Victorian Resources Online

About Victorian Resources Online

VRO is a trusted source of information about Victoria’s soils, landscapes, and natural resources. The information is used by land managers, researchers, and students to help understand the environment and support better land use decisions. VRO includes maps, images, reports, and data, making it a reliable resource for planning, education, and environmental management.

Changes to access

Access to the Victorian Resources Online has changed.

From July 2025, the VRO website transitioned to a downloadable resource and the website was decommissioned. This is due to changes in Victorian Government digital accessibility standards that mean the current site is no longer fit for purpose.

VRO content will soon be available in a different format.

• VRO will be available for download from the Public Record Office of Victoria website (note this is due to go live later in July).

• Agriculture Victoria will also maintain a copy of the VRO, and stakeholders can request a USB copy be sent to them via Australia Post.

If you choose to access VRO through a USB copy, you’ll need to sign a data sharing agreement. This is in line with the Creative Commons licence under which VRO information is shared.
