EPA maintains a searchable list of properties issued with a certificate or statement of environmental audit in accordance with sections 53V and 53X of the Environment Protection Act. A certificate of environmental audit is issued for a property where, following an audit, an environmental auditor believes the environmental condition of the land is suitable for any beneficial use. EPA Environmental Audits most commonly take place when land is proposed for new use and is potentially contaminated, or if it is already covered by an Environmental Audit Overlay. This dataset mirrors the audit data available on EPA's website interaction portal, but may not be up to date due to data transfer processes. For the most up to date data, go to EPA's website interaction portal.

A derived dataset of extracted features from Vicmap TR_ROAD dataset that represents the DELWP-managed recreation track network mainly in State Forest. Recreation Tracks within State Forest dataset represents walking/cycling tracks and touring routes within State Forest. This dataset will assist staff in their management roles and facilitate promotion to the public. All tracks are actively promoted to the public and maintained by the Department of Environment, Land, Water & Planning. This dataset was initially created as part of the 2004 Recreation Facilities Database project and is now actively maintained through Vicmap Roads and extracted for use with apps and asset management tools.It is regularly updated to reflect changes to our recreationals tracks (including walking, mountain biking and other tracks).

Recreation sites dataset describes recreation sites (such as picnic and camping sites) within State Forest. This dataset provides valuable information to promote these sites for public use as well as assisting staff in their management of these sites. All recreation sites within State Forest have been captured and recorded with a Trimble Pro XR GPS and are actively promoted to the public and maintained by the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning.

Groundwater Quality Restricted Use Zones (GQRUZ) are areas where there has been historic groundwater pollution as a result of previous industrial or other activities. These zones have been subject to clean up in line with the relevant environmental standards. However, restrictions remain on what the water can be used for if it is extracted via a groundwater bore. A GQRUZ remains when attempts have been made to clean up the groundwater at the affected site, but full clean-up was not possible - as it is often difficult to remove 100 per cent of groundwater pollution. It also may be impractical to clean up groundwater to the level needed to restore it to its original condition. EPA then identifies restrictions that should remain on how the water can be used without further treatment. GQRUZ do not represent a comprehensive list of all sites where groundwater quality may not be suitable for use. Rather, they represent locations where EPA has formally recognised that groundwater is polluted, following site investigations under EPA's environmental audit program. Other sources of information on groundwater quality include EPA's Priority Sites Register, which lists sites which are currently undergoing clean-up under EPA's compliance and enforcement activities. This dataset mirrors the GQRUZ data available on EPA's website interaction portal, but may not be up to date due to data transfer processes.

A derived dataset of extracted features from Vicmap TR_ROAD dataset that represents the DELWP-managed recreation track network mainly in State Forest. The tracks have been assigned the RecWeb track ID (Serial Number). The fetaures are dissolved on this serial number to create single part features for each track element.
