Victorian Coastal Digital Elevation Model 2021 (VCDEM) - 10m

The Victorian Coastal Digital Elevation Model 2021 (VCDEM) incorporates several new datasets to previous versions of the dataset created in 2017 and 2010, integrating new bathymetric datasets to the VCDEM product. The VCDEM dataset is foundational to the Victorian Coastal Mapping Program (VCMP) and updates to the VCDEM will improve the understanding of dynamic coastal processes and their associated risks advanced by the VCMP.

The VCDEM2021 produced by Veris is comprised of two major outputs:
1.	HIGH RESOLUTION VCDEM2021
Contains gridded data sources with a gridded spatial resolution (pixel size) equal or superior to 10m in addition to vertical uncertainty meeting IHO Order 1b specifications (ie better than 0.5m). The high resolution VCDEM2021 will necessarily contain gaps where data does not meet these conditions.
2.	SEAMLESS VCDEM2021
Contains gridded data sources with a gridded spatial resolution (pixel size) equal or superior to 10m in addition to vertical uncertainty meeting IHO Order 1b specifications (ie better than 0.5m). Low resolution bathymetric data is used in areas with no high resolution bathymetric coverage and algorithms are used to merge bathymetric to a seamless product.

Distracted driver and seatbelt detection camera locations

Distracted driver and seatbelt detection cameras target drivers who use portable devices such as a mobile phones while driving. They also can pick up drivers and front seat passengers not wearing their seatbelt.

Illegally using a mobile phone when driving significantly increases the risk of being involved in a serious crash.

In Victoria, widespread roll-out of automated mobile phone enforcement is predicted to prevent 95 casualty crashes per year.

Victorian Government School Zones 2027

All designated neighbourhood government schools (referred to as a local school) have a school zone. This does not include schools with specific enrolment criteria including English language schools, selective entry high schools, or community schools. Specialist schools also do not have school zones and have special enrolment criteria.

Every Victorian child has the legislated right to enrol at their local government school. A school zone does not restrict a student's  choice to seek enrolment at other government schools. Students can enrol at a school outside their zone if the school has sufficient accommodation and it aligns with the school’s enrolment management implementation plan, where applicable.

For students residing in metropolitan Melbourne, Ballarat, Bendigo or Geelong, the local school is usually the nearest government school in a straight line from the student’s permanent residential address. In any other area of Victoria, it is usually the nearest school by the shortest practical route, recognising the additional travel distances often experienced in regional settings.

It is recognised that some school zones need to be aligned with geographical and structural barriers that significantly impede direct school access such as rivers and freeways. A main road with pedestrian crossings, however, is not usually considered to be a barrier to accessing a school.

School zones are reviewed annually and may be adjusted to reflect new schools opening, changing provision at existing schools (e.g., relocating a campus or changing year levels offered), improving school accessibility, or managing enrolment demand.

The school zones ZIP file consists of distinct spatial datasets for primary school zones and school zones for each year of secondary school, acknowledging the different year levels offered by schools. The spatial datasets can be used in conjunction with the school locations CSV file also available on data.vic.gov.au. School zones have been published on the findmyschool.vic.gov.au website. More information on Victorian school zones can found at https://www.vic.gov.au/school-zones.

School zones have been produced in GDA94 VicGrid projection (EPSG: 3111) using locations that represent the front of the school or driveway access. The location point for all government schools is taken from the department’s register of school locations. Voronoi polygons define the measure of straight-line distance and road classes 0 to 7 in the VicMap Roads dataset have been used to define the measure of shortest practical route. 

The Victorian government school zones are intended to be relied on by parents and families for the purposes of making enrolment decisions for their children. They should not be relied on for making property purchase decisions, or by any party other than parents and families seeking to enrol their child in a government school.

Road Safety Camera Network - Fixed Camera Locations

All Victorian fixed digital road safety cameras are tested annually by an independent testing officer in accordance with the Road Safety (General) Regulations 2019.

Once successfully tested, a certificate of compliance (referred to here as a ‘test certificate’) is issued for each camera, confirming it adheres to the Regulations and is operating correctly.

Under the Road Safety Act 1986, photos and data from certified cameras can be used as evidence in court.

Crime Statistics Agency - Aboriginal Justice Indicators dashboard

The [Aboriginal Justice Indicators (AJI) dashboard](https://www.crimestatistics.vic.gov.au/crime-statistics/latest-aboriginal-crime-data/aboriginal-justice-indicators-dashboard) is produced by the Crime Statistics Agency (CSA) to provide publicly accessible data and statistics on Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander people and their contact with Victoria Police. The dashboard is released bi-annually.

The 2024-25 dashboard includes data on:

* Family violence
* Victims of crime
* Family violence
* Victims of crime
* Alleged offending
* Women and girls
* Children
* Pathways through the justice system.

Note that:

* In this dashboard, the term 'Aboriginal' is used to describe people who are Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander. The CSA uses a ['most frequent' counting rule](https://www.crimestatistics.vic.gov.au/about-the-data/explanatory-notes) to provide robust statistics on Aboriginal status.
* In some instances the dashboard uses slightly different counting rules compared to other CSA outputs. The data may not be directly comparable across other outputs.

For more information, please see the explanatory notes within the dashboard or [contact the Crime Statistics Agency](https://www.crimestatistics.vic.gov.au/about-us/contact-us).

Crime Statistics Agency Data Tables - Harm Caused

The Harm caused by crime measure reorganises the person based victim reports by principal offence type into an alternate view that is categorised by a high, medium of low harm classification. Not all offence types included in the CSA offence classification are included in the Harm caused by crime measure. The harm caused measure is designed to allow the user to explore offence types and the different harm classifications at the state and local government area levels. 

Please note that movements in recorded crime data may be impacted by changes in legislation and operational police practice.

From March 2020 to December 2021 Victoria responded to the global COVID-19 pandemic through a range of health responses that included periods of restrictions on people’s movements and daily activities. The health response was supported by the use of offences codes relating to breaches of Chief Health Officer (CHO) Directions the Public Health and Wellbeing Act 2008. The restrictions on movement and introduction of breaches of CHO directions had a flow on effect for Victorian recorded crime, and this differed by crime type.

SRL Planning Area Declaration Boundary

The Suburban Rail Loop (SRL) planning area declaration was published in the Victoria Government Gazette on 7 December 2023 and takes effect on and from 8 December 2023.

As gazetted, the declaration makes the Suburban Rail Loop Authority a planning authority under the Planning and Environment Act 1987 for any land to which a SRL planning area declaration applies and has effect. This means that the Suburban Rail Loop Authority may prepare planning scheme amendments within the declared SRL planning areas.

Councils remain a planning authority for their entire municipality.
