Index of Estuarine Condition Estuarine Fringing Vegetation

IEC2021_ FRINGING _VEG is the spatial representation of fringing vegetation used in the calculation of Index of Estuarine Condition (IEC) scores. In the context of the IEC, 'fringing vegetation' refers to the vegetation which grows above the permanently inundated portion of the estuary but within the zone of influence of the more-or-less saline estuarine waters. It includes vegetation in intertidal areas and riparian areas in the estuary but not subtidal vegetation (see Sinclair and Kohout 2018 for more precise working definitions of vegetation zones). In the field, the extent of the fringing vegetation and any built structures that impinge on it were mapped (by annotating an aerial photograph). Fringing vegetation was mapped according to Ecological Vegetation Classes (EVC) (https://www.environment.vic.gov.au/biodiversity/bioregions-and-evc-benchmarks) and subjectively classified into areas of different condition with reference to vegetation structure, weediness and land use. Each patch of vegetation that could be accessed was scored for its degree of invasion by perennial weeds and its structural resemblance to a relevant benchmark (https://www.environment.vic.gov.au/biodiversity/bioregions-and-evc-benchmarks). Additional observations were recorded on the score sheet, relating to <code>Health of the dominant plant species¿ and</code>Extent of engineered hydrological modifications¿. Scores were estimated for the areas that could not be observed. These estimated scores were based on the areas that were observed. The areas of all relevant polygons were calculated, and a score produced for each metric (IEC Report 2021).

ACNC Registered Charities

###_NOTE: This dataset is updated weekly. Please ensure that you use the most up-to-date version._###

The Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission (ACNC) is the national regulator of charities in Australia. 

Since 3 December 2012, charities wanting to access Commonwealth charity tax concessions (and other benefits), need to register with the ACNC. Although many charities choose to register, registration with the ACNC is voluntary. 

The ACNC maintains a register (known as the Charity Register), which contains information about charities. This dataset is a subset of the information available on the Charity Register.

Additional information for each charity (including governing documents and names of any Responsible Persons) can be found by searching the Charity Register at [acnc.gov.au/charity](https://www.acnc.gov.au/charity).

In some situations, charities can apply to have some or all of their information withheld from the Charity Register.  If the ACNC has approved for the information to be withheld, it won’t appear on the Charity Register, or in this dataset. 

Each year, charities also lodge Annual Information Statements with the ACNC. These record further information about charities’ purposes, activities and operations for the year - the ACNC publishes datasets for each Annual Information Statement. 

PLEASE NOTE: It is possible that some information in this dataset might be subject to a future request by the charity to have their information withheld, but will still appear in the dataset until the next update. Please consider this risk when using this dataset. 

Please use the attached explanatory notes to help with analysis of this dataset.

ACNC 2024 Annual Information Statement (AIS) Data

This dataset is updated weekly. Please ensure that you use the most up-to-date version.

###Background###
The Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission (ACNC) is Australia’s national regulator of charities. Since 3 December 2012, charities wanting to access Commonwealth charity tax concessions (and other benefits) need to register with the ACNC. Although many charities choose to register, registration with the ACNC is voluntary.

Each year, registered charities are required to lodge an Annual Information Statement (AIS) with the ACNC. Charities are required to submit their AIS within six months of the end of their reporting period.

The AIS collects information about a charity’s programs, HR and financial information.

###AIS data###
This dataset can be used to find 2024 AIS information lodged by multiple charities.

It can also be used to filter and sort by different variables across all AIS information. AIS Information for individual charities can be viewed via the ACNC Charity Register.

Our explanatory notes (see below) detail the information collected in the AIS and the data outputs you can expect.

The ACNC has also published a report analysing 2024 AIS data. This report - the 12th edition of the Charities Report - can be found on our website.

###Interpreting AIS data###
When comparing charities’ financial information it is important to consider each charity's unique situation. This is particularly true for small charities, which are not compelled to provide financial reports – reports that often contain more details about their financial position and activities – as part of their AIS. For more information on interpreting financial information, please refer to the ACNC website.

###Withheld information###
Registered charities can apply to the ACNC to have some or all of the information they provide withheld from the ACNC Register. However, there are only limited circumstances when the ACNC can agree to withhold information. If a charity has applied to have their data withheld, the AIS data relating to that charity has been excluded from this dataset.

NOTE: It is possible that some information in this dataset might be subject to a future request from a charity to have their information withheld. If this occurs, this information will still appear in the dataset until the next update. Please consider this risk when using this dataset.

###More ACNC data###

Victorian Bushfires Severity Map 2009 (Polygons)

The vector dataset is based on the filtered version (3x3 pixel filter) of the class fire severity classification raster product as derived from a classification of a SPOT and Landsat TM woodlands fire severity indexes to map the fire severity of the February 2009 Victorian bush fires using ground control and air photograph analysis provided by DSE to Ecowise for validation. The noise filtered classification is the final product derived using SPOT 4/5 satellite imagery with Landsat 5 imagery used on small areas where cloud or where SPOT imagery coverage was unavailable. . The five of the eight classes have been labeled based on severity classes provided with the ground survey data. The remaining classes account for vegetation structures with no specific burn severity assigned. The area covered by the classification is approximately 460 by 300 km and is clipped to the extents of the fire effected lands (approximately 400 000 hectares).

Port Fairy Seawall in Place Hazard Lines

The Port Fairy Local Coastal Hazard Assessment (LCHA) provides information on the extent of coastal hazards and their physical impacts for the Port Fairy coastal environment.

This data considers setback of the present day shoreline due to coastal erosion if existing seawall (where present) remains in place. The four key components of coastal setback that are incorporated into this hazard line are: 
- S1, allowance for short term storm erosion (storm demand 100 year ARI); 
- S2, allowance for dune stability (zone of reduced foundation capacity); 
- S3, allowance for ongoing underlying recession; and, 
- S4, allowance for recession due to future sea level rise. 

The total design setback (S) for three planning horizons comprises:
- Present day: S = S1 + S2;
- 2050: S = S1 + S2 + S3(2050) + S4(2050);
- 2080: S = S1 + S2 + S3(2080) + S4(2080); and
- 2100: S = S1 + S2 + S3(2100) + S4(2100).

Sea level rise projections utilised for the planning horizons were 0.4 m for 2050, 0.8 m for 2080 and 1.2 m for 2100 respectively. Where appropriate, the +6 m AHD contour was used as a reference as it was considered to represent the coastal alignment reasonably. The crest of the rock revetment was used as the reference contour on the southern half of East Beach. For low-lying dune systems the +2 m AHD contour was used.

Details of the assumptions made in the derivation of this information can be found in project reports on the Our Coast website: http://www.ourcoast.org.au/cb_pages/resources.php.
