The 2003 Bushfire data indicates the total burn area and the status of affected properties.

The list of Mr Fluffy loose fill asbestos insulation affected properties enables former residents, tradespeople and the broader community to know whether particular properties are (or were) affected. Affected premises are identified by unit, block, section and division. As at 31 December 2021, 36 of the 1029 properties on the List of Affected Properties remain on the Affected Residential Premises Register (the Register).

This dataset provides the total numbers of vehicles registered in the ACT as at the first day of each month by their motive power. Motive power in this case indicates the fuel source of the vehicle. These data are used to track the uptake of Zero Emissions Vehicles in the ACT.

This is the result of an initiative of the ACT Government, with support from Geoscience Australia, to create a 'single point of truth' road, track and trail data set for the ACT and its immediate region. Data was brought together from a range of existing custodians and combined to provide a single authoritative data set. The data was filtered and cleaned to select the best representation, both spatially and for the related attributes. The data set is maintained in the ACT Government's Corporate Geographic Database by these custodians according to agreed policy maintenance responsibilities. The data model in a hybrid of one developed by the ICSM Road Working Group adapted to meet specific needs of the ACT government. The entities include Transport_Line, Crossing_Point and Traffic_Control_Device_Point.

The ACT Vegetation Map classifies native and derived vegetation across the ACT at 1:10,000 scale into 64 plant communities. Vegetation communities are geographical units with similar association of plant species. The product also includes canopy cover and height variables based on 2015 ACT LiDAR data. Vegetation maps are important tools for characterising the landscape, informing policy and providing information for land and habitat management plans, including to help identify threats and risks to biodiversity and help prioritise protection of important ecological values in our landscape. This product will enable evidence-based decision-making at a broad regional, local and property planning scale in the ACT. It will also formulate a new baseline for future change detection in the landscape.

Method: In the ACT Vegetation Map, native and derived vegetation across the entire ACT was classified into 64 plant communities using the classification described by Armstrong et al 2013, in addition to three newly described ACT specific communities (Baines et al 2013). Mapping was completed using aerial imagery and stereo pair interpretation (2012-2015), extensive field work, collation of consultant reports and supplemental structural and canopy height datasets extracted from the 2015 ACT LiDAR capture at 1-5m grid resolution (van Dijk et al 2017 - in draft). The work expands on the vegetation mapping completed for the Kowen, Majura and Jerrabomberra districts of the ACT (Baines et al 2013).

The product includes the following attributes :

UMC_ID – Upper Murrumbidgee Catchment vegetation ID (unique vegetation code) (after Armstrong et al 2013)
VEG_COMM – vegetation community name (after Armstrong et al 2013 and Baines et al 2013)
TREESp1-3 – dominant tree species
SHRUBSp1-3 – dominant shrub species
GROUNDSp1-3 – dominant ground cover species
CANOPYCOVER – canopy cover % (based on 1m 2015 LiDAR canopy cover model)
HEIGHT_MEAN – mean canopy height (>3m) (based on 1m 2015 LiDAR canopy height model)
UNDERCOVER – understory/shrubcover % (1-3m) (based on 5m LiDAR understory fractional cover model – van Djik 2017 in press)
STRUCTURE – overall vegetation community structure – e.g. woodland, forest, grassland
FORMATION – Keith Formation - broad classification of native vegetation type in NSW and ACT. Formation can be further divided into Keith Class (Keith 2004).
CLASS – Keith Class- vegetation class (Keith 2004).

This product should be used in conjunction with ACT Soil Landscapes, Hydrogeology and Land hazard mapping available on Actmapi, geological mapping provided by Geoscience Australia, and ACT derived LiDAR products including digital elevation model (DEM), slope and aspect (available CCBY 4.0).

Updates: Version 2018.v1. The product will be updated as required when new information is available to improve accuracy of the product and to reflect changes and disturbance to vegetation, especially in the urban environment.

Fit for purpose: Mapped at 1:10,000. This scale is for use at scales ranging from broad regional planning to local planning and property planning.

The position and extents of a parcel of land, usually the smallest unit of land that can be held under an individual lease without a requirement for further subdivision. URBAN blocks are defined as blocks that appear within a division and have division and section identifiers. RURAL blocks do not usually appear within a division, but may do so if they remain from before the division was created. Blocks may have a lifecycle stage or Proposed, Registered, Approved, Occupied or Retired.PROPOSED: The block is proposed but has not reached any other stage.REGISTERED: The block appears on a Deposited Plan that has been registered with the Land Titles Office.APPROVED: The block appears on an Approved Plan that has been signed by the Territory Planning Section and the Project Officer for the development.OCCUPIED: The block is leased, but does not appear on a registered plan. Leases over unregistered blocks may not be registered at the Land Titles Office, so this stage is used for unregistered blocks with unregistered leases. This normally only occurs in rural areas.RETIRED: Retirement of a block occurs when it is replaced by another block.Note that block boundaries may not always align exactly. The legal definition of a block is defined in the Deposited plan.

The Geocoded Addressing data maintained by Environment and Planning is the authoritative source for addressing in the ACT. The geocoded address provides the spatial location of the address (point) and the conventional description of a block or group of blocks in the ACT generally consisting of a street number, street name, division (urban only) and district. Addressing data is maintained on a daily basis as addresses are allocated resulting from Development Applications (DA), Estate Development Plans (EDP) or residential requests.
Each block may have many addresses and an address may cover many blocks. One urban block may have more than one address if there are several street frontages, or if it is a unit development or a dual occupancy. One rural block may have more than one address for a block. Currently, this is only the case where there is more than one residence on the block, but this may change in the future.
The ACT Government maintains property street address details under the Districts Act 2002. Information is captured for both urban and rural properties.
