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

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.

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 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 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 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.

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.

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.

This dataset is produced by the Seamless Geology project. The data represents the surface geology, including surficial unconsolidated deposits and outcropping (or near-outcropping) bedrock, geological unit contacts, faults and shear zones. The project was compiled in stages, based on the structural zones of Victoria (2006-2014).

Some of the supplied data contains geological lithology and age information which is a complex relationship (ie. one to many). Geological units may have multiple lithologies or event ages. This relationship is established in the ESRI MXD file found in the ESRI Geodatabase ver 9.3 folder. To apply this to the shapefile/mapinfo files requires software that is capable of creating a one to many relationship between fields. This can be established between the GEOGRAPHIC field (in any shapefile/mapinfo with a GEOLUNIT prefix in the name) and the GEOGRAPHIC field in either/or both the GEOLOGICALAGE and LITHOLOGY tables.

Purpose

To provide a seamless geological interpretation of the surface geology of Victoria. Geometry and attribution will be reconciled at scale and across scales for 1:50 000 and 1:250 000. Geology of suitable quality collected in the pre-digital era (e.g. 1 to 1 mile maps) will supplement the more recent data in the 50k or 250k layers. The project will generalise the reconciled 50k geological mapping into the 250k geology.

Speed Signs is a spatial dataset (point) that shows the location of every Speed Limit sign across Victoria including advisory 'Speed Limit Ahead' signs. The data includes attributes such as Road Name, Sign Size, Type, Speed Value, Bearing and Direction. Variable speed signs display the alternative speed limit during the times that limit is active. This is captured in the variable time and day fields in the dataset. A standard ('static') speed sign with the prevailing speed limit is provided at the end of the zone which serves to end the variable zone, or act as a reminder sign for times when the variable speed limit isn't active. Data Quality Whilst every effort has been made to ensure this information is up-to-date, there may be instances where signs are not yet recorded in this system.

The structure and metamorphic development of a mid-crustal shear zone that occurs in the basement rocks east of Mt. Dromedary, South Victoria Land, was determined. The emphasis was on the structural and metamorphic evolution that has occurred in the Koettlitz Group Metasediments, as well as the relationship to the neighboring granites and gabbros. The nature (microstructure, pressure and temperature of formation) and origin of the deformed pegmatite associated with the shear zone was studied. Comparisons of sheared and unsheared gabbro/meta-sediment and foliated granite/metasediment contact was completed by surveying and sampling east of Mt Dromedary in the shear zone and north of Mt Dromedary where the rocks were unaffected by the shear zone. Fieldwork consisted of detailed mapping and sampling of the foliated granite and metasedimentary boundary south of Camp Valley, mapping of metasediment/gabbro contact, composition and structure north of Renegar Glacier, mapping and sampling foliated granite and foliated granite/metasediment boundary, composition and structure of foliated granite and metasediment on the Southern flanks of Mt Dromedary, mapping and sampling on the ridge west of the Dromedary Glacier, on the south side of the Renegar Glacier, Marble Saddle, Walcott Ridge, Glee Ridge and the east side of the amphitheatre.

This dataset contains line features representing a boundary which indicates the long-term limits of urban development in metropolitan Melbourne. It only affects 17 LGAs within the Melbourne metropolitan area.
