Victoria Features of Interest Extent Polygons with Versioning

2026-03-09 updated polygon dataset from the Department of Transport and Planning, representing the spatial extents of all Features of Interest across Victoria. It supports feature versioning and edit chaining, capturing both current and retired states of each feature instance. The dataset is available in multiple GIS formats including SHP, DXF, TAB, DWG, EXTENDED TAB, MIF, and GDB.

Use Cases

• Analyze spatial distribution and density of Features of Interest across Victoria using polygon extents.
• Track feature lifecycle and versioning history by examining RETIRE_DATE_UFI and state attributes.
• Reconstruct feature edit workflows and lineage using the UFI_OLD field for chaining.
• Integrate polygon extents with other Vicmap Topographic Themes via common identifiers for comprehensive mapping.

Strengths

• Includes both current and retired states of each feature instance, enabling temporal analysis.
• Supports feature versioning and edit chaining through specific fields like RETIRE_DATE_UFI and UFI_OLD.
• Available in 7 common GIS file formats (SHP, DXF, TAB, DWG, EXTENDED TAB, MIF, GDB) for broad compatibility.

Limitations

• Specific row count, column names, and dataset size are unknown, limiting precise assessment of scale and structure.
• As a superset and index, the data may contain abstracted or generalized representations rather than original feature geometry.
