Lineage
Source information for key land tenure classes (including forestry, nature convervation and Aboriginal lands) have been extracted from State and Commonwealth Government gazettes. Declared areas and boundary changes are recorded from gazettals and data holdings are periodically verified by comparison with information obtained from relevant State authorities. The Commonwealth Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Commission and State government departments have provided information on Aboriginal-held lands which are not gazetted. Information relating to institutional, mining, freehold, crown leasehold and other classes was obtained from published maps but has not been systematically collected and contains little attribute information. Public roads and smaller reserves in urban areas are specifically excluded. The coastline and State/Territory borders were captured from the 1:250 000 scale National Topographic Mapping Series. First cover data was acquired primarily from a previous database maintained in AUSLIG through gazettal information. Boundary information was stored on cadastral maps and individual reserve plans. Boundary information is also available from the revelant State authorities in the form of plans, diagrams, dyelines etc. The boundaries were transferred to 1:250 000 scale overlays by optical and photographic reduction. Overlays were checked against original sources prior to table or scan digitising.
