The Tasmanian Heritage Register LIST layer is a point layer file representing places that are recognised as being of historic cultural heritage significance to the whole of Tasmania. The Register is maintained by the Tasmanian Heritage Council under the Historic Cultural Heritage Act 1995. This layer is a spatial representation of places entered in the Tasmanian Heritage Register, and not a formal version of the Register. For formal confirmation of the status of an entry in the Register please contact Heritage Tasmania. enquiries@heritage.tas.gov.au

The Heritage Sites are subdivided into Final, Provisional and Nominated for Provisional Registration. National and Commonwealth heritage register data are not included in this map, but may be found on the Australian Government Department of the Environment webpage. For the most up to date information on heritage sites contact the ACT Heritage Unit on 13 22 81.

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 Queensland Heritage Register is a list of places of non-indigenous heritage significance in Queensland. This dataset represents the boundaries of places entered in the register that have been approved by the Queensland Heritage Council. Places that are entered in the Queensland Heritage Register are protected under the provisions of the Queensland Heritage Act 1992.

This data set depicts the boundary of the State of Tasmania as defined in the Colonial Acts Confirmation Act, 1894. This is where the state of Tasmania is legally defined for the purpose of federation and the constitution. Tasmanian territory is defined as the land or islands within the bounding rectangle and Macquarie Island. The State Coastal Waters are defined in a series of acts including the Coastal and other Waters (Application of State Laws) Act, 1982 and the Petroleum (Submerged Lands) Act, 1982. The latter act defines the Tasmanian Adjacent Area which is the basis for the definition of the State Coastal Waters. The Adjacent Area id essentially the same as the State Boundary rectangle plus and extension that includes the South Tasman Rise and Macquarie Island. The State Coastal Waters are broadly defined as a 3 nautical mile band of water measured from the low tide mark the area. The data set was created based on Australian Geodetic Datum, 1966 (AGD66) and then transformed to Geocentric Datum of Australia 1994 (GDA94). No datum was specified in the original legal definition it was decided to use the datum specified for the Adjacent Area definition in the Petroleum (submerged Lands) Act, 1982. The data set is currently stored in GDA94 geographicals (ie latitude and longitude).

Spatial data of the boundaries of listed places on the National Heritage List as at 30/06/2016.For more information use the following link: Australian Government Data Portal.

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.

There are currently twenty (20) Australian properties on the World Heritage List . A single Australian World Heritage Areas database has been created by combining data which was historically stored as a separate set of data for each property. World Heritage Area buffer zones are also included in this dataset for relevant properties. The Great Barrier Reef, the Tasmanian Wilderness, the Wet Tropics of Queensland and Shark Bay meet all four World Heritage criteria for natural heritage, with Kakadu National Park, Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park, Willandra Lakes Region and the Tasmanian Wilderness being listed for both natural and cultural criteria. The 2010, 2012 and 2013 extensions to the Tasmanian Wilderness have been incorporated. The Australian Fossil Mammal Sites (Naracoorte/Riversleigh), Lord Howe Island Group, Gondwana Rainforests of Australia, Fraser Island, Macquarie Island, Heard and McDonald Islands, the Greater Blue Mountains Area and Purnululu National Park are listed under the World Heritage criteria for natural heritage. The Royal Exhibition Building and Carlton Gardens, Melbourne were inscribed in the World Heritage List against Cultural criterion (ii): exhibit an important interchange of human values over a span of time or within a cultural area of the world, on developments in architecture or technology, monumental arts, town planning or landscape design. The Sydney Opera House was inscribed in the World Heritage List in 2007 against Cultural criterion (i) (see http://whc.unesco.org/en/criteria ) The Australian Convict Sites was inscribed on the World Heritage List on 31 July 2010. There are 11 sites that make up the World Heritage Australian Convict Sites against Cultural criterion (iv) and (vi). The Ningaloo Coast was inscribed on the World Heritage List in June 2011 against Natural criteria (vii) and (x). The coastline of Queensland was produced under specific contract for Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority (GBRMPA) by AUSLIG in 1984. Originally engineered by AUSLIG from datasets produced by the Division of National Mapping and RAN Hydrographic Service; Queensland coastal information produced by AUSLIG at 250k scale with 100k elements from developing technology at the time of genesis; Island information is specific to the Great Barrier Reef Region as produced from RAN Hydrographic Service data at 100k scale. Updated against satellite imagery during the RAP process (2003-2004) to 25k scale, especially in Cairns, Whitsundays and Hinchinbrook Regions. This coastline is used to represent the coastal boundary of the Great Barrier Reef WHA, and is supplied by GBRMPA Spatial Data Centre.
