Permitted Sambar Deer Hunting Areas in Victoria

Department of Energy, Environment and Climate Action provides a spatial dataset defining boundaries where Sambar Deer hunting is legally permitted. The dataset integrates legislative restrictions from multiple acts and is derived from the PLM25 dataset with supplemental boundaries. It specifies conditions for permitted hunting of Game and Pest animal groups and species.

Use Cases

• Map legally permitted hunting zones for Sambar Deer using the derived boundary polygons.
• Analyze spatial restrictions on hunting based on legislative rules from the Forest Act, National Park Act, and others.
• Cross-reference hunting area boundaries with other land management datasets for compliance planning.

Strengths

• Boundaries are derived from the authoritative PLM25 dataset.
• Rules developed in consultation with multiple government authorities including the Game Management Authority and VicPolice.
• Dataset is based on requirements from several legislative acts, providing a legal foundation.

Limitations

• Specific row counts, column attributes, and sample data are unavailable for assessing granularity.
• Dataset may require GIS expertise and specific tools to handle the provided DWG, SHP, GDB, and other spatial formats.
• Users must independently verify current hunting seasons and license requirements, as noted in the description.
