Vicmap Planning is the map data representing the land use zone and overlay controls for all Victorian planning schemes. Planning schemes cover the 79 local government areas and three other areas in Victoria. Planning schemes are regularly amended, and Vicmap Planning is continually updated to reflect the official planning scheme at any time.

Datasets in the series are listed below. See them for more detailed metadata. - Planning scheme zones - Vicmap Planning (VMPLAN_PLAN_ZONE); - Planning scheme overlay - Vicmap Planning (VMPLAN_PLAN_OVERLAY); - Planning scheme Urban Growth Boundary - Vicmap Planning (VMPLAN_PLAN_UGB); - Planning scheme Urban Growth Area - Vicmap Planning (VMPLAN_PLAN_UGA); - Planning scheme codelist - Vicmap Planning (VMPLAN_PLAN_CODELIST) Current data model is Version 3.0.1

VicPlan allows you to find a property or parcel, generate a planning property report, and view zones and overlays anywhere in Victoria.\r \r VicPlan is a state wide map viewer for location based planning scheme information. You can use it to locate any property or parcel in Victoria using the address/parcel search, or by browsing on the map. You can also access direct links to the planning rules for a site in the planning scheme.\r \r From VicPlan you can create a Planning property or parcel report with localised maps showing the zone and overlays. You can also access VicPlan via the maps in planning schemes.\r \r Zone and overlay spatial data is updated weekly.\r

This dataset contains polygon features representing land use zones (such as residential, industrial or rural) for all Victorian planning schemes. This layer is attributed with: scheme code, zone number, zone status, zone code, LGA name, LGA code.

THIS IS A GEOREFERENCED FILE. A true copy of a map of Victoria and Esquimalt. Some of the land in Esquimalt, Victoria, and around James Bay and Victoria Harbour has been divided into a street grid with most street names present along with Songish Village.

Zoning data are updated by the Planning department as needed, and copied to the Open Data Portal daily. Zoning data are maintained in AutoCAD and then transferred to GIS for VicMap and the Open Data Portal. The labels for the zoning data are placed specifically in AutoCAD, so we export them as a separate layer in order to keep that fine placement. The Zoning Boundary data includes these labels as attributes as well, they just won't be quite as well-aligned as these. For Zoning Boundary (polygon) data, see also: Zoning Boundary data.The "Last Updated" date shown on our Open Data Portal refers to the last time the data schema was modified in the portal, or any changes were made to this description. We update our data through automated scripts which does not trigger the "last updated" date to change.Note: Attributes represent each field in a dataset, and some fields will contain information such as ID numbers. As a result some visualizations on the tabs on our Open Data page will not be relevant.

Sub dataset of VicMap planning.

Significant changes to the structure of Statutory Planning in Victoria were implemented with the approval of the Planning & Environment Act 1987 (Government Gazette, 16 February 1988).

Following proclamation of the Act all planning controls (Planning Schemes/Interim Development Orders) made under the provisions of the Town and Country Planning Act were revoked and replaced by municipality-based planning schemes, planning schemes applying to the whole of a municipality and part of Port Phillip Bay and regional planning schemes.

Country Victoria:
Planning Schemes and Interim Development Orders in operation within a municipality were consolidated into a single planning scheme under the title of the particular local government area.

Metropolitan Region:
The Melbourne Metropolitan Planning Scheme (Refer to Melbourne Metropolitan Board of Works, VA 1007) was replaced by individual municipality-based planning schemes.

The term "Day One" summarizes the structural changes introduced by the Planning and Environment Act 1987 on 16 February 1988. For a detailed summary of the functions undertaken by the Act refer to the administrative history of the Department of Planning (VA 599).

The term "Day Two" summarizes the structural and content changes to all Victorian planning schemes at the gazettal of amendments on the 30 October 1989. The amendments introduced subdivision provisions in the State, Regional and Local Sections of all planning schemes and restructured and re-wrote planning schemes in the Metropolitan Region in accordance with plain English principles.

Relevant Country Victoria and Metropolitan Region Planning Scheme maps are located in VPRS 16155.

Amalgamation Amendments:
Following the review and restructure of local government in Victoria and the subsequent reduction in the number of local government areas (1994-1995), some newly created councils prepared Amalgamation Amendments in order to consolidate all planning schemes within their restructured municipal boundaries. Former planning schemes were re-titled as chapters of an amalgamated planning scheme. Alternatively, councils became the responsible authority for the operation of existing planning schemes within a restructured local government area.

Reference may be made to "New Patterns in Local Government. A guide to Victoria's new councils" published by the Office of Local Government, September 1995. (Available at PROV's Reading Room at North Melbourne).

Refer to VPRS 16155 Amalgamation Amendments/Maps.
Refer to VPRS 16204 (this series) Amalgamation Amendments/Ordinances.
Refer to VPRS 16223 New Format Planning Scheme Ordinances based on the Victoria Planning Provisions and VPRS 16203 New Format Planning Scheme Maps based on the Victoria Planning Provisions.

For planning controls in operation prior to 16 February 1988 (Day One) refer to the following series:
-VPRS 16121 Planning Scheme Record Cards
-VPRS 16131 Country Victoria Planning Scheme Maps, I.D.O's and Amendments (1946 - 1988)
-VPRS 16156 Country Victoria and Metropolitan Region Planning Scheme Ordinances, I.D.O's and Amendments (1946 - 1988)
-VPRS 16158 Melbourne Metropolitan Planning Scheme Ordinance, Consolidated Reprints, Amendments, Interim Development Orders (1954 - 1988)
-VPRS 16157 Melbourne Metropolitan Planning Scheme Maps, Interim Development Orders, Modifications and Amendments (1954 - 1988).

Planning Schemes consist of both maps and ordinance. Planning Scheme maps show the zones and overlays that apply to land covered by the scheme, and the written information or ordinance sets out the statutory planning requirements of the policies, zones and overlays described on a Planning Scheme Map.

The Victorian Coastal Inundation Dataset (the product) is a digital dataset consisting of eight spatial layers modelling the extent of land subject to coastal inundation due to projected sea level rise from 2009 to 2100. This product is recommended for use at a scale of approximately 1:75,000 or less detail to reflect the limitations in the modelling and the recommended catchment to regional scale of inundation assessments with this product. The product is NOT suitable for assessments of potential risks at property level.

The datasets available are: Sea Level Rise: - SLR00CM_2009 - Current (2009) sea level - SLR20CM_2040 - Projected 20cm sea level rise by 2040 - SLR47CM_2070 - Projected 47cm sea level rise by 2070 - SLR82CM_2100 - Projected 82cm sea level rise by 2100

Storm tide (1-in-100 year) with added wind forcing plus sea level rise - SLR00CM_ST_2009 - Current (2009) inundation to 1-in-100 year storm tide level - SLR20CM_ST_2040 - Inundation to 1-in-100 year storm tide level with storm surge increased by 6% plus 20 cm sea level rise - SLR47CM_ST_2070 - Inundation to 1-in-100 year storm tide level with storm surge increased by 13% plus 47 cm sea level rise - SLR82CM_ST_2100 - Inundation to 1-in-100 year storm tide level with storm surge increased by 19% plus 82 cm sea level rise

Abstract

This dataset and its metadata statement were supplied to the Bioregional Assessment Programme by a third party and are presented here as originally supplied.

Polygon data delineating modelled statistical flood extent with an Average Recurrence Interval (ARI) of 100 years. For historical/actual flood extents, refer to 'Historic_extent' layer. Also known as the 1 in 100 year flood layer, it is used, among other things, in the creation of 'Land Subject to Inundation' areas as used in Planning Scheme Zones. The 1 in 100 year data is not restricted. This data is part of a group of layers depicting a range of statistical ARI extents. Current layers include 5, 10, 20, 30, 50, 100, 200, 500, 1000 year intervals, each in a separate dataset. The layer called EXTENT_PMF represents areas of 'probable maximum flood' and is also part of this group. The data is statistically derived using hydrological models, historic flood extents and heights.

Purpose

Mainly used for municipal planning and risk assessment. The EXTENT_100Y_ARI layer is deemed the most appropriate to use for determining areas at risk of flooding. This layer directly inputs into the Land Subject to Inundation overlay. (LSIO)

Dataset History

Lineage: Primary

Positional Accuracy: Precision: 5m to 100m Initial data, flagged as 'modified = 20000101' varies in accuracy, and should be treated with caution, particularly at scales less than 1:25,000. Data with 'modified' values later than 20000101 are quite accurate and mostly sourced from flood studies. This data is suitable to use at township and parcel level. Reliability field provides clues to the accuracy, where a value of 1 is best and 3 is worst.

Attribute Accuracy: Attributes are verified and should be accurate. Overall reliability of the source material is indicated in RELIABILITY field, where 'HIGH' is good and 'LOW' is poor quality source information.

Logical Consistency: Attributes are consistent with other related layers e.g. flood height contours

Data Source: Flood data dates back to mid 1800s and historically has been predominantly located in DNRE Floodplain Management. Some data is located in Water Authorities.

Completeness: Floodplain Management Unit mapping conventions on definitions of flood mapping height data will be followed.

Additional Metadata: Recommend liaison with Floodplain Management Unit to clarify use of this layer

Refer to mapping reports for each major data capture effort to be kept at DNRE Floodplain Management Unit.

The Planning and Environment (Planning Schemes) Act 1996, an amendment to the Planning and Environment Act 1987, enabled the reform of the structure of planning schemes in Victoria, provided for the preparation of municipal strategic statements and provided for the making of the Victoria Planning Provisions (VPP).

The Victoria Planning Provisions form the basis of a consistent and co-ordinated framework for planning schemes in Victoria. Under the provisions of the legislation, local councils were required to prepare new-format planning schemes based on the structure and content of the Victoria Planning Provisions (located in VPRS 16204).

A Ministerial Direction to all planning authorities on "The Form and Content of Planning Schemes" provided guidance in the preparation of the VPP based planning schemes.

The components of the Victoria Planning Provisions were:

- Objectives of planning in Victoria
- Purposes of this planning scheme
- Table of Contents
- User guide
- State Planning Policy Framework
- Standard zones
- Overlays
- Particular Provisions
- General Provisions
- Definitions
- Incorporated Documents
- List of Amendments.

The Local Planning Policy Framework component - comprising of the Municipal Strategic Statement and specific local policies set a local and strategic policy context for the municipality.

The exhibited new format planning scheme maps applied the standardised zones and overlays selected from the Victoria Planning Provisions. (Refer to VPRS 16223).

Following the review and restructure of local government in Victoria and the subsequent reduction in the number of local government municipalities (1994-1995), some newly created councils prepared Amalgamation Amendments in order to consolidate all planning schemes within their restructured municipal boundaries. Former planning schemes were re-titled as chapters of an amalgamated planning scheme. Alternatively, councils became the responsible authority for the operation of existing planning schemes within a restructured local government area.

Researchers may refer to "New Patterns in Local Government: A guide to Victoria's new councils", published by Office of Local Government, September 1995 (available at PROV's Reading Room at North Melbourne).

Refer to VPRS 16204 Amalgamation Amendments / Ordinance.
Refer to VPRS 16155 Amalgamation Amendments / Maps.

The VPP format planning schemes are based on the municipalities created following the restructure of local government in Victoria.

During the period 1997-1998 all new format VPP-based planning schemes were placed on public exhibition with the Department of Infrastructure (D.O.I.). Following the requisite public exhibition period the exhibited documents were retained by the D.O.I. and subsequently by the Built Environment Division of the Department of Sustainability and Environment.
