Item Information

snippet: This dataset provides a quick reference to OUTER Boundaries of Declared Fish Habitat Areas for the State of Queensland (Fisheries Act 1994). The official plans are available on the Department of Environment, Science and Innovation website. www.desi.qld.gov.au - Managing protected areas - Declared Fish Habitat Areas. For this current State coverage - there are Revisions to 11 areas associated with the Great Sandy Marine Park Review - Notification Date 29 March 2024 with a Commencement Date 21 May 2024. Note: Fraser Island FHA-053 is now replaced with K'gari FHA-053 (Official Name amended). Declared Fish Habitat Areas in terms of boundary definition and the Digital Cadastral Data Base are as listed with date "Currency".

description: <DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P><SPAN>The 72 Fish Habitat Areas in this dataset are declared under Section 120 - Fisheries Act 1994 and Schedule 3 of Queensland Fisheries Regulations 2008, effective 21 March2024. This is a composite of ALL Fish Habitat Area boundary areas gazetted/re-gazetted between 1998-2024. (The 'OUTER BOUNDARY' conforms where possible to base data, prepared from the Digital Cadastral Data Base (DCDB) produced by the Department of Resources (DOR), and representative of Real Property and Crown Land boundaries. For EXCLUSIONS or INCLUSIONS within these FHA areas - refer to referenced gazettals. Latest Gazettal - May2024. Note: This dataset has had limited 'OUTER BOUNDARY' line validation with the current cadastre which may have changed in the last 2 years. The indicative boundaries have been adjusted in accordance with DCDB shifts that are continuously refined by ground survey and survey control. Cadastre Currency is varying for the 72 areas and described in the attribute data (April 2015-May 2024). To facilitate easy reference to plans use the hyperlink field now included within the attribute details. See Note in Use Limitations.</SPAN></P></DIV></DIV></DIV>
licenseInfo: <DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P><SPAN>Outer boundaries as depicted within this dataset are representative only of the boundaries shown on the Gazetted plans. The boundaries are for Administrative purposes only and NOT for USE as formal surveyed lines. While the plans and this dataset are formed on a base data using the Digital Cadastral Database (Qld) the locational accuracy of the boundaries are, as captured, at a point in time. The DCDB is a volatile source that is continually prone to spatial adjustment as new survey data is captured. Hence the Outer Boundary may NOT truly reflect current cadastre in position and/or parcel identification.</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>**Note1** - There is an additional field "Declared_P" which provides a hyperlink option as a "URL" link to the Declared Fish Habitat Area plans as they are provided on the DESI website. When activated, the gazettal plan will populate an Adobe Viewer window with a copy of the official FHA plan - these plans can then be zoomed for detail.</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>**Note 2** in reference to DATUM - as the Declaration of 72 Fish Habitat Area plans extends over many years the DATUM of the DCDB on which they have been prepared has varied. The current DATUM of the 11 recently revised areas is GDA2020, while those previously are GDA94 and may be AGD84. This information is described on each plan itself and hence any co-ordinates shown on the plan relate to said datum.</SPAN></P></DIV></DIV></DIV>
