Victorian Coal Bearing Sub-basin Locations and Attributes

Details the location and attributes of each known coal bearing subbasin or coal domain in Victoria. The data originates from the 'Victorian Coal - A 2006 Inventory of Resources' report. It is provided by the Department of Energy, Environment and Climate Action and was last updated in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Map coal resource potential based on the location of known sub-basins.
• Assess spatial accuracy for resource planning using the 'Loc_Acc' attribute.
• Compare historical resource estimates from the 2006 inventory with newer data.
• Conduct regional geological analysis based on the delineated coal domains.

Strengths

• Spatial accuracy is explicitly defined by a 'Loc_Acc' attribute.
• Data is sourced from an authoritative 2006 government inventory of resources.
• Available in multiple geospatial formats including SHP, GDB, and WFS.

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
• The core resource information is from 2006, which may not reflect current conditions.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
