Dataset used in Geocortex sites, upload shape file workflow.

This layer contains line, point and annotation features delineating utility features. All features are identified and coded according to the Australian Standard Geographic Information Systems - Geographic Data - Interchange of feature-coded digital mapping data AS2482 - 1989.

This land use map has been prepared under contract with Bureau of Rural Sciences (BRS) for Murray-Darling Basin Commission (MDBC). The classification scheme followed here was the Australia Land Use Mapping (ALUM) classification version 4 (BRS, 2001). ALUM version 4 was developed by BRS as a modification of Baxter - Russell Classification, in coordination with State agencies. This product is based on information from a number of sources: Corporate Geospatial Data Library (CGDL), former DNRE regional data sets, satellite imagery from ACRES, the planning maps from Infrastructure Department, and the newly acquired field survey information. Data was sourced from 1996 to 2005. Product was independently validated. Overall accuracy is 89.27%.

1:250 000 map boundaries used for reference purposes. These are an amalgam of 1:100 000 map boundaries edited to include narrow strips on the Victorian border that would otherwise be on a separate mapsheet.

This layer delineates broad agricultural land uses in Victoria. LUSE250_1991 was created by manually interpreting 1991 LANDSAT TM satellite data and incorporating forest cover boundaries from FORCOV500-87. The land use boundaries have been registered to 1:500,000 topographic features. (not current - see revised LANDUSE250)

This layer is a data fusion of LANDSAT Thematic Mapper and SPOT Panchromatic satellite imagery. The layer combines the multi-spectral characteristics (bands 5,4 and 3 or 2) of the LANDSAT and the spatial (10 metre) resolution of the SPOT to provide image data applicable to scales up to 1:25,000. The image pixel resolution is 10 metres. The image dates range from 1992 onwards for SPOT and 1993 onwards for LANDSAT TM.
