Series Information

Lineage

The original ports points were digitized in 2012 from the library of imagery held within Geoscience Australia. Imagery used ranged from 0.15 metre resolution aerial photos to 2.5 metre resolution satellite images. A complete revision was completed in August 2014, when the dataset was rechecked for accuracy and completeness to the extent possible. Disclaimer: Geoscience Australia has tried to make the information in this product as accurate as possible. However, it does not guarantee that the information is totally accurate or complete. Therefore, you should not solely rely on this information when making a commercial decision. This dataset is not to be used for navigational purposes. Source Information: Primary information sources used to identify and attribute the major ports came from internal Geoscience Australia (GA) data, annually released and publicly available publications and supplemented with information from online marine tracking sources, port owners/operators, and government agencies, including websites, annual reports and case studies. NOTE: The data may not fully reflect all recent changes in port facility operations, upgrades, downgrades, operating status, ownership and operators of included ports. There may be port omissions because of non-discovery of information.
