This spatial dataset should not be used at a scale greater than 1:50,000. The dataset was derived by digitising regional boundaries interpreted on Basemap World Imagery and Google Earth; legacy land system mapping boundaries still remain some northern areas pending completion of updated digitising. The REALM Level 1-regions are equivalent to the other broad biogeographical regional stratification across the Australia.Standard access notes Download the spatial data package via https://data.nt.gov.au/ You are licensed to use this publication on the terms and conditions set out in: Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License (CC BY 4.0) at: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode If you do not agree to the terms and conditions you must not use this publication.

The polygon boundary for each zone is combined and updated into a Northern Territory dataset using an ESRI ArcGIS Pro file geodatabase. Updated region boundaries are digitised on screen directly from Base Map World Imagery and Google Earth at a scale of 1:5 000 to 1: 10 000.0not knownAll polygons attributed using the data dictionary as described below.0The regional boundaries in the northern part of the Northern Territory have been interpreted from legacy land system mapping at 1:250 000. Elsewhere the boundaries have been digitised at a scale of 1:5 000 to 1: 10 000 using BaseMap World Imagery and Google Earth.
