Change advisory notice 306 Adding ‘information bays’ to Vicmap FOI

A new feature subtype, ‘information bay’, will be added to feature type ‘sign’ within our Feature Catalogue. The [FOI_POINT] dataset will maintain ‘information bay’ feature subtypes within the Vicmap Features of Interest (VMFOI) product.

Feature Type: sign
Feature Subtype: information bay
Definition: An information bay with signage but no other visitor assets, generally on the side of a road or track
Geometry Type: Point

For further details about feature types and subtypes please review the Feature Catalogue
https://datashare.maps.vic.gov.au/search?q=uuid%3Dad465b71-c0d8-5d98-88e5-54e8499796de

Current feature subtypes ‘tourist information centre’ and ‘trailhead’ are not accurate terms to define the availability of interpretive signage displaying visitor information in off-road or track areas.

The inclusion of Information Bays as a feature subtype has been decided. The feature definition is an industry term used by Park Victoria and Alpine Resort Victoria to support standardisation.

This change may affect Vicmap Features of Interest and Geomark customers.
Incremental Update Format (IUF) customers will not be affected as part of this change.

The additional of a new feature subtype does not adversely impact customers or services, therefore can be implemented without a lead time.
