Lineage
The extent of the 2006 release areas has been decided upon by Australian Federal Government Departments (GA and ITR) in conjunction with the relevant State Government Departments. The 2006 release areas were originally digitally captured in ArcGis 9.0(ESRI).The latitudes and longitudes of the area polygons were accurately plotted with a geographic co-ordinate system, using the WGS84 datum. Permit outlines have been gathered from a variety of differnt sources. These include state Geological Surveys, private company datasets, from past Acreage Release datasets and from data enty into ArcGIS and MicroStation. Polygons in this file are essentially mapping scale data. It is recommended that the data is used at a scale of 1:1 000 000 or greater. The polygons may not accurately represent the gazetted outline of the permit. Pipeline locations have been gathered from many different sources. These include state government departments and from gas industry bodies and companies. Where possible digital data has been sourced and used, however this is sometimes unavailable. Where this is the case, pipeline locations have been digitized in. Cartographic simplification and symbolisation has occured to the data contained in this shapefile. This data should be used as a guide only. Field outlines have been digitised from IHS Energy maps. The field type attribute has been generated from the IHS Energy symbology and input from Geoscience Australia Geoscientific staff.
