Urban Development Program - Major Residential Redevelopments Sites 2021

The Urban Development Program (UDP) monitors and reports on major residential redevelopment projects across metropolitan Melbourne. Major redevelopment projects are those comprising ten or more dwellings. Data is collected from commercial data sources and through analysis of aerial imagery, and is verified through consultations with local council representatives.
These include projects which may have an existing planning permit, or are in the planning processes, those that are current under construction, as well as potential longer term projects on sites that local councils have identified for residential purposes.
A timing classification is attributed to each project based on commercial data sources, consultation with local councils, and the stage the project has reached in the planning process. The Urban Development Program reports on major redevelopment projects using the following categories:
¿	Completed (a project was completed from Jan 2017 to Jan 2019)
¿	Under Construction (a project was under construction at Jan 2019)
¿	Firm (Recent planning approval, project with pre-sales)
¿	Likely (In planning assessment, planning permit extension may be required to develop)
¿	Possible (Long term redevelopment site, permit lapsed ).

While the UDP acknowledges a proportion of proposed projects may be abandoned or delayed, the classification process provides an indicator of available supply provided there is sufficient demand. In addition, it is acknowledged there are also sites within the established parts of Melbourne that may be suitable for residential development into the future but have not yet been identified. The UDP will continue to report on these sites as they are identified for redevelopment for residential purposes.
It should also be noted that the timings attached to these projects are indicative. Construction rates can be cyclical in nature, and highly dependent on underlying demand and pre-sales, economic cycles and industry capacity. This can mean that stated development intentions will vary from on the-ground construction activity over time and by location.

Basins (1:500,000), Geological Interpretation of Geophysical Features Polygon

This dataset contains interpreted geological data, both units underlying the basins and magnetic (mostly volcanic) units enclosed by the basin sediments. The linear features in the data set are geological boundaries, major faults, lesser faults and dykes.

The onshore magnetic, radiometric, topographic and gravity data have been collected by the Geological Survey of Victoria. This has been supplemented by offshore magnetic and bathymetric data collected by the Australian Geological Survey Organisation and deep seismic data collected by the Australian Geological Survey Organisation and company sources.

The map attempts to reconcile the onshore geology interpreted in Simons & Moore (1999) with the geophysical responses in a way that is geologically reasonable, and to carry this interpretation offshore at least as far as the Tasmanian sea boundary (generally 39 degrees 12 minutes South). The legend broadly uses the same time breaks as that of the Pre-Permian geological map, but includes younger packages that lie beneath the basin. No attempt has been made to subdivide granitic rocks of a particular age.

The dataset is accompanied by other datasets representing lava flows and the basin edges. Lava flows have been interpreted either from intersections in drill holes or from magnetic responses.

Victorian Land Use Information System 2012/2013

The Victorian Land Use Information System (VLUIS) dataset has been created by the Spatial Information Sciences Group of the Agriculture Research Division in the Department of Economic Development, Jobs, Transport, and Resources. The method used to create VLUIS is significantly different to traditional methods used to create land use information and has been designed to create regular and consistent data over time. It covers the entire landmass of Victoria and separately describes the land tenure, land use and land cover for each cadastral parcel across the state, biennially for land tenure and use and annually for land cover; for each year from 2006 to 2015. The data is in the form of a feature class. 

To use the VLUIS data correctly it is important to understand the difference between the three components of VLUIS. The Guidelines for land use mapping in Australia: principles, procedures and definitions, Edition 3 published in 2006 by the Commonwealth of Australia, defines them as follows: 
Land tenure is the ownership and leasehold interests in land (VLUIS only reports ownership). Land use means the purpose to which the land cover is committed or the property type. Land cover refers to the physical surface of the earth, including various combinations of vegetation types, soils, exposed rocks and water bodies as well as anthropogenic elements, such as agriculture and built environments. 
The Victorian Land Use Information System (VLUIS) is an ongoing project designed to maintain and manage the Victorian land use mapping dataset.

The methodology is still being refined and as such the dataset is subject to improvements and the release of later versions. It is important you speak to the custodian to be advised of the technical details of the dataset and its utility for your desired use. 

Irrigation activity is included when available. The data was not available in 2006-07 and there was incomplete coverage in 2012-13 and therefore the irrigation activity was not included in either of those datasets.

Land cover classification accuracy varies between classes and the overall classification accuracy may be misleading in terms of the accuracy of an individual class. Users are asked to contact the data custodians for detailed class accuracy information if required for their purposes.

The dataset does not replace LandUse100 which is still valid for the time in which it was created (1996 - 2005).

Aquifer Salinity - Bedrock

This dataset contains groundwater salinity information for boreholes which had penetrated at least 5m into bedrock. The bores have been extracted predominantly from the Groundwater Management System (GMS) and the State Observation Bore Network (SOBN) databases. It should be noted that the analysis undertaken with the salinity data was only of a preliminary nature and should be treated with a critical approach. Local validation of the data (e.g. screen depths) needs to be undertaken in detail.
 
The dataset was compiled by GHD to inform the report 'Potential Influences of Geological Structures on Groundwater Flow Systems' for DEPI's Secure Allocation Future Entitlements (SAFE) Project.

Fire History showing the number of times areas have been burnt, based on mapped fire history (scars)

This layer represents the number of times an area has been burnt, based on mapped fire history. This dataset is based on the BLD_FIRE_SCAR dataset, and provides number of (and years of) planned burns and fires (both separated out and combined), plus years since a location has been burnt.This shows both public and private land

 The layer includes bushfires and DELWP planned burn information. This dataset only shows the fire scars (boundaries) - to allow a simplified view of fire frequency.
CFA data on fires occurring on private land has also been included since 2009.

This data set was updated in August 2023 and includes fire season 22/23
