Title

Planning scheme overlay codelist - Vicmap Planning 

Alternate title

PLAN_OVERLAY_CODELIST 

Resource Type

Dataset  

Purpose

Ideally, it is recommended that Vicmap Planning is to be used in conjunction with Vicmap Property, as zone boundaries generally align to property boundaries. Areas of application may include: · Town Planning/Strategic Planning · Real Estate management · Property Developers · Infrastructure/facilities location and management · Reference framework · Research systems · Valuations analysis 

Supplemental Information

Relationship to other Datasets: Vicmap Planning is related to other VGIS framework information, including Vicmap Property, Transport, Address, etc. Current Design Issues: As part of Spatial Information Infrastructure's spatial data framework strategy, work will continue to bring Vicmap Planning more closely into alignment with current versions of Vicmap Property, particularly in terms of vertical topology. Currently this is only being carried out for the metropolitan area of Victoria. Future Design Issues: It is anticipated that a new attribute be added to the data, being a unique feature identifier, or similar. This will enable features to be identified individually. A definite timeframe has not been put on this development. Related Documents: None https://www.land.vic.gov.au/maps-and-spatial/spatial-data/vicmap-catalogue

Statement

Dataset Source: The Metropolitan scheme maintenance began in 1955 with the production of the 1954 Interim Development Order. It was maintained continuously within the Melbourne Metropolitan Board of Works, (MMBW), Planning Branch until 1985 when the MMBW Planning Branch became part of a new Planning and Environment Department and the maintenance has continued within State Government to the present. During this time the name/s of the data changed from the Melbourne Metropolitan Planning Scheme to the individual Municipal names (pre Local Government amalgamation), to the new (now current), Municipal names. Metropolitan planning scheme digital data capture began in the late 80's/early 90's and was captured by Ministry of Planning and Environment (MPE) staff matching zone boundary nodes to Vicmap Property nodes. This was done in Eagle GIS. Where zone boundaries deviated from Vicmap Property, MPE used the Department's hard copy zone boundary definition information contained in 1:2500 cadastral plans or existing definition plans which had been produced at various times and various scales since 1955. All these plans contained dimension information that was used to align zone boundaries in relation to Vicmap Property. The history of the rural/regional data is quite different and also not so centralised. Information is derived from 3 different sources. · Planning schemes maintained by the Town and Country Planning Board; · Planning schemes maintained by Local Government where they had the resources to perform this function; · Some schemes were a mix of both because the minister had the power in those days to create schemes within Local Government areas. (An example of this was the Lake Eppalock Planning Scheme that bordered 3 municipalities.) All of these rural/regional and metropolitan schemes were consolidated in the mid 80's into individual single municipal schemes with the exception of three schemes that are not Local Government boundary based - French Island, Alpine Resorts and Port of Melbourne Planning Schemes. The rural/regional planning scheme digital data was captured by external contractors matching zone boundary nodes to Vicmap Property nodes. Where zone boundaries deviated from Vicmap Property then the relevant local Government authority was consulted for zone boundary definition information. Data was realigned to a more current version of Vicmap Property as part of DOI's change from Eagle GIS to MapInfo in 1999/2000. Updates of the DOI corporate copy of Vicmap Property involves realignment of planning scheme data where new or altered cadastral boundaries coincide with zoning boundaries. Recent governmental changes have seen the Planning Area within DOI transferred to the Built Environment division within the Department of Sustainability and Environment. Online Initiatives, within the Built Environment, maintain the planning scheme data in Mapinfo format (as individual files for each zone/overlay in each local government area). Dataset Originality: Primary 

Description

Collection Method: . 

Description

The planning scheme map data (maintained as Mapinfo files by the Online Initiatives Group, DSE) is provided to Spatial Information Infrastructure on a weekly basis, and the data is then converted into ArcSDE format, and translated from AGD66 to GDA94.
