Term Meaning
Abandoned A feature, which is no longer in normal use and is not maintained. Future use is not anticipated, although operations could possibly be resumed after repair. The term is applied to roads, railways and airfields, quarries etc. all of which, although not immediately useable for the original purpose, are still landmark features.
Aboriginal (Indigenous) lands Land set aside for use of Indigenous people, access to which is controlled by Federal or State authorities or by Aboriginal/ Indigenous Land Councils.
Accuracy The degree of conformity with a standard, or the degree of perfection attained in a measurement. Accuracy relates to the quality of a result, and is distinguished from precision, which relates to the quality of the operation by which the result is obtained.

Transverse Mercator projection (TM) A conformal cylindrical map projection, originally devised by Gauss, also known as the Gauss-Kruaer projection. As its name implies its construction is on the same principle as the Mercator projection, the only difference being that the great circle of tangency is now any nominated meridian. Meridians and parallels are curved lines, except for the central meridian or a specified zone (meridian of tangency), which remains a straight line. Projection zones are established about the central meridian and vary in width from two degrees to six degrees of longitude, with some overlap between zones.
Properties:
Scale:
Scale is true along the central meridian, but enlarges away from the central meridian.
Conformality:
The projection is conformal; meridians and parallels intersect at right angles and all angles are correctly represented.
Sheet fit:
Map sheets at the same scale and within the same zone with the same central meridian fit perfectly along their sheet edges.
General:
The amount of scale distortion may become unacceptable at distances greater than about 1.5 degrees in longitude from the central meridian. In a modified form the projection is in general use for topographic mapping at scales of 1:250 000 and larger. See UNIVERSAL TRANSVERSE MERCATOR.
