Map of the boundary of the Ginini Flats Ramsar listed wetland. Ramsar listing is of international status and protection from the listing is recognised under ACT Nature Conservation Act and Federal EPBC Act.

Under the Environment Protection Act 1997 (Section 41A), it is a requirement that certain activities that pose environmental risk call for an Environmental Authorisation. Environmental Authorisations are one of the most important regulatory tools available to the EPA, as they set out conditions for activities carrying with them the greatest environmental risk. Each authorisation can be individually tailored for the activity it authorises, and can impose specific conditions on the conduct of the activity.

Ambient air quality monitoring is undertaken in the ACT to both support both the National Environment Protection Measures and an Air Quality Index (AQI) to better communicate the ambient air quality to the ACT Community.

This dataset consists of daily records of total rainfall (mm) and mean daily streamflow (Megalitres/day) from monitoring stations across the Australian Capital Territory. These data are procured by the Environment, Planning and Sustainable Development Directorate and Transport Canberra and City Services.
pk – stands for ‘primary key’ – an internal record tracking identifier
QualityCode – numeric code denoting the quality of the data. See http://www.bom.gov.au/water/hrs/qc_doc.shtml for details
DatetimeAEST – time of record. Mean daily streamflow is calculated over a period from midnight (00:00:00) AEST to 23:59:59 AEST, with date and time assigned from the beginning of the period. Total rainfall is calculated over a period of 09:00:00 AEST to 8:59:59 AEST, with day and time assigned from the end of the period.
SiteID – a unique code for each site. Streamflow sites generally start with “410…” while rainfall gauges generally start with “570…”. See “ACT Hydrologic sites” for site details, including latitude:longitude and site name.
Unit – unit of measurement.
Value – a numeric value of the unit of measurement.
Varcode – a unique numeric code for each variable.
VariableName – the name of the variable.
LastObservedTimeAEST – date and time (AEST) when the record was last updated.
DataType – definition of the type of data aggregation method used.
Owner – denotes the agency that owns the data.

Point data is available in the table 'ACT streamflow and rainfall data - point data'

Environmental protection agreements are formal agreements under the Environment Protection Act 1997, between the Environment Protection Authority (EPA) and people conducting certain activities that pose environmental risks. Environmental protection agreements allow scope for businesses to manage their environmental performance in partnership with the EPA rather than the EPA acting solely as enforcer.
