014 update incorporated new regional mapping, some supplementary mapping and repositioning of planimetrically inaccurate wetlands. Supplementary mapping involved identifying and delineating wetlands which had not previously been mapped, but did not modify the extent of existing wetlands. It was undertaken primarily using aerial photograph interpretation (photos from 2007 to 2011) supplemented with existing geospatial datasets that provided context and informed the identification of wetland boundaries (e.g. vegetation mapping, topography). Wetlands were classified (according to the new classification framework) into primary categories based on wetland system type, salinity regime, water regime, water source, dominant vegetation and wetland origin. The 2017 update improved the accuracy of the layer by updating wetland mapping and attributes in the Melbourne area and for alpine bogs and fens in East and West Gippsland catchment regions. It also involved correcting inaccurate classification attributes and correcting wetland polygons for individual wetlands based on new data and feedback from wetland inventory users. The 2021 update incorporates new mapping and refinements to existing wetland polygons for several regional wetland datasets. These include Tootgarook Swamp, Alpine Bogs, Mitchell River Floodplain Wetlands, Melbourne Water Billabongs and Mallee CMA Wetlands. The dataset currently consists of 38,799 polygons totalling 784,120 ha.

Permian Geological Basement, Goulburn-Murray Area

This dataset defines the extent of the Permian glacial sediments in the Goulburn-Murray area. According to Holdgate (1995) "the Permian sediments extend south coincident with the main river valleys of the Loddon, Campaspe, Goulburn and Ovens and can extend into the highlands. They appear to exert an influence on the location of the early Tertiary Renmark Group, on the deep leads and in themselves are controlled by underlying basement faults".

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.

Victorian Coastal Cliff Assessment - Instability Areas (ASCCIE) - 2100 - 1.4m SLR

The Victorian Coastal Cliff Assessment - Instability Areas (ASCCIE) is a digital dataset consisting of multiple spatial layer outputs from modelled erosion scenarios. The dataset is recommended for use at the statewide / regional scale along the Victorian coastline. Application of the data should be guided by the accompanying Victorian Coastal Cliff Assessment technical reports and expert advice. The product is not suitable for individual property scale assessments. 

Consolidated shorelines, which include soil and rock cliffs, are not able to rebuild following periods of erosion but rather are subject to a one-way process of degradation. ASCCIEs typically have two components:

• Toe Erosion
A gradual retreat of the cliff toe caused by weathering, marine and bio-erosion processes. This retreat will be affected by global process such as sea level rise and potentially increased soil moisture. Future cliff toe position based on historical erosion rates with a factor applied to allow for the effect of future sea level rise.

• Cliff Instability
Episodic instability events are predominately due to a change in loading or material properties of the cliff or yielding along a geological structure. In soft cliffs, instability causes the cliff slope to flatten to a slope under which it is “stable” (geo-mechanically). Soil cliff slope instabilities are influenced by processes that erode and destabilise the cliff toe, including marine processes, weathering and biological erosion or change the stress within the cliff slope. Most of the hard cliffs are stable at very steep angles. Instability events may range from small-scale instabilities (block or rock falls) or discontinuities, to cliff slope instability cause by large-scale and deep-seated mass movement. The latter mode of failure in hard cliffs is rare.

The product is an update to the Victorian Coastal Cliff Assessment, Stage 1. Included datasets for Stage 2a supersede the Stage 1 outputs. The Stage 2a project report should be read in conjunction with the Stage 1 report. Application of the data should be guided by the accompanying "Victorian Coastal Cliff Assessment, Stage 2a technical report" (Tonkin &amp; Taylor 2025) read in conjunction with the Stage 1 technical report, combined with appropriate expert advice.

East Asian-Australasian Flyway Shorebird Sites in Victoria

Polygons defining the East Asian-Australasian Flyway Shorebird Sites in Victoria. The East Asian-Australasian Flyway extends from the Arctic Circle through Eastern and South East Asia to Australia and New Zealand and encompasses 22 countries. The East Asian-Australasian Shorebird Site Network was launched in 1996. It is now known as the East Asian-Australasian Flyway Site Network. Corner Inlet was listed as a shorebird site at the launch of the East Asian-Australasian Shorebird Site Network in 1996. In 2000, two other Victorian sites joined the network: Western Port, Port Phillip Bay (Western Shoreline) and Bellarine Peninsula. In 2006, Shallow Inlet Marine and Coastal Park and Discovery Bay Coastal Park were added. Adding these sites to the network provides recognition for Victoria's most important shorebird sites.

Major Residential Redevelopments Sites 2018

The Urban Development Program (UDP) monitors and reports on major residential redevelopment projects across metropolitan Melbourne. Major redevelopment projects are those comprising ten or more dwellings. Data is collected from commercial data sources and through analysis of aerial imagery, and is verified through consultations with local council representatives.
These include projects which may have an existing planning permit, or are in the planning processes, those that are current under construction, as well as potential longer term projects on sites that local councils have identified for residential purposes.
A timing classification is attributed to each project based on commercial data sources, consultation with local councils, and the stage the project has reached in the planning process. The Urban Development Program reports on major redevelopment projects using the following categories:
¿   Completed (a project was completed from Jan 2017 to Jan 2019)
¿   Under Construction (a project was under construction at Jan 2019)
¿   Firm (Recent planning approval, project with pre-sales)
¿   Likely (In planning assessment, planning permit extension may be required to develop)
¿   Possible (Long term redevelopment site, permit lapsed ).

While the UDP acknowledges a proportion of proposed projects may be abandoned or delayed, the classification process provides an indicator of available supply provided there is sufficient demand. In addition, it is acknowledged there are also sites within the established parts of Melbourne that may be suitable for residential development into the future but have not yet been identified. The UDP will continue to report on these sites as they are identified for redevelopment for residential purposes.
It should also be noted that the timings attached to these projects are indicative. Construction rates can be cyclical in nature, and highly dependent on underlying demand and pre-sales, economic cycles and industry capacity. This can mean that stated development intentions will vary from on the-ground construction activity over time and by location.

Vicmap Address is Victoria's authoritative geocoded database of property address points. The data includes predominately, but not exclusively, locational property address identifiers assigned by Local Government, considered to be the primary creator and custodian of property address. If accessible, other 'real life' property addresses created and used by the community, but not recognized by Local Government including retirement villages, assisted care facilities, industrial and public housing estates etc. are included. The 2011/2012 audit against Local Government addressing revealed a 97.41% match rate, increased from 92.43% in 2008/2009 following the 2009 Address Completion Initiative. Key validation fields are 'source' and 'source_verified', respectively indicating the address source and date last validated against that source. The minimum address attributes required for a property address to be included in Vicmap Address are road name and locality. However, the principal address details include the unit/house number(s), road name (including any type or suffix) and locality (town/suburb/rural district). Vicmap Address is jointly maintained with Vicmap Property (VMPROP), with every address relating to a VMPROP record, joined through a property_pfi link. Many additional attributes are included, where available, to facilitate use and relevance to the user community.
N.B. Specifically excluded are non-property related, and electronic address details such as email, post office (PO) boxes, roadside delivery points (RSD's), roadside mail boxes (RMB's) and the like.
