Boyagin Wandoo Woodland Acoustic Data Collection - TERN

This dataset contains audio files for TERN Boyagin Wandoo Woodland SuperSite. Long-term recordings of the environment can be used to identify sound sources of interest, characterise the soundscape, aid in the assessment of fauna biodiversity, monitor temporal trends and track environmental changes.


The site was established in 2017 at the Boyagin Nature Reserve with research plots located in Wandoo woodland (<em>Eucalypt sp.</em>). The core 1&nbsp;ha plot is located in a dense eucalypt woodland. For additional site information, see <a href="https://www.tern.org.au/tern-observatory/tern-ecosystem-processes/boyagin-wandoo-woodland-supersite/">Boyagin Wandoo Woodland SuperSite</a>


In 2018 an acoustic recorder was set up to collect audio data for a total of 12 hours per day, split between six hours around dawn and six hours around dusk. The recording schedule aimed at capturing morning and evening bird choruses while minimizing memory and battery requirements. A long-term spectrogram has been generated for each audio file to aid in data exploration.


Data are made available through the data link. For downloading large amount of data, please follow these instructions <a href="https://ternaus.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/TERNSup/pages/2530148353/How+to+download+TERN+s+acoustic+data+in+bulk">How to download TERN's acoustic data in bulk</a>

Fleurieu Peninsula Wetlands Collated Plant Survey Data, Version 2.0

This is a collated plant survey data from the Fleurieu Peninsula wetlands (version.2). There is a biological and a spatial component to the dataset. [1] Biological data: This was collated from several sources, collected over the period 2000-2009 and used in the analyses for the paper <i>Diversity patterns of seasonal wetland plant communities mainly driven by rare terrestrial species</i> (Deane et al - Biodiversity and Conservation, DOI:  <em>10.1007/s10531-016-1139-1</em>). Biological data were pre-processed to remove sampling bias (the method is described in the paper). Data are presence-absence of 215 native plant species (i.e., exotic species removed) from 76 seasonal wetlands (size range 0.5 - 35 ha) located on the Fleurieu Peninsula, South Australia (centred on latitude 35.5 °S). [2] Spatial data: For each of the 76 wetlands a small amount of spatial data is also provided. Area, centroids, elevation and catchment. 
The data could be of interest for any typical community data analysis (e.g. beta diversity, similarity, assembly), provided only native wetland plant species were of interest. Data were used to model extinction risk, species-area relationships, occupancy distributions and so on.

Measles public exposure sites in Victoria

This dataset contains a list of current public measles exposure sites in Victoria. Exposure sites have been identified through public health investigations of confirmed measles cases. A list of public exposure sites are published to inform the Victorian community and health professionals of locations, dates and times where potential exposure to measles may have occurred. Listed exposure sites are specifically of public locations where measles cases had attended in their infectious period and do not reflect a complete list of all possible exposure locations such as private addresses. 

Data are updated on an ongoing basis as new exposure sites are identified, and sites are removed once the symptom monitoring period has passed. Listed exposure sites reflect information available at the time of publication and may be revised as investigations progress. This dataset should not be used as a definitive record of measles transmission or a substitute to clinical or public health advice.  

Please note that this table may contain no records if there are no public exposure sites at a given time.

MAIC scheme insights 2022-2023

Overview

Compulsory third party (CTP) insurance in Queensland provides financial protection for motorists in the event of a motor vehicle crash. It also delivers fair and timely access to rehabilitation for people who are injured. It is conveniently bundled with vehicle registration to ensure that all registered Queensland motorists receive this important protection.

At the Motor Accident Insurance Commission (MAIC), we regulate CTP insurance in Queensland to ensure it meets these objectives. This year, we continued to review and improve our adherence to our core objectives. Read on to learn more.



Highlights from 2022-2023

During the 2022–23 financial year, we:
<ul>
<li>achieved Australia’s first prosecution for claim farming resulting in $1M in fines issued</li>
<li>commenced a review of Queensland’s CTP insurance scheme to ensure its sustainability while preserving its excellent fairness and affordability</li>
<li>invested in research and initiatives that aim to reduce the incidence and effects of road trauma</li>
<li>continued to improve the experience of managing CTP insurance claims, most notably through our online treatment plans and injury coding assistant</li>
<li>celebrated the tenth anniversary of PCYC Queensland’s Braking the Cycle program which has supported thousands of learner drivers to obtain their driver licence</li>
<li>commenced a series of CTP claims forums for industry partners to improve the experience of CTP insurance claimants</li>
<li>renewed five-year funding agreements for Metro North Hospital and Jamieson Trauma Institute and the Road Safety Data Bureau within the Department of Transport and Main Roads</li>
<li>collaborated with stakeholders including at the BiiG 2023 conference, Australian Lawyers Alliance Queensland Conference 2023 and Queensland Law Society Symposium 2023.</li>
</ul>



On the horizon

In the year ahead, we will:
<ul>
<li>improve our CTP insurer supervision framework to respond to changes in the market</li>
<li>support a smooth and stable transition of RACQ Insurance’s CTP insurance policies to other insurers</li>
<li>complete the Scheme review 2023 report and implement any approved actions</li>
<li>progress the next phase of our innovation journey, exploring cloud-based architecture solutions</li>
<li>continue to support research and initiatives that reduce the incidence and effects of road trauma</li>
<li>finalise and promote new CTP Claimant Experience: Guiding Principles together with industry</li>
<li>increase information security through enhancing our services and encouraging industry adoption of ISO 27001</li>
<li>improve and automate the way we monitor and manage data quality.</li>
</ul>

Great Western Woodlands, Five Photopoint Image Collection

High quality digital site reference images are captured for the core 1 ha 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. 

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