Australia Land Tenure 1993 contains boundaries and attribute information on public and private land tenure, including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander lands vested in communities or equivalent bodies. It has been derived from Geoscience Australia's National Public and Aboriginal Lands (NPAL) data which has been sourced from government gazette notices, cadastral maps and plans.

It provides a fundamental base layer of geographic information on which you can build a wide range of applications. This data is primarily suited to State-wide and national applications.

Data quality

Lineage:

Data was primarily sourced from Geoscience Australia's National Public and Aboriginal Lands data which contains data from State and Commonwealth Government gazettes. The Commonwealth Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Commission and State Government departments provided information on Aboriginal lands not gazetted. Other information was obtained from published maps and Geoscience Australia's National Topographic Mapping Series (NTMS).

Positional accuracy:

The source material used to derive the land tenure data complies with the following statement of positional accuracy: 'Not more than 10% of well-defined points shall be in error of more than 125 metres.'

Attribute accuracy:

For this product, attribute accuracy is a measure of the degree to which the attribute values of the features agree with information from the source material. The allowable error is 1%.

Logical Consistency:

Logical consistency checking included tests to check that table and file names were consistent with the data dictionary. Graphical tests to check intersections, polygon closure, minimum sizes of polygons and topological relationships. The allowable error of logical consistency ranges from 0.5% to 5%.

Completeness:

Data completeness has been checked through comparison against State/Territory listings for nature conservation reserves, forestry, and Aboriginal reserves.
