The depiction of zoning as defined in a statutory reserve management plan that has been declared under the National Parks and Reserves Management Act 2002 where PWS is the managing authority. Does not include zoning from the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area (TWWWHA). A core function of a management plan is to establish zoning, in order to guide use and development. The integrity of the zone descriptors from the management plan are retained, with legend classes matching current zoning descriptors from the PWS Reserve Management Zoning Policy. Three types of zoning exist in this layer. Statutory zoning as defined in the management plan, draft zoning for a management plan in development and prescriptive zoning where additions to a reserve post-date the management plan. Attached are the business rules that have been adopted for the depiction of the zoning. Statutory zoning closely matches the zone descriptors in the management plan. Prescriptive and draft zoning adheres to the business rules adopted for the creation of the General Plan Reserves Zones with input from professional staff. Links to the business rules and policy documents can be found below. This also includes descriptions and intent of the zone categories.

The depiction of zones as defined under the PWS Management Zoning Policy for reserves where PWS is the managing authority and a statutory management plan is not in place. PWS manages over 800 reserves reserved under the Nature Conservation Act 2002 and managed under the National Parks and Reserves Management Act 2002. While statutory management plans have been prepared for most of the national parks and higher use reserves, many reserves do not have a plan to guide their management. The General Plan for reserves and associated zoning seeks to provide that guidance and direction. A core function of management plans is to establish zoning, in order to guide use and development. The zones in this dataset comply with the requirements of the PWS General Plan for Reserves, as well as the PWS Zoning Policy. As per the PWS Zoning Policy, the zone categories include; Visitor Services, Utilities, Recreation, Protection and Natural. The creation of interim zones was a computer generated process underpinned by the input and analysis of spatial data and then interpretation and refinement of the zone boundaries by professional staff to produce the final zones in the GIS. Input spatial data was sourced from the PWS GIS and Asset Management Systems, DPIPWE Natural and Cultural Heritage Divisions, Natural Values Atlas, Mineral Resources Tasmania and Land Tasmania's The LIST. Business rules were documented to guide PWS staff on which spatial datasets are sourced and how they are utilized in the zoning process to create each of the zone boundaries. This process has been encapsulated into a series of ArcGIS models that are executed on a desktop GIS. The models have been documented into technical business rules to guide GIS staff to rerun the model if required, eg. when source data substantially changes.
