At 1:250 000 all prohibited areas should be fully revised using the NPIL database clip supplied. All features in the NPIL database meeting the size and other selection criteria will be included in the new database. The only exceptions to this rule are those prohibited areas in the TOPO250K NTDB with an authority classification of 'Not Applicable' or 'Other (not specified)' which do not have an equilivant feature in NPIL as well as any additional features which may appear on the source map (when the source map is not the previous edition NTMS). These features should be reviewed against the project instructions and if no direction has been supplied the producer should seek clarification from Geoscience Australia on how and/or if these features should be represented in the revised database.

At 1:100 000 size and other selection criteria apply to all feature occurrences. All features in the NPIL database clip supplied will be included which meet the selection criteria. Feature occurrences on the latest previous edition map or in base material/digital data (e.g. state mapping databases) meeting the selection criteria but which do not have an equilivant feature in the NPIL database should be reviewed against the project instructions. If a feature is not addressed in the project instructions the producer should seek clarification from Geoscience Australia on how and/or if the feature should be represented in the revised database.

The Authority classification for prohibited areas should not be populated with a value of 'Not Applicable'. All prohibited areas obtained from miscellaneous sources (e.g. previous edition map or special instruction) whose authority is not known should have an authority classification of 'Other (not specified)'.

Prohibited areas will be named if names are included in the supplied material.
 
Prohibited areas are to have an accompanying textnote ‘prohibited area’ unless the words ‘prohibited area’ are included in the name. Where the reserve is identified by a number, only the reserve type will be shown.  

Prohibited Areas cannot overlap other Prohibited Areas.  

Prohibited Areas will be bounded by a Prohibited Area Boundary Line., see section 3 Chapter 5.17.

The offset will move the feature to the left when viewed from start node to end node.  

TEXT NOTE (TEXTNOTE) [String; Yes; 50; Pop_Dep] Descriptive note to appear on map. Text Note field should be added when directed in the Geodatabase Rules or if descriptive information is known about a feature that is not covered by any other item in the feature class and expands on the definition of the feature.

Where different Prohibited Areas are separated by a linear feature such as a road two Prohibited Area Boundary Lines will be shown each at greater than 50 metres at 1:250 00 and 20 metres at 1:100 000 from the feature separating the Prohibited Areas. Road reserves will not be shown through a Prohibited Area.
 
The Prohibited Area Boundary Line symbol will not be offset from Reserve Boundary Line symbols if they are not also coincident with another symbolised linear feature.

At 1:100 000 a TextNote may be added to the data where a prohibited area boundary is not symbolised because it follows the coastline, for example ' prohibited area boundary follows coastline'.

Prohibited Area Boundary Lines will bound Prohibited Areas and Prohibited Area Voids.

Prohibited Area Boundary Lines of symbol number 64 will be digitised such that the Prohibited Area is on the left going from start node to end node.

When a Prohibited Area Boundary Line has a similar shape to a feature listed below, it must be coincident with that feature if:
- the line falls within 50m at 1:250 000 and 20m at 1:100 000, or
- if the Prohibited Area Boundary Line appears that it should follow the feature.

In case 'A' the symbol will be 64 or 641 as appropriate. The FEATURE WIDTH value will be such that there will be a gap of 0.15 mm between the respective symbols. For example, where a Prohibited Area Boundary Line is coincident with a Road (class = Principal) the FEATURE WIDTH value will be 0.75 (0.15 plus half the width of the principal road symbol (0.45) plus half the width of the Prohibited Area Boundary Line's symbol (0.15)).

In case 'B' the symbol will be 64 or 641 as appropriate. The Feature Width value will be 0.

In case 'C' the symbol will be 0. The Feature Width value will be 0.

The Prohibited area line symbol will not be offset from Reserve line symbols if they are not also coincident with another symbolised linear feature.

Area symbols will be masked for the Prohibited area line verge.

At 1:100 000 a descriptive note may be added on the map where a prohibited area boundary is not displayed because it follows the coastline, for example ' prohibited area boundary follows coastline'.

Water Supply Reserves included in the NPIL database and meeting the size criteria will be shown. Where a named Water Supply Reserve is broken into a number of areas with indentical attributes, each area will be shown regardless of size if the total area of the reserve meets the size criteria. These areas will be merged to form a multi-part polygon.

The Authority classification for reserve areas should not be populated with 'Not Applicable'. All reserves whose authority is not known, should have a authority value of 'Other (not specified)'.
 
Water Supply Reserve features will be named where named in the NPIL database. Where the reserve is only identified by a number only the reserve type will be shown.

Where a Water Supply Reserve surrounds, or is coincident with a waterbody of the same root name, name the waterbody in the Waterbodies feature dataset and provide the generic name 'Water Supply Reserve' in the name field on the Water Supply Reserve feature type.

Water Supply Reserves in Western Australia are to excluded from the NTDBs, the exception will be those Water Supply Reserves, with restricted access, which are used for urban consumption.

Water Supply Reserve features will be bounded by a Reserve Boundary Line feature.

The Water Supply Reserve feature cannot overlap other polygons in the Reserves Feature Class ie. Two differing reserve types cannot share a common polygon area.  

Where the edge of a Reserves (feature type) polygon has a similar shape to another feature, such as the edge of a Prohibited Area polygon, and is within 50 metres at 1: 250 000 and 20 metres at 1:100 000 of the feature, then the relevant section of polygon edge for the Reserve will be coincident with this other feature. Where both features are of similar shape but the distance separating them is greater than 50 metres at 1:250 000 and 20 metres at 1:100 000 the relevant section of polygon edge for the Reserve will be made coincident with the feature if it appears the relevant section of polygon edge for the Reserve should be following the feature. These rules will not apply where two reserves are separated by a road reserve. In such cases the separation between the two boundaries will be maintained.

Where the edge of a Reserves (feature type) polygon has a similar shape to another feature, such as a Road, Watercourse, Railway, Shoreline or WaterbodyBoundaries (except junction and Limit Of Data) and is within 50 metres at 1: 250 000 and 20 metres at 1:100 000 of the feature, then the relevant section of polygon edge for the Reserve will be coincident with this other feature. Where both features are of similar shape but the distance separating them is greater than 50 metres at 1:250 000 and 20 metres at 1:100 000 the relevant section of polygon edge for the Reserve will be made coincident with the feature if it appears the relevant section of polygon edge for the Reserve should be following the feature, for example where the boundary is following a stream line. These rules will not apply where two reserves are separated by a road reserve. In such cases the separation between the two boundaries will be maintained.

Water Supply Reserve features will be named where named in the NPIL database. Where the reserve is only identified by a number only the reserve type will be shown.

Where a Water Supply Reserve surrounds, or is coincident with a waterbody of the same root name, name the waterbody in the Waterbodies cover and do not name the Water Supply Reserve.However a descriptive note 'water supply reserve' should be added in parenthesis following the waterbody name.
