Title

Multi Attribute Data - Brunswick River Catchment - Landform and Condition Dataset

Abstract

The multiple attribute mapping process provides a vector based inventory of the landscape in terms of slope, terrain, landuse, vegetation, presence of tree regrowth, tree and shrub canopy density, presence of understorey, soil erosion condition, and rockiness. Mass movement and soil conservation measures are mapped where they exist, as is a selected range of weed species. These characteristics of the land are part of the larger set of characteristics that can be mapped using the NSW Dept. of Land and Water Conservation's full set of attribute codes. This set of codes are termed the Standard Classification for Attributes of Land (SCALD). The value of the attribute mapping is that the data objectively characterises the land and can be used for a range of land uses and land management purposes. This system of mapping maximises the efficiency of GIS operation by describing a number of attributes into one polygon, avoiding problems caused by overlaying of different data sets. Mapping is carried out at 1:25000 scale using base maps from the NSW Land Information Centre medium scale topographic series. Outputs are most useful at the sub-catchment or regional scale but not at property level. The data are extremely valuable at the river basin scale for integrated catchment planning programmes The information can, however, be useful as a first level of information in property planning exercises.

Lineage

Multiple attribute mapping was developed from erosion/land use mapping carried out by DLWC and precursor organisations. It was developed to interact efficiently with GIS's to record a large number of attributes in a single assessment and to simplify the process validation of data during field inspections. Linework is based on aerial photograph interpretation by staff with backgrounds in natural resource assessment. Quality assurance procedures are in place to maintain standards in API, mapping and classification. Mapping was undertaken by Andrew Hamilton and Graeme Short using the following 1:25 000 colour aerial photographs provided by the Land Information Centre, Bathurst: Ballina 1991 Lismore 1991 Murwillumbah 1991 Tweed Heads 1991 Polygons attributed with - slope, terrain, land use, vegetation community, vegetation regeneration, tree and shrub canopy density, presence of understorey, soil erosion, mass movement and soil conservation activity and rockiness. Definitions are based on Australian Standards where applicable or departmental standards elsewhere.Metadata imported.C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\Metadata\ANZMeta\Thesaurus\temp.xml2008021511363400Metadata imported.D:\MultiAttribute_Brunswick.xml2008060409533600Dataset copied.\GRARO\GIS\gisdata_GDA94\NATRES.mdb2008082214553700

DQ Completeness Commission

Effective date

2009-01-10

Explanation

Mapping is complete for the Tweed/Brunswick river catchment areas.Mapping was carried out on 1:25 000 scale topographic maps from 1:25 000 scale aerialphotography. Linear features less than 100 m in length were not represented. No minimumexclusion or inclusion area was set due to the nature of the mapping.Map legends are compact and standardised, carrying only limited descriptive information.Users of the data are urged to consult the Standard Classification for Attributes of Land(SCALD) for a full listing of the categories used and Landscape Assessment Unit staff forassistance with interpretation of the data.

DQ Completeness Omission

Effective date

2009-01-10

DQ Conceptual Consistency

Effective date

1900-01-01

Explanation

Logical consistency tests performed include label errors, overshoots, undershoots, polygonclosures and topological consistency. These tests ensure that all classified polygons areclosed, nodes are formed at the intersection of lines and that there is only one label withineach polygon, etc

DQ Topological Consistency

Effective date

1900-01-01

DQ Absolute External Positional Accuracy

Effective date

1900-01-01

Explanation

The estimated positional accuracy of the linework is between 12.5m and up to 75mdependent on the intensity of pre-existing locational reference data (such as contours andcadasta,etc).

DQ Non Quantitative Attribute Correctness

Effective date

1900-01-01

Explanation

Land characteristics are interpreted from aerial photography (dated between 1993 - 1997)by experienced Landscape Assessment Unit staff using the Standard Classification forAttributes of Land (SCALD), DLWC's standardised set of attribute codes. SCALDdefinitions are based on Australian Standards where applicable or DLWC standardselsewhere. Field verification was carried out to check and correct identification.Standard DLWC edge matching procedures were carried out on all tile joins for allattributes.
