This data contains points representing drain and waterway outlet
locations, associated with a natural waterway or channel centreline, within the
Greater Melbourne region. This region includes the Port Phillip Bay and Western
Port coastlines. Points are captured to show the indicative location of the
endpoint for a waterway or channel as geographic coordinates.
The data table includes minimal attributes to assist in
identifying the feature.
Data was created using the waterway (Reach) layer from original FIS
1:50K (Vicmap Hydro) streams data set, which included only those waterways
within catchments of greater than 60ha. Waterways (Reach) Rectification project
undertaken 2001 to 2003 to review and correct the extent of the waterways reach
network to ensure a complete data set exists (using the Drainage Metropolis
Boundary, 50K data, 1:2500 Drainage Record Plans, Drainage Limits data,
orthophotos, as constructed and/or design drawings, contour data and Melway
Street Directory). Waterway (Reach) extents defined and attributes populated in
GIS and AMIS for all records including assigning nodes and node numbers (for
start / end points) and removing any reaches less than 100 metres in length
that are predominantly channel assets. Waterways in extended area incorporated
in 2005 using Vicmap Hydro data and aerial imagery, then updated in 2009/10
using Lidar survey data (contours). Data is maintained using Lidar survey data
(contours) and 60 ha limits. Please refer to metadata for each dataset row
record for specific source / accuracy information.
