Natural Resource Management (NRM) Regions (2010)

The Natural Resource Management (NRM) Regions dataset has been prepared for the purpose of reporting on the Australian Government's Caring for our Country investments. The dataset is designed to cover all Australian territory where Caring for our Country projects might take place and includes major islands; external territories; state and coastal waters; in addition to the 56 NRM regions. This version of the data is an update and formalisation of the 'interim 2010' dataset (which was an interim update of the NRM Regions 2009 dataset- publicly released in Feb 09).

Whilst the boundaries of NRM Regions are defined by legislation in some states and territories this dataset should not be used to represent legal boundaries in any way. It is an administrative dataset developed for the purpose of reporting and public information. It should be noted that from time to time the states and/or territories may revise their regional boundaries in accordance with local needs and therefore alterations to either the attribution or boundaries of the data may occur in the future.

Caring for our Country commenced on 1 July 2008. It integrates delivery of the Australian Government's previous natural resource management programs, including the Natural Heritage Trust, the National Landcare Program, the Environmental Stewardship Program and the Working on Country Indigenous land and sea ranger program.CC - Attribution (CC BY)

Natural Resource Management (NRM) Region Boundaries (formerly known as Natural Heritage Trust II (NHT2) Region Boundaries)

To support implementation of the extension to the Natural Heritage Trust, ERIN has compiled and maintains a national spatial database of all NRM regional boundaries. These boundaries provide the delivery and reporting framework for the regional component of the NHT. There are 56 NRM regions across Australia where funding is delivered.

The data has been compiled from State and Territory supplied regional boundaries to form a national dataset with consistent attribution. For a consistent national dataset, the Geoscience Australia 1:100,000 Coastline and State borders dataset was used in conjunction with the internal NRM region boundaries provided by the States.

Please note, from time to time States/Territories revise their regional boundaries in accordance with local legislation. It is envisaged that the boundaries will not change dramatically from those agreed under the bilateral agreements between the States/Territory and the Commonwealth however minor alterations will occur. The dataset is regularly updated to reflect these changes.CC - Attribution (CC BY)

Natural Disaster Relief and Recovery Arrangements (NDRRA) - expenditure and claims - and Australian government disaster appeal payments

Data relating to payments made by the Commonwealth to states and territories through the NDRRA (formerly the Natural Disaster Relief Arrangements), as well as to state/territory disaster appeal funds. NDRRA data includes all payments through the NDRRA, including audited claims, general claims, Commownealth loans, prepayments and advance payments. This includes the state and territory expenditure amounts that resulted in the Commonwealth payments, as well as related data such as state and territory annual thresholds, interest rates and advance payments.

National Vegetation Information System (NVIS) Version 5.1 - Australia -  Uncertainty Layer (Spatial Mix)

Raster layer delineates the level of uncertainty depending on the data spatial mix (whether it contains mosaics or is Pure).
General Background: The National Vegetation Information System (NVIS) has been developed over the last 15 years from a variety of data sources. The commonwealth is reliant on states and territories to supply vegetation data, which is then collated into the NVIS. Because of varying levels of resources available to different regions, the data they are able to supply is of varying scale, age, origin and spatial mix. 
NVIS is widely used by various organisation including, researchers, NGO and governments, for a wide range of uses such as modelling, fire fuel loads and policy. To improve the interpretation of the NVIS dataset the Dept of the Environment & Energy has developed a suite of uncertainty layers and tools to facilitate the robust use of the NVIS.
Aim: to develop a raster Uncertainty layer that is intended to better describe the input datasets and assist in dynamic analyses of data quality and gaps in the NVIS extant theme dataset.
Output: raster files scaled 0-1 that can be used for uncertainty, including data age, origin, scale and spatial mix. The layers can be added together to form one uncertainty layer. Python script/tools will also be provided so individuals can develop their own uncertainty layers and to be as transparent as possible.
The Uncertainty layers comprise 5 rasters, 1 composite and 5 individual layers:
                 -      NVIS Uncertainty layer (composite of 4 below layers)
                 -      Age: age of the NVIS data
                 -      Origin: where the data came from
                 -      Spatial mix: if the data is a mosaic
                 -      Scale: scale that the data was mapped
Age, scale, origin and spatial mix Information is supplied by the states and territories as part of the NVIS resupply process.
This dataset represents a scale of uncertainty in relation to data spatial mix. Scale categories are below.

National Vegetation Information System (NVIS) Version 5.1 - Australia - Lookup table for Dataset Key Layers

This is a lookup table containing details about the input datasets, which were compiled into the main NVIS. Details include dataset title, scale and creation dates for the original attribute and spatial data. 

It is intended to accompany the NVIS spatial key layers, which contain the spatial footprints of the two main themes, viz:
- National Vegetation Information System (NVIS) Version 5.1 - Australia - Key Layer for Present (Extant) Native Vegetation Data
- National Vegetation Information System (NVIS) Version 5.1 - Australia - Key Layer for the Estimated Pre-1750 Native Vegetation Data

 Instructions: 
- Join DATA_SET_NUMBER in the table to DATA_SET_NUMBER in the respective spatial key layer, above. (Note that field names are all truncated to 10 characters in shapefiles and DBF tables derived from the main NVIS data - e.g. DATA_SET_NUMBER is truncated to DATA_SET_N.) 
- (Optionally) use the following layer files for attribute legends in ArcMap:
- nvis5_1_key_scales.lyr for MAP_PUBLICATION_SCALE 
- nvis5_1_key_att_sources.lyr for ATTRIBUTE_ORIGIN
- nvis5_1_key_spatial_sources.lyr for SPATIAL_ORIGINYou must give appropriate credit, provide a link to the license, and indicate if changes were made. You may do so in any reasonable manner, but not in any way that suggests the licensor endorses you or your use.
Feedback would be appreciated on the useability and accuracy of the dataset.
