This dataset contains the Office of Aboriginal Affairs Victoria (OAAV) cultural heritage management regional boundaries. OAAV is a branch of the Department of Premier and Cabinet (DPC). Victoria has been divided into 5 regions, largely based on the Victorian government regional boundaries. The main difference is that the three metropolitan regions, plus Bass Coast Shire, have been aggregated to form the Metropolitan OAAV region. Also the Grampians and Barwon South-West regions have been aggregated to form the OAAV Barwon South West/Grampians region. Aligned to VicMap Property.

Part of the VLAT dataset series. This dataset plays a key role in the management of Victoria's Crown land. It is being created (June 2003 - Feb 2004) from migrating LCMP layers into the Vicmap structure. At this stage it does not cover Metropolitan Melbourne. The layer provides information about Crown Roads. This dataset s a raw superset of GOV_ROAD_POLYGON. It shows the current and retired states of each feature instance. It supports feature versioning (UFI_RETIRED) and enables feature edting chaining (UFI_OLD). The dataset is continually maintained, obtaining maintenance from authoritative sources within State Government. VLAT_GOV_ROAD_POLYGON is a polygon layer depicting Government Roads including roads as laid out on Parish Plans & proclaimed as Road in Government Gazettes. The Vicmap Parcel and VM_CROWN_SIMPLE layer is also recording "G" CROWN_STATUS Parcels that are Government Roads parcelled by the Crown Land Registry unit.

A range of data tables have been collated across ten different themes.

Part of the Vicmap Features of Interest dataset - Point location of localities within Victoria. This dataset is a cartographic product that optimises the display locality/township locations in Victoria and adjoining States specifically for map production and webservices. The records in this dataset represent the location of localities where a spatial point is identifiable both within Victoria and 50 km's beyond the State border. All Victorian records are registered in the Geographic Names Register and hold the associated Geonames ID. Non Victorian records represent similiar features in order to support mapping in areas adjacent to the Victorian Border. For a authoritative list of Victorian localities see VMADMIN_LOCALITY_POLYGON.
