Overview

VEAC was requested on 30 November 2020 by the then Minister for Energy, Environment and Climate Change the Hon Lily D’Ambrosio MP to provide advice on aspects of public land use information.

The request was for technical advice on aspects of public land use information and did not extend to recommending changes to public land use.

The Council provided its completed advice to the Minister for Environment Ingrid Stitt MP on 28 April 2023 in two separate reports.

An inventory of data on recreational activities on Victoria's public land is available in Reports & Resources.

The full terms of reference are available in Reports & Resources.

The advice focused on:

(a) data on recreational activities on Victoria’s public land and any significant knowledge gaps relating to those activities, and

(b) improvements to the VEACRECs25 dataset.

VEACRECs25 is a dataset maintained by VEAC that provides a spatial representation at 1:25,000 scale of the public land use decisions of the Victorian Government or Parliament, including the government-accepted recommendations of VEAC and its predecessors (the Environment Conservation Council and the Land Conservation Council). VEACRECs25 is a key tool to help land managers and the community understand the purpose for which public land is to be managed.
