Relief

Line

A line augmenting relief presentation where significant topographic features are not shown by the prescribed contour interval. The line represents an imaginary line on the ground joining points of equal elevation in relation to the Australian Height Datum.

Geodatabase Rules

Auxiliary Contours will be reclassified as connector standard where they cross Waterbodies such as Watercourse Areas, Salt Evaporators, Settling Ponds, Aquaculture Areas, Canal Areas and Rapid Areas. No gap should exist between the auxiliary contour and the connector standard feature in these cases.

Auxilary Contour heights must not represent any multiple of the standard 20m contour interval at 1:100 000.

Auxilary Contours will not be used to represent depressions.

Inter-Feature Relationship Rules - Internal to Associated Dataset

Contours of different height must not touch each other. No contour can cross itself or another contour.

No auxilary contour can cross itself, another auxilary contour or other entities in the contours feature class.

Spot elevations must not contradict Auxilary contours.  

Inter-Feature Relationship Rules - External to Associated Dataset

Auxilary Contours cannot fall over Sea, Lake perennial, Flood Irrigation Storage and Town Rural Storage or Mine Area.

Survey Marks must not contradict Auxilary contours.  

Map Rules

All Auxiliary Contours will be labelled with their elevation, where space permits.

Auxiliary Contours will be masked by Built Up Areas.
