Threatened Plant Living Collection Plan

This dataset contains a list of 200 plant species and their
priority as appropriate threatened species for planting in City of Melbourne
green spaces. This is based on a Threatened Species Assessment Tool developed
by Royal Botanic Gardens Victoria that was used to provide a framework to
assess and prioritise the inclusion of threatened species into landscape
plantings. The tool includes information and scoring for cultivation
requirements, conservation benefits and horticultural potential which are the
foundation of the assessment. Additional benefits specific to the City of
Melbourne and potential weed threat were also considered as part of the
assessment process. Higher priority was given to species which are the most
threatened and are indigenous to the City of Melbourne. 

From this assessment process, a priority list of 56 species
has been short-listed as appropriate threatened species for
planting.   

For inclusion in the Threatened Species Assessment Tool, all
species were required to be listed as threatened in Victoria. 

Scores were calculated based on
the following:
• Cultivation Requirements Subtotal = Cultivation Protocols + Propagation
Protocols

• Conservation Subtotal =
Germplasm Source + Conservation Status + Germplasm Origin + Provenance +
Additional Conservation Benefit

• Total Score = Cultivation
Requirements Subtotal + Conservation Subtotal + Additional Local Benefits
Subtotal

• Total Score including
Horticultural Potential = Cultivation Requirements Subtotal + Conservation
Subtotal + Additional Local Benefits Subtotal + Horticultural Potential

 

Thresholds were set in certain categories which resulted in
the removal of species from priority selection. Species with cells marked with
an asterisk (*) were removed from the final priority plant list. In addition,
an overall Total Score threshold of 20 was chosen for final species selection.

This dataset is based on the “City of Melbourne Threatened
Plant Living Collection Plan” produced by R. Larke, M. Hirst and J. Arnott of
the Royal Botanic Gardens Victoria, and N.S.G. Williams of the University of
Melbourne. For documented methods please refer to the report (attached).

The data and report was published in May 2023.

Indicators of wellbeing by year (Future Melbourne)

Future Melbourne Community Plan is the City of Melbourne’s premier planning document. It outlines a plan to grow Melbourne as a global, liveable, and sustainable city. The City of Melbourne accepted responsibility for monitoring the Future Melbourne indicators over the ten years from 2008 and reporting outcomes to Melbourne City Council, the public and City of Melbourne administration. City of Melbourne has commenced a review of the Future Melbourne 2008 plan this year with a view to writing a renewed Future Melbourne 2016-26 plan.



To be able to track Melbourne’s progress according to the aims set out in the Future Melbourne 2008 Plan, City of Melbourne developed and indicators framework including indicators for personal wellbeing and social connection, derived from the Australian Unity wellbeing survey. Australian Unity and the Australian Centre on Quality of Life at Deakin University have conducted national bi-annual population surveys for the last ten years and created an index of perceived wellbeing for the Australian population, including the population of Melbourne. Both organisations support the Index being used and developed as a scientific tool and encourage investigations into the usefulness of the Index by others.



City of Melbourne annually collects data on the personal wellbeing, social connection, self-reported health, volunteering behaviour, food security, acceptance of diverse cultures; engagement in decision making and arts and cultural activities of residents in Melbourne Local Government Area. To achieve this City of Melbourne commissioned a survey of 400 respondents.

Mahlstedt's fire plans of Melbourne 1888

This is a set of 24 maps of buildings around Melbourne's CBD, produced by Mahlstedt and Gee in 1888. They were published under the title "Standard plans of the city of Melbourne". They were digitised by the City of Melbourne and geo-referenced.



The same maps are avaiilable through the State Library of Victoria: http://handle.slv.vic.gov.au/10381/126848



To help you choose between the two sources, here are some of the differences:

- the SLV digitisations are higher quality, with fewer artefacts such as other maps bleeding through

- the SLV has a web viewer, enabling you to quickly view each map online

- the CoM versions are geo-referenced JPEG2000 files, meaning you can overlay them on a map

- the CoM files are available for bulk download



There is no copyright on these map images.

Sensor readings, with temperature, light, humidity every 5 minutes at 8 locations (trial, 2014 to 2015)

In 2012, Council and ARUP partnered with the University of Melbourne on a three year Australian Research Council Linkage Grant for Creating a Smart City through Internet of Things." The aim of the research was to develop new systems and algorithms that can help City administrators remotely monitor, understand and interpret real time information on urban environments"  The researchers are now applying the research in the City by deploying a three month 'real-world' data collection and testing trial. The environmental sensors, measuring light levels, humidity and temperature, have been deployed at Fitzroy Gardens and Library at the Dock. The data collected will assist the Urban Landscapes branch to better understand and communicate the impact of canopy cover for urban cooling.

2020 Building Footprints

This dataset shows the footprints of all structures within the City of Melbourne. A building footprint is a 2D polygon (or multi-polygon) representation of the base of a building or structure. The footprint is defined as the boundary of the structure where the walls intersect with the ground plane or podium, rather than an outline of the roof area (roofprint).

Where a building has a significant change in built form, multiple footprint polygons are ‘stacked’ vertically to define shape of the built form. This includes, and is not limited to:

- Tower
- Podium
- Setbacks/offsets

The Australian Height Datum (AHD) is the national vertical datum for Australia. The National Mapping Council adopted the AHD in May 1971 as the datum to which all vertical control mapping would be referred

The data was captured in May 2020.

The Influence of Geomorphology and Sedimentary Processes on Shallow-water Benthic Habitat Distribution: Esperance Bay, Western Australia

The mapping of seabed environments is fundamental to successful fisheries management and environmental monitoring, however, there is an emerging need to better characterise habitats based upon appropriate physical parameters. In this study, relationships between seabed geomorphology and the distribution of benthic habitats were examined using multibeam sonar, underwater video, predicted wave energy, and sediment data for Esperance Bay, part of the Recherche Archipelago. This shallow (&lt;50 m), high energy, biogenic sediment dominated environment is located in temperate southwestern Australia. Exposure to wave energy appears to determine the distribution of unconsolidated substrate, and is the most useful regional scale predictor of rhodolith and seagrass habitats. Although they are intermittently smothered by mobile sediments, limestone reefs provide habitat for a wide range of sessile organisms, even in very high wave exposure environments. The distribution of rhodolith beds is related to poorly sorted sediments that contain high gravel, mud, and CaCO3 percentages. Our results reveal that in the Recherche Archipelago, wave abrasion coupled with localised sediment transport and accumulation play a major role in increasing the diversity of inner shelf benthic habitats. This highlights the value of assessing geomorphic processes in order to better understand the distribution and structure of benthic habitats.
