Public Land Management (PLM25)

Brief description

This dataset describes public land management for the State of Victoria, where Public Land is defined as land held by/vested in/or owned by DEECA and other government departments, public authorities, Commonwealth government and municipalities. Refer to VEAC Act 2001 for more details.

Public land includes state forests, parks and reserved and unreserved Crown land, including estuarine, coastal and marine areas to the 3 nautical mile limit (5.5 km) from the high watermark. This layer is represented at a scale of 1:25 000 and describes the primary management, land manager and the VEAC recommendations.

PLM25 is a derived layer, using VMPROP.PARCEL_CROWN_APPROVED as the base layer. It relies on tabular and spatial sources to get the land description. PORTAL, PRIMS are the tabular sources of information. PARKRES, VEACRECS25 and CL_TENURE are the spatial sources. Additional layers were also created to describe areas of state forests, plantations, water frontages and commonwealth land.

PLM25 has replaced the old PLM100 datasets.
