Note: this dataset description is metadata (data about data) which describes the actual dataset in accordance with the ANZLIC (Australia New Zealand Land Information Council) Core Metadata Guidelines Version 2 (February 2001)
ANZLIC unique identifier: ANZNS0359000811
Title: Protected Lands Files
Custodian: Department of Land and Water Conservation (DLWC)
Jurisdiction: New South Wales
Property owner, type of ownership, timber rights, area under application for clearing or logging, description of terrrain, landform, vegetation type, size, structure of trees, details of activity, rate of extraction. The main species to be logged and cleared. Since 1990 further information about landuse, landscape, access details, floristic details, endangered species, soil classification and description and habitat assessment etc were recorded. Up until 1/1/1998 information was required under Part V for protected land, from 1995 under Part IV for SEPP 46 assessments of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act (1979) and subsequently since 1/1/98 for the Native Vegetation Conservation Act 1997.

Geographic bounding box:
The bounding box encloses the maximum extents of the dataset. There may be voids or gaps within the bounding box, depending on the defined coverage of the dataset. Outer bounding rectangle as Latitude/Longitude coordinates based on the WGS84 datum (expressed as both Degrees Minutes Seconds and as decimal Degrees):
- North bounding latitude: 10 42 00.0 S (-10.7)
- South bounding latitude: 28 24 00.0 S (-28.4)
- East bounding longitude: 153 30 00.0 E (153.5)
- West bounding longitude: 142 24 00.0 E (142.4)
Lineage:
Site assessment and monitoring information recorded on data sheets and monitoring reports.
Positional accuracy:
Recorded on county sheets in early assessments, topographic maps 1:25 000, and GPS verified since 1995.
Attribute accuracy:
Vegetation is to community and species, soils to soil type, soils classified according to erodibility rating.
Logical consistency:
not applicable.
Completeness:
Complete for clearing/ logging assessment on sites and consideration of neighbouring landuse, cummunlative effect.
