Native Vegetation Extent (DPIRD-005)

A data set containing vegetation extent polygons from the mapping of remnant vegetation in Western Australia. 

Important Update

In June 2026 the area covered by the Native vegetation extent – parts of South West WA 2024 (DWER-146) was excised from the data. 

The Department of Water and Environmental Regulation (DWER) has published 2024 native vegetation extent mapping updates for Katanning, Merredin, Western Mallee and Swan Coastal Plain bioregions as defined in the Interim Biogeographic Regionalisation of Australia V 7.1 (Commonwealth of Australia, 2025) and for the Metropolitan and Peel Region Schemes.
Swan Coastal Plain and Perth-Peel native vegetation extent mapping was prepared for the years 2000, 2005, 2010, 2015, 2020 and 2024.

The DWER data products expanded and updated similar Swan Coastal Plain products published by the Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development (DPIRD) in 2021. As a result, DPIRD has retired the following products:  

•   Swan Coastal Plain Remnant Vegetation 2000 (DPIRD-089) 

•   Swan Coastal Plain Remnant Vegetation 2005 (DPIRD-090) 

•   Swan Coastal Plain Remnant Vegetation 2010 (DPIRD-091) 

•   Swan Coastal Plain Remnant Vegetation 2015 (DPIRD-092) 

•   Swan Coastal Plain Remnant Vegetation 2020 (DPIRD-093) 

The DWER native vegetation extent datasets for the Swan Coastal Plain, Metropolitan and Peel Region Scheme areas include:

•   Swan Coastal Plain and Perth-Peel Native Vegetation Extent 2000 (DWER -136) 

•   Swan Coastal Plain and Perth-Peel Native Vegetation Extent 2005 (DWER -137)  

•   Swan Coastal Plain and Perth-Peel Native Vegetation Extent 2010 (DWER -138)  

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

•   Swan Coastal Plain and Perth-Peel Native Vegetation Extent 2020 (DWER -140) 

•   Swan Coastal Plain and Perth-Peel Native Vegetation Extent 2024 (DWER -141)  

History

This was originally compiled as part of the vegetation theme of the National Land and Water Resource Audit (NLWRA). The data for the intensive land-use zone (ILZ) in south-western Australia was originally derived from 1995 LandSat TM satellite imagery and has been corrected using digital aerial photography (orthophotos) acquired 1996 to 2020. The extensive land-use zone (ELZ) is presumed to carry vegetation cover except for the major irrigated areas at Kununurra and Carnarvon. These have been removed from extent mapping for the ELZ. 

The dataset was progressively updated by the Department of Agriculture post-NLWRA with assistance the Department of Conservation and Land Management until 2020. 

A one-off update was carried out in May 2023. 

No further updates are planned.

Fair Jobs Code Registers

The Fair Jobs Code (code) recognises suppliers and businesses that comply with industrial relations and occupational health and safety laws, and promote the following Fair Jobs Code Standards:





Compliance with employment, industrial relations and workplace health &amp; safety obligations




Secure employment and job security.




Cooperative and constructive relationships between employers, employees and their representatives.




Workplace equity and diversity.




Supply chain compliance with employment, industrial relations and workplace health and safety.



The code applies to:





a supplier of goods, services or works, including construction works, tendering for: 
  a threshold procurement contract (contract valued at $1 million or more exclusive of GST),
  a high value procurement contract (contract valued at $20 million or more exclusive of GST),
  a significant subcontractor (where the head supplier has tendered for a threshold procurement contract and the subcontract is valued at $1 million or more exclusive of GST).




a business applying for a significant business expansion grant (grant valued at $500,000 or more exclusive of GST and where a key milestone of the grant agreement specifies that the business will increase or retain the number of employees engaged by the business). This includes competitive grants delivered through grant programs, direct allocation grants and negotiated grants.




all standing offer arrangements, including State Purchase Contracts, Sole Entity Purchase Contracts, and supplier panels and registers




all Victorian Government departments, agencies and public bodies (Agencies) that manage threshold procurement contracts, high value procurement contracts and significant business expansion grants.



Suppliers interested in tendering for Victorian Government threshold procurements and businesses seeking significant business expansion grants must hold a Fair Jobs Code pre-assessment certificate. 

A pre-assessment certificate demonstrates a supplier/business has a history of compliance with existing industrial relations and workplace health and safety laws, as specified under the code, making them eligible to be considered for a threshold procurement contract, high value procurement contract or significant business expansion grant.

The supplier or business must hold a valid pre-assessment certificate, for the life of the contract or grant period.

Waterway — Catchment — Sub-catchment areas

This dataset is available on Brisbane City Council’s open data website – data.brisbane.qld.gov.au. The site provides additional features for viewing and interacting with the data and for downloading the data in various formats.  

Waterway sub-catchments are smaller divisions within a larger waterway catchment area, which represents a more specific area of land that contributes to the flow of water within Brisbane City Council's waterways.

Like catchments, a sub-catchment is typically delineated based on the natural drainage patterns of the land, such as the flow of streams or rivers. It is defined by the topographic features and the boundaries of the land that drain into a specific tributary or section of the larger catchment.

Traffic Signal Volume Data

This dataset contains the traffic volume at Traffic Signal locations. It is aggregated into 15 minute time periods and the counts are assigned to each traffic loop detector (per lane) at each traffic signal site.

This information is sourced from the SCATS system where a detector is a loop of wire installed into the road surface and is activated when a vehicle passes over it and sends a pulse to the traffic signal.

NOTE

There are limitations with this dataset whereby a maximum of 24 Volume Detectors are available per site. Internal investigations are underway to explore how this could be addressed.

Late Quaternary palaeoceanography of the Circumpolar Deep Water from the South Tasman Rise

We use sediment cores from the South Tasman Rise (STR) to reconstruct deep- water circulation in the southwest Pacific sector of the Southern Ocean. Sediment cores MD972106 (45° 09′ S, 146° 17′ E, 3310 m water depth) and GC34 (45° 06′ S, 147° 45′ E, 4002 m water depth) preserve records covering the last 160 k yr, with chronology controlled by calibrated accelerator mass spectrometry radiocarbon dates and benthic foraminiferal δ18O tied to SPECMAP. The STR benthic foraminiferal δ13C records provide new δ13C values for Southern Ocean deep water spanning the last 160 k yr at sites unlikely to be affected by variations in productivity. The records establish that glacial benthic foraminifera (Cibicidoides spp.) δ13C values are lower relative to interglacial values and are comparable to previous glacial benthic δ13C records in the Indian and Pacific sectors of the Southern Ocean. Comparisons of the benthic foraminiferal δ13C time series at the STR are made with the equatorial Pacific (V19-30 and Site 846) and the equatorial Atlantic (GeoB1115). The similarity of benthic δ13C records at the STR to the equatorial Pacific suggest the Southern Ocean deep-water mass closely tracked those of the deep Pacific, and the presence of a δ13C gradient between the STR and the equatorial Atlantic suggests there was continual production of northern source deep water over the past 160 k yr.

Expanding aerial-roving surveys to include counts of shore-based recreational fishers from remotely operated cameras: benefits, limitations, and cost effectiveness.[

Information on shore‐based recreational fishing is essential for the sustainable management of nearshore fish stocks. However, obtaining estimates of catch and effort from such fishing activity can be complex and expensive due to the large spatial scales over which surveys are typically conducted and the fine‐scale temporal resolution that is desired. Complementary surveys are one option for improving the accuracy of estimates. A pilot study was conducted in Perth, Western Australia, from April to June 2010 to test an expanded aerial–roving survey design that incorporated remotely operated cameras. Cameras recorded the distribution of shore‐based fishing activity across a 24‐h day, highlighting an afternoon peak as well as some nighttime activity, which is rarely captured in existing survey designs. This information was combined with instantaneous counts of shore fishers from aerial surveys and trip length data that were obtained from 1,194 incomplete trip interviews conducted during roving creel surveys; the resulting estimate of fishing effort was 213,460 angler‐hours (SE = 18,141; relative SE [RSE] = 8%). Catch rates, which were calculated from roving creel survey data on the numbers of retained fish, were combined with fishing effort to estimate a total retained catch of 355,801 fish (SE = 41,446; RSE = 12%). The Australian herring Arripis georgianus was the dominant species, with a retained catch of 229,779 fish (SE = 39,007; RSE = 17%). In comparison with other on‐site techniques, the incorporation of cameras into an aerial–roving survey design provides a generic, cost‐effective method for measuring the distribution of shore‐based fishing activity across a 24‐h day. Our findings improve the understanding of the exploitation of nearshore fish stocks along the Perth coast. Our method has broad application to many other recreational fisheries around the world, especially where nighttime fishing is popular. Received June 28, 2012; accepted August 24, 2012

The rise and fall of the "marine heat wave" off Western Australia during the summer of 2010/2011.

Record high ocean temperatures were experienced along the Western Australian coast during the austral summer of 2010/2011. Satellite-derived sea surface temperature (SST) anomalies in February 2011 peaked at 3 °C above the long-term monthly means over a wide area from Ningaloo (22°S) to Cape Leeuwin (34°S) along the coast and out to >200 km offshore. Hourly temperature measurements at a number of mooring sites along the coast revealed that the temperature anomalies were mostly trapped in the surface mixed layer, with peak nearshore temperatures rising to ~5 °C above average in the central west coastal region over a week encompassing the end of February and early March, resulting in some devastating fish kills as well as temporary southward range extensions of tropical fish species and megafauna such as whale sharks and manta rays. The elevated temperatures were a result of a combination of a record strength Leeuwin Current, a near-record La Niña event, and anomalously high air–sea heat flux into the ocean even though the SST was high. This heat wave was an unprecedented thermal event in Western Australian waters, superimposed on an underlying long-term temperature rise.
