Victorian Coastal Cliff Assessment - Cliff Face Landslip Areas (ASTaR) - Present day - 0.0m 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. 

ASTaR have been derived based on the geological unit type and cliff height. The methodology for defining ASTaR is
a new method undertaken at a high level and based on the existing cliff height and a defined slope
to identify the possible seaward extent of talus runout. For this state-wide/regional scale assessment, single values were derived for each component. This ‘building-block’ approach (ie: a combination of individual parameters) is expected to produce ‘upper bound’, conservative results, which identifies areas potentially exposed to coastal erosion, cliff instability and cliff slumping/talus

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.

2010 Index of Stream Condition - Bank Condition 100m Section Summary Table

The ISC2010_BANK_CONDITION_S table is the Statistical Summary table for the Bank Condition Metric at the 100m Section level. The Bank Condition Metric is an assessment of the proportion of the bank face that is eroding above expected rates.

The ISC2010_BANK_CONDITION_S table is designed to JOIN to the ISC2010_RIVER_CENTRELINES_S feature class.

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.

Geophysical Structure lines (1:250,000), Geophysical Interpretation of Linear Structural Features

This dataset contains linear geological structure data not included in GPGEOL - this includes anticlines, synclines and trends.

At scales larger than 1:120,000 the display is a combination of both 1:100,000 and 1:250,000 geophysical mapping. Recent 1:250,000 geophysical mapping has been of such quality and detail it has been used to supersede older coincident 1:100,000 mapping. This occurs in the following areas: St Arnaud 7524, Dunolly 7624, Charlton 7525, Wedderburn 7625 and part of Ararat 7423 are superseded by St Arnaud SJ54-4. Bendigo 7724, Heathcote 7824 and Nagambie 7924 are superseded by Bendigo SJ55-1. 

Balmoral 7223, Ararat 7423, Horsham SJ54-3 and St Arnaud SJ54-4 supersede Grampians 7323 where there is overlap.

The Ouyen SI54-15 and Horsham SJ54-3 map areas are datasets derived from a combination of Geological Interpretation of Basement Geophysical Features maps and Geological Interpretation of Post-Cratonic Geophysical Features maps performed by Moore, D. H.

This data has been collected by the Geological Survey of Victoria. This dataset is accompanied by other datasets representing geological polygons and boundaries, sub-surface geological polygons, miscellaneous lines and metamorphism.

Victorian Land Cover Mapping 2016

Land cover mapping data is an annual component of the Victorian Land Use Information System, the VLUIS. The land cover information has been created specifically for the VLUIS using time series analysis of the MOD13Q1 or MYD13Q1 products produced by NASA using data collected by the MODIS sensor and freely available on the Reverb | ECHO website.
Ground data is collected annually across Victoria using a stratified random sampling approach for calibration of the annual seasonal curves and validation of the classification output. The ground data is split into three groups with 50% used to develop classification rules, 25% used to produce interim validation results that feed back into the rule development process with the remaining 25% used to independently validate the final classification. Error matrices for each land cover dataset from 2009 have been produced from this final validation.

The TIMESAT GUI is used to create smoothed annual time series for the Normalised Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), Enhanced Vegetation Index (EVI) and the Red and Near Infrared (NIR) MOD13Q1 or MYD13Q1 bands using the Savitsky-Golay algorithm. A time series of 21 images was used and a suite of 11 seasonal parameters created that each numerically describe features of the annual seasonal curves for each band. In addition the standard deviation of the annual seasonal curve is calculated for each band and used in conjunction with the seasonal parameters.
A three-tiered hierarchical classification was developed to assign a dominant land cover class to each pixel. Initially, rules developed using the data mining tool See5 and / or expert knowledge were applied to the seasonal parameters and the annual standard deviation in conjunction with a GIS data-set of water bodies greater than 12.5ha in area to classify each pixel as either Tree, Non-tree or Water based on two data sets from the corporate spatial data library, HY_WATER_AREA_POLY.shp and VM_LITE_HY_WATER_AREA.shp; and are combined to form the water bodies layer. In addition, the primary classes are cross checked using data from preceding and following years to reduce misclassification prior to the secondary classification.
A secondary classification developed using rules based on expert knowledge and / or See5 is applied to split the primary class Tree into the secondary classes Native Woody Cover and Treed Production and the primary class Non-tree into the secondary classes Pasture/ Grassland and Crops.

Finally, a tertiary classification further divides the secondary class Treed Production into the tertiary classes Hardwood Plantation, Softwood Plantation and evergreen or deciduous Woody Horticulture and the secondary class Crops into the tertiary classes Brassicas, Legumes, Cereals and Non-Woody Horticulture based on rules developed using the data mining tool See5 and modified where appropriate by expert knowledge.

Victorian Coastline 2008

Coastline of Victoria based primarily on zero metre (0m) contour dataset from the Vicmap Elevation Coastal DEM and Contours product derived using LIDAR and reviewing this dataset against the most recent and highest resolution aerial photography available in the DSE CIP image repository.
Where LIDAR contours were absent or of poor quality, the coastline was digitised from recent API.
For MGA Zone 54, zero contour was largely incomplete, and 0.5m contour was used due to the absence of a satisfactory 0m contour.
Where no LIDAR and photography was available, Framework was used (including for internal state boundaries).
