Permian Glacial Sediment Extent in the Goulburn-Murray Area

Holdgate (1995) describes Permian glacial sediments extending south along the Loddon, Campaspe, Goulburn, and Ovens river valleys. This dataset defines their extent, compiled by GHD for a report on geological influences on groundwater flow. The Department of Energy, Environment and Climate Action published it under a CC-BY-4.0 license.

Use Cases

• Modeling groundwater flow systems based on the influence of Permian sediments and underlying basement faults.
• Mapping the extent of Permian glacial sediments for geological survey and research.
• Analyzing the relationship between Permian sediments and early Tertiary Renmark Group deposits.
• Informing resource allocation and land-use planning based on subsurface geological structures.

Strengths

• Dataset is published under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license.
• Compiled by a professional engineering firm (GHD) for a specific government project.
• Includes multiple geospatial file formats (WMS, SHP, DXF, etc.) for interoperability.

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.
