Caretaker Conventions

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.

Updated Traffic Counter data as of July 2022

This group of layers provides information on select species or groups of plants species that are of conservation interest or listed as threatened (Endangered, Critically Endangered, Vulnerable) under the ACT Nature Conservation Act 2014 or the Commonwealth Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation (EPBC) Act 1999. A location without species mapped as present can be considered data deficient.

This dataset shows habitat / locations of mammals listed as threatened in the ACT under the Nature Conservation Act 2014.

This feature layer shows the extent of native, threatened and exotic grasslands in the ACT. Native grasslands of the Territory include a rich assemblage of flora and fauna species that combine into a unique ecosystem. These grasslands are a priority for protection and management as they contribute to our natural biodiversity, our history and heritage, and local amenity and community. Natural temperate grasslands are an Endangered Ecological Community in the ACT (Nature Conservation Act 2014) and Critically Endangered Ecological Community under the EPBC Act 1999. Other Native and Exotic grasslands in the ACT can also have some conservation significance as they support important populations of threatened fauna and flora.

Soil and Land Resources of the Australian Capital Territory (ACT)

This digital soil landscape product contains natural resource mapping for the Australian Capital Territory. The project was completed by the Office of Environment and Heritage (NSW). The project was funded by the ACT Government to enhance knowledge of soils, landscapes and physical constraints to land use in the urban and rural environment. The information will assist in informed decision making, planning and environmental modelling throughout the catchment.

55 soil landscape map units have been described for the ACT. Each unit is an inventory of soil and landscape information with relatively uniform land management requirements, allowing major soil and landscape qualities and constraints to be identified.

The GIS product shown here provides location of each of the soil landscape map units - including the soil landscape code and name. For more detailed information please see the full soil landscape reports for each unit, as well as the final report shown at: https://www.environment.act.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0010/2079667/soil-landscapes-of-the-act-2016.pdf. Detailed spreadsheets can be used to join more detailed information to the GIS also available on request.

This plan is for invasive plant control on public land in the Australian Capital Territory (ACT). Many of the species are legally required to be controlled (pest plants).

ACT Nature Conservation Threatened Native Species List. A species is threatened if it is likely to become extinct in the foreseeable future. The Nature Conservation Act 2014 (ACT) establishes a formal process for the identification and protection of threatened species and ecological communities.
