A dataset for display as a layer in the Australian Mines Atlas. It is compiled from many shapefiles of Aboriginal Land, including: Indigenous Protected areas (from DEWHA), Registered Indigenous Land Use Agreements, (hosted by GA on behalf of the National Native Title Tribunal) Determinations of Native Title, (hosted by GA on behalf of the National Native Title Tribunal) Registered Native Title Claims, (hosted by GA on behalf of the National Native Title Tribunal) Indigenous land, freehold and leasehold (prepared by Peter Richardson at GA in 2009)

This service has been created specifically for display in the National Map and the chosen symbology may not suit other mapping applications. The Australian Topographic web map service is seamless national dataset coverage for the whole of Australia. These data are best suited to graphical applications. These data may vary greatly in quality depending on the method of capture and digitising specifications in place at the time of capture. The web map service portrays detailed graphic representation of features that appear on the Earth's surface. These features include the relief and physiography themes from the Geoscience Australia 250K Topographic Data. The service contains layer scale dependencies.

This Professional Opinion reports the interim findings of a consultancy undertaken for the Secretariat for the Pacific Regional Environment Programme (SPREP) by Geoscience Australia in the period 15 December 2010 to 2 April 2011. Geoscience Australia was engaged by SPREP to assist in developing a business case for a Pacific Climate Change Portal. This portal will act as a focus for climate and climate change information relevant to the Pacific, provide up to date information for decision makers, and researchers, and improve communication and collaboration in adaptation initiatives by national, regional and international stakeholders. Geoscience Australia has consulted as much as possible in the time available with stakeholders for the portal identified by SPREP to be 'core'. These stakeholders include the Secretariat of the Pacific Community (SPC), United Nations organisations, notably the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), and the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), along with SPREP itself. The consultations allowed Geoscience Australia to identify key issues, recommend core functionalities of the portal and a preferred operational model and identify partnerships and resources required for sustainable, long term operation of the portal. As a part of this consultancy, Geoscience Australia constructed a 'demonstrator' Pacific Climate Change web portal to illustrate how users could operate the proposed key functionalities of the portal, and to give potential users an illustration of two 'look and feel' options. This demonstrator portal can be visited at http://www.pacificportal.com.au/ . It will be active until approximately the end of June 2011.
