Victorian Coastal Action Plans with Geographic Extents, 2010-11

Current Coastal Action Plans dataset from the Victorian Coastal Council's 2010-11 Annual Report indicates the geographic extent covered by each plan. The dataset contains attributes for report title, year, Coastal Board region, unique identifier, and links to the report and source website. Geographic extents were captured by reviewing plans and applying nominal buffers or capturing clear study area boundaries.

Use Cases

• Map the spatial coverage of coastal management policies based on the captured geographic extents.
• Link policy documents to administrative regions based on the Coastal Board region attribute.
• Analyze the distribution of coastal action plans over time based on the report year attribute.
• Reference original source documents directly using the provided report link attribute.

Strengths

• Contains direct links to source reports and website pages for referencing.
• Geographic extents were specifically reviewed and categorized for each plan.
• Attributes include a unique identifier for each report.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to data_gov_au, focusing solely on Victoria.
