21st December 2012 Enterprise Suitability Mapping         21/12/2012
The Wealth from Water project has delivered 20 enterprise suitability layers covering 45,000 ha in the Meander Irrigation Scheme and 27,000 ha within the Midlands irrigation scheme. A layer of information containing soil sample sites with accompanying fact sheets supports the suitability layers. These suitability layers combine new digital soil mapping techniques, modeled climate data and crop rules and will assist farmers and potential investors make more informed land use decisions based on the suitability of different enterprises across the study areas.

Each layer is produced at a sub-catchment scale of 1:50,000 and is not intended to be used at the paddock scale. DPIPWE is seeking feedback from users of this information as to how the product could be improved. Comments may be sent to LandManagementEnquiries@dpipwe.tas.gov.au. Further information is also available from the Wealth from Water website.

The latest version of the Forest Group dataset is now available on LIST. Forest Group provides an up-to-date overview of Tasmania's forests, especially the extent of industrial plantations. Forests are mapped into seven broad categories: Tall Native Eucalypt Forest, Short Native Eucalypt Forest, Rainforest, Other Native Forest, Hardwood Plantation, Softwood Plantation, and Non-Forest. It is based on photo-interpreted forest-type mapping of native forest structure, together with harvest and plantation information from forest companies. Data for private land is compiled by Private Forests Tasmania, and is accurate to December 2010. Data for public land is compiled by Forestry Tasmania, and is accurate to June 2011.

3rd May 2012 Planning Scheme data has been reinstated in LISTmap.        03/05/2012
The recent decision to remove the data from LISTmap was due to concerns that not all Planning Scheme amendments were available in this data. In reply to LIST user feedback the data has been reinstated, but with clearer advice to users that the data may not be current and users need to verify all Planning Scheme data with the relevant Local Government Authority, prior to making any decisions.

As new schemes are completed via the Planning Schemes Online project, existing LISTmap data will be replaced. New schemes will progressively become available, culminating in a single state-wide Planning Zone layer together with individual overlays.

The Spatial Information Foundations Project (www.dpipwe.tas.gov.au/sif) will also provide improved capacity for the management and maintenance of digital planning scheme data, which will ensure that the most current planning scheme information is provided through The LIST.

7th October 2011 Planning Scheme Changes        07/10/2011
Due to the complexities of maintaining up to date planning scheme data for all LGA areas, the following out of date Planning Schemes have been removed from LISTmap as of the 7/10/2011.
Central Coast Council, Clarence City Council and Beaconsfield.

15th July 2011 ShoreBase Study: Foreshore Values, Condition and Pressure for Northern and Cradle Coast NRM Regions        15/07/2011
Aquenal P/L presents Shorebase: An assessment of the values, condition and pressures of foreshores on the entire coastline, inc. National Parks and islands of the North and Cradle Coast NRM Regions. It depicts foreshore condition and risk of environmental stressors such as aquatic sediments, bacteria and pathogens, biota removal and disturbance, habitat removal, hydrodynamics, introduced species, litter, nutrients, pH and toxicants. Natural values relating to ecology and geomorphology are also identified, as well as human use values such as recreation and tourism use, commercial activity, amenities and heritage significance.

Intended for coastal managers, land users and community groups, the integrated approach can help improve our understanding of the interactions between humans and the coastal environment, whilst providing a basis for ecologically sensitive planning and management.

2nd March 2011 Sprents Book Mosaic - Bringing History to Life        03/03/2011
As part of DPIPWE's archiving project, historic charts & surveys from Tasmania's past are being turned into digital images. One excellent example is James Sprent's 1841 detail survey of Hobart. The individual pages of this survey have been scanned in high resolution colour and these digital images were then geo-referenced so that they can be viewed behind modern information in a GIS system. As a further enhancement, the individual images were joined to form a single image that could be made available via LISTmap.
The Sprents Book Mosaic has been put together from the scanned images taken of the individual pages of James Sprent's 1841 detail survey of Hobart. The mosaic does not include all pages of the original survey as there were duplicate pages for some town block. Each image was clipped along the street lines and then joined to form a single image. Further details about James Sprent and his detail survey can be found at the attached link here

The Council has provided two images which including 40cm rural and 15cm urban aerial photogrammetry and covers the Launceston Local Government Area. It is hoped that many benefits will flow through to local businesses and the community with this information being made available for public use. This is a big improvement in the base mapping of Launceston and will improve the clarity and accuracy. The image is also available on Google Maps. Launceston City Council captures new imagery approximately every three years.

10th May 2010 Acid Sulfate Soils        11/05/2010
Acid Sulfate Soils predictive mapping layers are now available in LISTmap under the "Natural Environment -> Soils" category. Three layers are available which show the landscapes with potential to contain Acid Sulfate Soils in: 1) Coastal, 2) Inland and 3) Marine subaqueous areas throughout the state. A fourth layer shows and categorises Acid Sulfate Soil survey sites around the state and includes links to site data from the Tasmanian Acid Sulfate Soils Information project.

These datasets are a result of a NHT (National Heritage Trust) funded project headed by the NRM Cradle Coast to delineate areas with potential to contain Acid Sulfate Soils (ASS). The dataset forms part of the larger project pertaining to Tasmanian Acid Sulfate Soils Information (TASSI) with the aim of providing better awareness to stake holders and planners in regards to the distribution of Acid Sulfate Soils in Tasmania.

Further information on Acid Sulfate Soils, including identification and management is available on the DPIPWE website on http://www.dpipwe.tas.gov.au/inter.nsf/WebPages/SWEN-83NVBG?open

25th August 2009 Cadastral Boundary Segments Layer        25/08/2009
A new Boundary Segments layer has been added to LISTmap under the "Land Use and Administration - Cadastre" category. Boundary segments are the spatial mapping of all cadastral boundaries within Tasmania. A boundary segment's spatial accuracy varies depending on its source, which is attributed to each feature. The lines were initially derived from 1:5,000 and 1:25,000 mapping data, but have been progressively upgraded over the last 10 years by the addition of new co-ordinated subdivisions and other spatial upgrade projects. To aid the user, features have been symbolised by colours into ranges indicating the level of accuracy.

Warning: Users should be aware that this information is for general guidance and is not guaranteed. Users should not use co-ordinates derived from LISTMAP for the on-ground location of boundaries. Users also need to be aware that other LIST layers including aerial imagery may not have the same level of positional accuracy which may give the illusion of a discrepancy.
