ANZLIC unique identifier: ANZNS0359000831
Title: Catchment Boundaries of New South Wales
Custodian: Department of Land and Water Conservation (DLWC)
Jurisdiction: New South Wales
This data set shows the administrative catchment boundaries as defined under the NSW Conservation Act. Boundaries east of the Lachlan were gazetted around 1986. Western boundaries have not been gazetted and, hence, have the label (Not notified) attached to them. The Western catchment boundaries are more appropriately described as sub-catchments as they do not straddle the Darling River. The data set is taken from the NSW broad scale topographic base developed by CaLM (LIC) in map form in the Atlas of New South Wales. The data has been digitised from 1:100 000 base maps by the Soil Conservation Service of New South Wales.

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: 28 00 00.0 S (-28)
- South bounding latitude: 37 30 00.0 S (-37.5)
- East bounding longitude: 154 00 00.0 E (154)
- West bounding longitude: 141 00 00.0 E (141)
