The Land Tenure data set contains a representation of the commonly accepted land tenure classifications for Tasmania. Tenure Classifications include Crown Land, Private Land, Local Government and other Statutory Authority Land, Reserved Land, Conservation Covenants, Private Reserves, Permanent Timber Production Zone Land (formerly State Forest). Future Potential Production Forest (FPPF) land is also distinguished where it overlaps Crown and HEC land. This dataset depicts the full extent of classifications and as some or coastal reserve boundaries extend to Low Water Mark, and in some cases include areas of estuary or sea. These classifications generally conform to those represented on the TASMAP Land Tenure Map.

The Tasmanian Reserve Estate dataset is a digital map of the Reserve System for Tasmania. It represents land reserved to be managed for biodiversity conservation under Tasmania's Regional Forest Agreement (RFA) and other instruments. The layer combines data from several sources: LIST Public Land Classification [ANZTA0005000047] Wellington Park LIST Private Reserves [ANZTA0005000004] Protection Zones from Sustainable Timber Tasmania's 1:25 000 Management Decision Classification (MDC) series Land purchased by Private Land Conservation Program (PLCP) for conservation of CAR values not yet proclaimed Indigenous Protected Areas Informal Reserves on public land identified during the Regional Forestry Agreement (RFA) Other private reserves that have been set aside under independently certified forest management systems Future Potential Production Forest Stewardship Agreements Roadside Conservation Sites More information available in Business Rules at https://nre.tas.gov.au/conservation/development-planning-conservation-assessment/planning-tools/tasmanian-reserve-estate-spatial-layer

The Public Land Recreation Area dataset is comprised of all the polygons that represent Public Land Recreation Areas in Alberta. A Public Land Recreation Area is an area of recreation land designated under the authority of Section 179 of the Public Lands Administration Regulation under the Public Lands Act. Public Land Recreation Area was formerly known as Forest Recreation Area under the Forest Recreation Regulation under the Forests Act. No changes to the Forest Recreation Area data layer were made when it was migrated to become the Public Land Recreation Area dataset.

The Tasmanian land use 2015 spatial data set is produced at catchment scale which is undertaken through the Australian Collaborative Land Use and Management Program (ACLUMP) using standards set out in the 'Guidelines for land use mapping in Australia: principals, procedures and definitions, 4th edition 2011' and âAddendum to the Guidelines for land use mapping in Australia: principles, procedures and definition, 4th Editionâ. Land use is classified by its prime use using a hierarchical structure, Australian Land Use and Management Classification (ALUMC) v8, which allows attribution as broad classes to individual commodities. This produces nationally consistent land use mapping to plan for and achieve productive agriculture and prosperous regional communities. Land use information shows how we use the landscape, whether that is for food production, forestry, nature conservation, water storage or urban development. The data set has been derived through spatial analysis of ancillary data sets, interpretation from imagery (Google Earth, State Orthophoto and Landsat composite) and expert knowledge through stakeholder engagements. The development of a modelling process to create the data set allows a repeatable process for future iterations of land use mapping. The land use mapping coverage is available for mixed dates at a scale that varies according to the intensity of land use activities and landscape context. This iteration of land use mapping is for improved biosecurity outcomes to improve biosecurity risk management and emergency disease preparedness through updated land use mapping of horticulture and intensive animal production. Land use mapping is completed to the secondary and tertiary level with commodity information for priority land use classes focusing on dairy grazing, sheds and yards, vineyards, stock aggregation points and nurseries. Australian Land Use and Management Classification (ALUMC) v8 comprises of five primary classes, identified in order of increasing levels of intervention or potential impact on the natural landscape. Water is included separately as a sixth primary class. Primary and secondary levels relate to the principal land use. Tertiary classes may include additional information on commodity groups, specific commodities, land management practices or vegetation information. The primary, secondary and tertiary codes work together to provide increasing levels of detail about the land use. Land may be subject to a number of concurrent land uses. For example, while the main management objective of a multiple-use production forest may be timber production, it may also provide conservation, recreation, grazing and water catchment land uses. In these cases, production forestry is commonly identified in the ALUM code as the prime land use. The primary classes of land use in the ALUM Classification are: 1. Conservation and natural environments - land used primarily for conservation purposes, based on maintaining the essentially natural ecosystems present 2. Production from relatively natural environments - land used mainly for primary production with limited change to the native vegetation 3. Production from dryland agriculture and plantations - land used mainly for primary production based on dryland farming systems 4. Production from irrigated agriculture and plantations - land used mostly for primary production based on irrigated farming 5. Intensive uses - land subject to extensive modification, generally in association with closer residential settlement, commercial or industrial uses 6. Water - water features (water is regarded as an essential aspect of the classification, even though it is primarily a land cover type, not a land use)

LIST Authority Land is a subset of the LIST Cadastral Parcels layer. It portrays parcels of land owned, vested or managed by a Commonwealth, State or Local Government Authority or Government Business Enterprise. Categories include Housing Tasmania, Hydro Tasmania, Councils, Education, Forestry Tasmania, TAS Water, Defense etc. Authority Land attributes are the same as for LIST Cadastral parcels and include the authority name, title reference and property identifier (PID).

This data set shows designated and actual irrigation areas in Australia compiled by the National Land Use Mapping Project of the National Land and Water Resources Audit to assist in the identification of irrigation areas in Australia. Additional data custodians include Agriculture WA, Queensland Department of Natural Resources and Mines, Murray-Darling Basin Commission, New South Wales Department of Land and Water Conservation and Tasmanian Department of Primary Industries, Water and Environment Designated irrigation areas indicate areas with administratively defined boundaries which have associated rights and obligations pertaining to use of water for irrigation. The precise meaning of the term designated irrigation area varies from region to region. aActual irrigation areasa indicate areas with observationally defined boundaries within which irrigation is practised. The boundaries have been supplied by various agencies and cover the more important irrigation areas in Australia. Users of this data set should be aware that there are irrigated areas outside the designated and actual areas shown and that there are non-irrigated areas inside them. This is particularly true of Tasmania and the Murray-Darling Basin.The data set is available in both vector and raster formats. The raster data set can be used as a companion to the 1996/97 Land Use of Australia data set which is also in raster format. Both data sets have the same coordinate system, boundary coordinates and cell size so that they can easily be overlaid. Users may find, however, that some cells are classified as irrigated by the Australian Irrigation Areas data set and as non-agricultural land by the 1996/97 Land Use of Australia data set.The Version 1a data set may be of use to researchers and policy makers in need of national, regional or local scale irrigation data, though the scale of the source material is highly variable and completness of coverage is poor in some regions. See [further metadata](http://data.daff.gov.au/anrdl/metadata_files/pa_aia__r9ab __00211a02.xml) for more detail. Lineage: The data set was constructed in vector format by appending irrigation area boundary data sets supplied by various agencies. The component data sets are listed below. One of the component data sets which was supplied as separate tiles in ArcView shapefile format was assembled into a single shapefile data set in ArcView 3.1. All other processing was carried out in ARC/INFO 7.2.1 under SunOS using double precision coordinates. For all operations in which processing used a fuzzy tolerance, the value specified was 0.00001 degrees (about 1 m). The raster form of the data set was made from the vector form. 1) Ord River Scheme, Stage 1, irrigation area boundaries. This data set was supplied by Agriculture WA in ArcView shapefile format.2) Boundary of Gazetted Irrigation Areas in Queensland. This data set was supplied by the Queensland Department of Natural Resources and Mines in ARC/INFO export file format. It shows designated irrigation areas. The coordinate datum is not known with certainty and was assumed to be the Australian Geodetic Datum 1984.3) Northern Murray-Darling Basin irrigation area boundaries. This data set was supplied by the Murray-Darling Basin Commission in ARC/INFO export file format. It shows actual irrigation areas, based on interpretation of coarse scale imagery derived from Landsat TM images. The data set comprises 11 polygons. Of these, five have not been retained in the national data set because they largely coincide with the much higher resolution polygons of the Northern New South Wales Cotton Development data set. A sixth has not been retained because it proves to be almost entirely covered by a national park and a perennial lake. One of the polygons that was retained was edited to give precedence to a higher resolution polygon in the Boundary of Gazetted Irrigation Areas in Queensland data set which it partly overlies.4) Northern New South Wales Cotton

This dataset categorises the 2020 native vegetation extent mapping by administrative categories relevant to local biodiversity conservation planning. It identifies ‘Local Natural Areas’, various categories of Parks and Wildlife Service managed lands, Regional Parks and Bush Forever. ‘Local Natural Areas’ are the focus of Local Biodiversity Strategies prepared in accordance of the Local Government Biodiversity Planning Guidelines (del Marco et al 2004).

These data provide locational and attribute information for places nominated to and included in the National Heritage List as determined by the Australian Government managed by the Department of the Environment, Wildlife Division. National Heritage List polygons with attribute information describing the place name, class (indigenous, natural, historic), and status. Places subject to confidentiality agreements are included in these data but the location is generalised to the bounding 250k mapsheet. The location data for place nominations that have been rejected, are ineligible, removed or destroyed are not included in the publicly downloadable spatial dataset.
