A dataset of structural lineaments with predominant WSW-ENE and lesser WNW-ESE orientations for the Ovens Valley region of Victoria. It was compiled by GHD to inform a report on geological structures' potential influences on groundwater flow systems for the DEPI SAFE Project. The dataset is provided by the Department of Energy, Environment and Climate Action and was last updated in April 2026.
Use Cases
- Model potential groundwater flow paths based on the orientation of structural lineaments.
- Assess geological structure influences on aquifer connectivity for the DEPI SAFE Project.
- Map regional structural trends in the Ovens Valley based on the described lineament orientations.
Strengths
- Data is provided in nine geospatial formats (WMS, DWG, MIF, EXTENDED TAB, DXF, SHP, WFS, TAB, GDB) for broad compatibility.
- Released under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license.
- Compiled by a professional firm (GHD) for a specific government project (DEPI SAFE).
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count and dataset size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
