Water Frontage - Parcel based

This dataset is a representation of Water Frontages in Victoria. It was produced in 2026 in preparation for the proposed Public Land Management Reform Bill. It is the raw product derviced from parcel shapes and may contain full parcel or parcel splits dependent on existing reservations or VEAC recommendations.

Another water frontage dataset will be availble which merges features based on water frontage name and within a specified distance.

The data was derived from the crown land parcels and reviewed in terms of what is the latest government decision. This is either in the form of a reservation, gazettal or a VEAC recommendation. A more recent gazettal over rides a VEAC recommendation. Where parcels have been reserved in Land Folio for another purposed but VEAC recommends water frontage, the existing reservation has not been changed. Rather a flag has been placed on the reserve attributes in Land Folio such that when Public Land is Reformed by legistlation in the future, the parcels can be reviewed in relation to changing reserve category.

Note that in some cases the previous VEAC study was used as VEAC25 may have been a broad interpretation by a mapping officer.

Where no water frontage name existed, reference was made to the VicMap hyro named feature.

Any concerns regarding names or shapes of features can be forwarded to the Public Land team at DEECA.

This is a stand alone dataset derived during 2026. Any changes to cadastre will not automatically result in changes to the spatial data.
