Restricted and Unavailable Crown Land for Geothermal Energy Operations

Brief description

Land where special permission must be obtained for Geothermal Energy Operations

This layer was developed for land classification for the
Geothermal Energy Resurces Act 2005

This layer is derived mostly from selections from Public Land Management PLM25. Other sources of data include PLM100_V_MMT_WILDLIFE_MGMT for wildlife reserves, PLM100_V_MMT_HERITAGE_RIVER for heritage rivers, PLM100_V_MMT_NATRL_CATCHMENT for natural catchemnt area , PLM100_V_MMT_REFERENCE_AREAS for reference areas, PLM100_V_MMT_WILDERNESS_ZONE for wilderness zones and VEACREC25_POLYGON for water authority land.

The dataset PLM25_GERA is an amalgamation of features defined by:
Gothermal Energy Resources Act 2005 - SECT 79
Gothermal Energy Resources Act 2005 - SECT 81
Gothermal Energy Resources Act 2005 - SECT 82 and
Gothermal Energy Resources Act 2005 - SECT 85

Wilderness and Reference (GERA s79)
Restricted Crown Land (GERA s.81)
Water Authority Land (GERA s 82) and
National and State Parks (GERA s. 85)
