Geodatabase Rules

Forestry Reserves included in the NPIL database and meeting the size criteria will be shown. Where a named Forestry 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)'.
 
Forestry 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.  

Inter-Feature Relationship Rules - Internal to Associated Dataset

Forestry Reserve features will be bounded by a Reserve Boundary Line feature.

The Forestry Reserve 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.

Inter-Feature Relationship Rules - External to Associated Dataset

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.

Map Rules

Reserve - Forestry 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.
