Statement

Australia's SWMA boundaries were initially defined from Geoscience Australia's Australia's River Basins 1997 data. All States and Territories, except for Tasmania and Western Australia, split some of the basins into smaller areas. The details of these are described in detail in ASWMA 2000's Product User Guide.
