Data are derived by digital cadastre at the time of inscription, and potentially updated as required using data from Property Manager agencies to reflect improvements in boundary accuracy. Data made available under Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Australia Licence January 2015.
World Heritage Area buffer zones are delineated in this dataset using the STATUS field = 'Buffer Zone'.
Absolute External Positional Accuracy Check
20190327
Dependant upon source data. Complies generally with National Mapping Division, Geoscience Australia data standards for positional accuracy. Some property boundaries have been revised in consultation with State agencies, and other properties are on a schedule for revision and update.
1
Non Quantitative Attribute Accuracy Check
20190327
All available attributes have been checked and are correct.
1
Conceptual Consistency Check
20190327
All data have consistent fields. They are GDA compliant and use the D_GDA_1994 Datum and Spheroid.
