Environment
Dataset
This dataset contains the Greenhouse Gas Emissions (GHG) from activities taking place within the geographic boundary of the City of Melbourne Local Government Area.
The City of Melbourne uses the Global Protocol for communities (GPC) method to measure and report municipal greenhouse emissions. Emissions are reported annually through the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) platform, which is a requirement of Global Covenant of Mayors and C40 membership.
Emission sources are broken down across the sectors: Stationary energy, Transportation and Waste. They are categorized by their "scope" which distinguishes between emissions that physically occur within the city (scope 1), from those that occur from the use of electricity and supplied by grids potentially crossing city boundaries (scope 2), from those that occur outside the city but are driven by activities taking place within the city’s boundaries (scope 3). All GHG emissions are presented in units of metric tonnes CO2 equivalent (tCO2e).

In cases where there are limitations on data availability notation keys have been used. NO indicates that an activity or process does not occur or exist within the city. IE signifies GHG emissions for this activity are presented in another category of the inventory. NE is used when emissions occur but have not been estimated or reported due to unavailability of data.
Preparing and reporting this data helps us to understand where the city's emissions come from. It allows us to plan our emission reduction activities to take effective action to mitigate climate change.

Environment
Dataset
This dataset contains the location and location description for each microclimate sensor device installed throughout the city. Each microclimate sensor device will have several climate sensors embedded inside. Sensor devices are typically installed on a street pole and locations are selected based on relevant project criteria.
Since the beginning of the Microclimate Sensor Readings dataset in 2019, some sensor devices have been relocated. This may be for various reasons such as construction works or re-assignment to new climate projects. Any changes to sensor locations are important to consider when analysing and interpreting historical data.
The site_id column can be used to merge the data with related dataset (linked below). Site_id refers to the location of the unique sensor device which may have changed over time.

Environment
Dataset
This dataset contains environmental readings from microclimate sensors located across the city. The data is updated every hour in fifteen minute increments and can be used to determine variations in microclimate changes throughout the day. Microclimate data includes:
- Ambient air temperature
- Relative humidity
- Barometric pressure
- Particulate matter 2.5
- Particulate matter 10
- Average wind speed
The Microclimate Sensor Readings helps us to understand temperature, relative humidity, pressure, particulate matter 2.5, particulate matter 10, and average wind speed at different locations and different times of day to better inform decision-making and plan for the future.
Additional values are included in this dataset to provide an easier way to correlate the data with the official EPA Victoria data. These can be identified with the value 'epa' included in the type column. EPA Victoria report air quality readings in 1 hour and 24 hour averages. This includes; ambient air temperature readings in 1 hour average, relative humidity readings in 1 hour average, particulate matter 2.5 readings in 1 hour and 24 hour averages, and particulate matter 10 readings in 1 hour and 24 hour averages.
The site_id column can be used to merge the data with the Sensor Locations dataset which contains the sensor location. Any changes to sensor locations are important to consider when analysing and interpreting historical microclimate data.
Note this dataset may not contain a reading for every sensor for every 15 minutes as the sensor devices might not have a reading for each value. There may be situations where no readings are reported for all sensors or only some readings are reported at a particular site.
For the description of each sensor please see the sensor type document.

A terrain surface dataset that represents the height value of all natural and built features of the surface of the city. Each pixel within the image contains an elevation value in accordance with the Australian Height Datum (AHD).
The data has been captured in May 2018 as GeoTiff files, and covers the entire municipality.
A KML tile index file can be found in the attachments to indicate the location of each tile, along with a sample image.
Capture Information:
Capture Pixel Resolution: 0.1 metres
Limitations:
Whilst every effort is made to provide the data as accurate as possible, the content may not be free from errors, omissions or defects.

3D textured mesh (photomesh) representing all physical features (e.g. buildings, trees and terrain) across City of Melbourne. The 3D textured mesh is provided in object file format (.obj) and is accompanied by material (.mtl) and image texture (.jpg) files.
The data has been split into a series of tiles covering the entire municipality. An index file (Tile_Index.kml) is included to indicate the geo-spatial location of each tile. To position the mesh in its real world location, use the origin coordinates found in the metadata file (metadata.xml).
The 3D textured mesh is provided in different levels of detail, as indicated in the file name of the .obj filename. The levels of detail vary from L13 (lowest level of detail) to L20 (highest level of detail).
Capture Information
- Capture Date: May 2018
- Capture Pixel Size: 7.5cm ground sample distance
- Map Projection: MGA Zone 55 (MGA55)
- Vertical Datum: Australian Height Datum (AHD)
- Spatial Accuracy (XYZ): Supplied survey control used for control (Madigan Surveying)

Dataset
Insect Records in the City of Melbourne from the Little Things that Run the City Project. This data identifies what individual species were found in the Little Things that Run the City Project and is not a count of all species recorded. This data was obtained from Luis Mata, a postdoctoral researcher at RMIT. The data is owned by the City of Melbourne and RMIT. The project started in October 2014 with the first survey of insects for this project in parks and gardens in the City of Melbourne. More surveys were conducted between January and March 2015. Insect species were sorted and identified from April to September 2015. This is the raw data for the report that was published in late 2016.
Some records are lacking information on the species classifcation level, and may have the correct genus information accompanied with a number in the identification notes column - this donates species 1, 2, or 3 of that genus where the species could not be identfiifed. All records lack a species name as this was not provided to the City of Melbourne in the original dataset.
