Victorian Biodiversity Atlas fauna records (unrestricted) for sites with high spatial accuracy

Brief description

This layer contains a snapshot of fauna taxa records from the Victorian Biodiversity Atlas (VBA) (including most threatened taxa). The main attributes in this layer are survey id, survey location, date, time, locational accuracy, taxa recorded, counts, observation type, survey type, collector, and reliability of the record. The VERS_DATE column identifies the currency of the data.

Although this is a point layer, the actual accuracy of the site can range from +/- 1m to +/- 500m.

The FFG field has been updated to reflect the 2021 FFG Act amendments, and the Victorian Advisory List (VICADV) is now obsolete.



This layer excludes restricted taxa records. These records are contained in the related (but restricted) dataset VBA_FAUNA_RESTRICTED. Public users wishing to view the general location of these records should refer to the related dataset VBA_RESTRICTED_1M.
