Data Quality

Lineage:The data is derived from the Pastoral Land Board approved Land Clearing database. The dataset is a compilation of several datasets created in a variety of formats and converted to ESRI file geodatabase format for storage in department Oracle database using geographics with datum GDA94.

Positional Accuracy:Polygon position was supplied by the applicant or altered by the consent authority.

Attribute Accuracy:Attributes taken from details supplied by applicants. Cadastre information relates to time of submission of planning applications. Parcels may have since been subdivided, however approved areas remain valid over new titles until expiry date of permit. Where more than one parcel relates to an application, polygons are labelled with the relevant parcel details.
All polygons have attribute values as described in the Data Dictionary in this metadata record.

Logical Consistency:Several polygons have minor editing problems (slivers) due to either poor digitising of proposed clearing areas or were as provided by the applicant. These polygons cannot be altered as they have been approved. Polygons may overlap previously approved areas that have expired (with works not completed) and new applications assessed and areas approved for clearing.

Completeness:The point of truth dataset is stored in Oracle ArcSDE is updated as applications are approved. The dataset displayed in NR Maps is updated weekly.
