Swan Coastal Plain and Perth-Peel Native Vegetation Extent 2015 (DWER-139)

Remnant vegetation mapping for the Swan Coastal Plain bioregion, Metropolitan and Peel Region Scheme areas in 2015. Part of a suite of polygon datasets that best represent remnants of original pre-1750 vegetation across the mapped areas as at 2000, 2005, 2010, 2015, 2020 and 2024. The polygons represent interpreted areas of vegetation using current and historical digital aerial photography (1953-present) sourced from State Government repositories and other commercial products e.g. Digital globe, ESRI wayback imagery and Google. Simplified condition of the vegetation has been attributed to some polygons.

The mapped area covers the Metropolitan and Peel Region Schemes, the Swan Coastal Plain bioregion as defined in the Interim Biogeographic Regionalisation of Australia V 7.1 (Commonwealth of Australia, 2025) and the Swan Coastal Plain vegetation complexes (DBCA-046) (Department of Parks and Wildlife, 2016).

1:500 000 State Cenozoic geology (DMIRS-078)

The digital '1:500 000 State interpreted bedrock geology of Western Australia' is an update to the '1:500 000 State interpreted bedrock geology of Western Australia, 2016'. It comprises three layers: the primary 1:500 000 State interpreted bedrock geology, the 1:500 000 State Cenozoic geology and the 1:500 000 State linear structures layer. The 1:500 000 State interpreted bedrock geology layer includes revised stratigraphy in the West Musgrave Province, West Arunta Orogen, East Pilbara, Capricorn Orogen, Eastern Capricorn basins and Murchison project areas; a new stratigraphic framework for the East Yilgarn project area is also included. The 1:500 000 State Cenozoic geology layer has no current updates from the 2016 revision. Compilation is based on published 1:100 000 and 1:250 000 Geological Series maps of Western Australia, together with GSWA and GA (AGSO, BMR) regional geological maps at scales from 1:250 000 to 1:1 000 000. Information from these maps has been modified locally, using geophysical datasets (magnetics, radiometrics and gravity), remote sensing imagery (ASTER and LANDSAT), seismic and magnetotelluric profiles, drilling, and unpublished geological mapping. The Cenozoic layer overlies the pre-Cenozoic layer to depict Cenozoic paleovalleys and other areas of significant Cenozoic bedrock. The linear structures layer refers primarily to pre-Cenozoic structures and attribution of concealed structures refers to those that are older than the pre-Cenozoic unit in question.

Oil Mallee Belt Plantations Grid (DPIRD-101)

A gridded (20,000 ha grid squares) data showing density of Oil Mallee Belt Plantations in WA. 

A dataset was created representing oil mallee plantations in the state.  The data is an extract from the DPIRD land use areas of interest database.  The land use database contains block and belt planted mallee trees.  Only belt planting areas of interest have been extracted in this dataset. 

Belt planting regions were determined by digitising areas identified from orthophotography. 

In a small region of the state field verification work was carried out to help validate the mallee data. Field data was used to extrapolate interpretation of mallee areas beyond the field work area and to better identify belt regions of oil mallee.

The belt plantings were gridded using 14.1km by 14.1km or 200km2 sized grids representing 20,000ha.  The grids were attributed with “Total_Area” - the total area of mallee in the grid block and “Ground_Truthed” - if there was any ground truthing within the grid area.

Juvenile Period in Slow-Maturing Plants (2050 RCP 4.5) - SW of WA (DBCA-074)

By quantifying the length of time after fire for obligate-seeding plant species to become reproductively mature (the juvenile period), the risk of population decline under specific fire intervals can be delineated to inform local fire and conservation management. In this project, juvenile period data for serotinous obligate-seeder taxa across south-west Australia were collated from several studies. Linear models were then developed to estimate juvenile period based on measures of environmental productivity. These models were then spatially projected to the classic and drier Mediterranean agro-climatic class areas (Hutchinson et al. 2005) within south-west Australia.
JP - 2050 RCP 4.5 – Juvenile period as years until 50% of individuals in the population have 
flowered under future conditions (30-year period centred on 2050) with the RCP 4.5 emissions 
scenario based on a model featuring annual precipitation. (Fig 5 b)

Tectonic units 1:10 000 000 (DMIRS-084)

The digital '1:10 000 000 tectonic units of Western Australia' has been compiled by rolling up and simplifying from the digital '1:500 000 tectonic units of Western Australia, 2015' for optimal display at 1:10 000 000 scale. For the offshore component, the map uses data and divisions from the Geoscience Australia ‘Australian Geological Provinces’ GIS dataset, with polygons adjusted to match seamlessly into the onshore tectonic elements. The nomenclature and hierarchy for the tectonic units are based on weekly updates from the GSWA Explanatory Notes System (ENS). In order to provide the most up-todate geological information for the units in question, attribution from the original source is modified to remove superseded units, display correct tectonic relationships and include more recent geochronology. This digital layer is designed to outline
tectonic units at the highest levels within the tectonic hierarchy; that is, to delineate the areal extent of cratons, orogens, and basins.

Land Monitor Salinity Extent 1990 (DPIRD-097)

Vectorized version of the Land Monitor Salinity Extent – South West of Western Australia 1990 dataset.

Salinity mapped in raster format with 25-m pixels. The Land Monitor salinity mapping process uses satellite imagery, high-resolution topographic data, ground information and ancillary GIS data sets to map areas of severely salt-affected land identified in consecutive satellite (Landsat TM) scenes (Furby et al 2010). To update the 1990 and 1998 estimates, the spatial-temporal methodology was re-applied using the same approach but took advantage of the latest data and improved computational resources (Caccetta et al 2022). Any changes in the extent of salt affected land detected by Land Monitor in the updated salinity mapping are most likely within the severe salinity class and may represent either expansions of this class of salinity or improvements in the condition of severely salt affected land or in the reduction of commission errors (compared to the original mapping).

This data has converted the salt effected areas to a vector geodatabase. Additional post processing to remove urban areas has been applied.

Interpreted bedrock geology 1:100 000 (DMIRS-038)

The digital ‘1:100 000 State interpreted bedrock geology of Western Australia’ comprises three layers: the primary 1:100 000 State interpreted bedrock geology, the 1:100 000 State interpreted bedrock geology lines , and the 1:100 000 State linear structure layer. The product covers approximately 30% of Western Australia, with a focus on areas of exposed Archean and Proterozoic bedrock. The linear structure layer refers primarily to pre-Cenozoic bedrock structures. This compilation is based on Geological Survey of Western Australia’s (GSWA) published Geological Information Series (GIS) and Geological Exploration Packages (GEP) for which digital 1:100 000 and 1:250 000 interpreted bedrock geology is available. The data packages included are: Kimberley 2017, Tanami–Arunta 2016, West Musgrave 2017, East Albany–Fraser Orogen 2014 (1:250 000 pre-Mesozoic), West Capricorn 2016, East Yilgarn 2017, South Yilgarn 2016, Murchison 2017, and Pilbara 2014. Geological interpretation in these packages is based on extensive fieldwork and interpretation of geophysical datasets (magnetics, radiometrics and gravity), remote sensing imagery (ASTER and LANDSAT), seismic and magnetotelluric profiles, drilling, and previously published and unpublished geological mapping. With the exception of minor topological corrections, the spatial integrity of the source packages is maintained. For adjacent but separately compiled packages, seamless interpretation along the edges of project areas has not been executed in order to preserve the spatial integrity of the source information. The nomenclature and hierarchy for the lithostratigraphic units in the polygon and line layers are based on weekly updates from the Explanatory Notes System (ENS). In order to provide the most up-to-date geological information for the units in question, attribution from the original source is modified to remove superseded stratigraphic units, display correct stratigraphic relationships, and include more recent geochronology. The source package of each feature is captured as an additional attribute field. Individual packages are available via the Department of Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety’s (DMIRS) eBookshop.

Heritage Council WA - Assessment Program (DPLH-007)

When a place is on the Heritage Council’s Assessment Program, it means that the Heritage Council has an interest in the place and it will be assessed and considered for inclusion on the State Register of Heritage Places. Regulations require decision-makers to notify the Council of any proposals that may affect a place under consideration for registration.

The State Register of Heritage Places recognises a place's value and importance to Western Australia. It includes buildings, structures, gardens, cemeteries, landscapes and archaeological sites and has more than 1,300 places listed in it. The State Register is managed by the Heritage Council and provides a place with statutory protection to ensure that any proposed demolition, relocation, subdivision, amalgamation, alteration, addition or new development is in harmony with its cultural heritage values. The State Register continues to expand, as significant places yet to be registered are progressively assessed by the Council.
