Vicmap Lite - Public Land Classification Polygon - 1:250,000 to 1:2,000,000

This layer is part of Vicmap Lite and contains polygon features delineating public land areas. This Vicmap Lite dataset is suited for use between scales of 1: 250,000 and 1 : 2 million. The polygons were sourced from PLMMT100PLY. The level of attribute information, the number of features and the number of vertices has been simplified to suit the 1: 250,000 - 1 : 2 million scale range. The concept of a Scale Use Code has been introduced to help control the level of detail displayed.

THIS DATASET WAS LAST UPDATED IN AUGUST 2008

DEA Water Observations Statistics (Landsat) Version 2.0.0

These are the statistics generated from the DEA Water Observations (Water Observations from Space) suite of products, which gives summaries of how often surface water was observed by the Landsat satellites for various periods (per year, per season and for the period from 1986 to 2025).

The spatial extent is all Australia and the spatial resolution is 30 m x 30 m.

DEA Water Observations Statistics is available in multiple forms, depending on the length of time over which the statistics are calculated. At present the following are available:
<strong>- DEA WO Multi-Year:</strong>&nbsp;ga_ls_wo_fq_myear_3: statistics calculated from the full depth of time series (1986 to 2025) unfiltered, version 2.1.0
<strong>- DEA WO Calendar Year:</strong>&nbsp;ga_ls_wo_fq_cyear_3: statistics calculated from each calendar year (1986 to 2025), version 2.0.0
<strong>- DEA WO November to March:</strong>&nbsp;ga_ls_wo_fq_nov_mar_3: statistics calculated yearly from November to March (1986 to March 2025), version 2.0.0
<strong>- DEA WO April to October:</strong>&nbsp;ga_ls_wo_fq_apr_oct_3: statistics calculated yearly from April to October (1986 to October 2025), version 2.0.0

Each dataset in this product contains the following information:
- Clear Count: how many times an area could be clearly seen (i.e. not affected by clouds, shadows or other satellite observation problems)
- Wet Count: how many times water was detected in observations that were clear
- Water Summary: what percentage of clear observations were detected as wet (i.e. the ratio of wet to clear as a percentage)

As no confidence filtering is applied to this product, it is affected by noise where misclassifications have occurred in the input water classifications, and can be difficult to interpret on its own. The confidence layer and filtered summary are contained in the Water Observations Filtered Statistics product, which provides a noise-reduced view of the all-of-time water summary.

Band names:
- <strong>count_wet: </strong>how many times water was detected in observations that were clear.
- <strong>count_clear: </strong> how many times an area could be clearly seen.
- <strong>frequency: </strong>what ratio of clear observations were detected as wet (represented as a number between 0 and 1 corresponding to 0 to 100% of observations)

000VIC Emergency Markers

Emergency markers look like a street sign, have three letters and three numbers and have a green background and white text. Emergency markers are spaced at regular intervals within metropolitan Melbourne. Emergency markers enable the exact location of a Triple Zero Victoria (000) caller to be accurately identified. Markers are more than just signs. They are supported by GPS co- ordinates and within EST linked to an internal dataset of directional instructions enabling EST operators to provide directional information to police, fire, ambulance and VICSES advising of obstructions such as locked gates, road closures and quickest access points.

ESG mapping of the Australian mining sector. The state of play on mobilising spatial datasets for decision making

The global energy transition will drive increased demand for a broad range of mined minerals. Australia is well positioned to support the global energy transition, given its mature mining sector and rich and diverse mineral resources. The potential growth in the mining sector represents an economic opportunity, however, navigating the associated environmental, social, and governance (ESG) risks remains a challenge. A step towards improved ESG credentials across the Australian mining sector is for mine developers, regulators, communities, investors and other industry stakeholders to be capable of integrating diverse types of ESG data into decision-making processes. This paper establishes the foundations for applying ESG mapping, a research technique that mobilises spatial data to analyse and compare extractive locations in terms of factors relevant to mining and exploration, at the scale of Australia. To do so, the paper first critically reviews 33 spatial ESG datasets available at national scale across six main themes: people, land uses, water resources, extreme events, nature conservation, and governance. The paper then provides two proof-of-concept applications of ESG mapping to the Australian mining context and draws on these preliminary applications to propose a program of research aiming to fully utilise this technique to inform decision makers.

Wellington Park Management Zones

Wellington Park is divided into different management zones, as defined within the Wellington Park Management Plan 2013 (amended 2015). The different management zones take account of, and are intended to protect, the environmental, cultural, tourism, recreation, and water catchment values of the Park. Detailed descriptions of each management zone can be found within the Wellington Park Management Plan, which can be downloaded from the Wellington Park Management Trust website.

Geoscience Australia Landsat Landcover Collection 3 Version 2.0.0

Land cover is the observed physical cover on the Earth’s surface including trees, shrubs, grasses, soils, exposed rocks, water bodies, plantations, crops and built structures. A consistent, Australia-wide land cover product helps understanding of how the different parts of the environment change and inter-relate. Earth observation data recorded over a period of time firstly allows the observation of the state of land cover at a specific time and secondly the way that land cover changes by comparison between times. For more information please visit https://knowledge.dea.ga.gov.au/data/product/dea-land-cover-landsat.

The Land Cover product was made possible through a collaboration between Geoscience Australia, The University of New South Wales and Aberystwyth University.
