Title

Apiary Buffer Zones 

Alternate title

APIARY_BUFF 

Purpose

This layer is derived from the APIARY layer and defines a buffer zone around apiary sites as defined in the RADIUS field (800m for temporary sites, 1600m for permanent sites). This layer is created each time the APIARY layer is updated and all fields from the APIARY layer are maintained. This layer includes all apiary licence sites, including Bee farm and Range licences and Temporary Apiary rights, as defined by Crown Land Management (CLM). There are a number of sites that may NOT be recorded in this layer because they do not have a valid "Tenure-ID" to assign to the site. Please view the APIARY metadata for more details on quality checks for Apiary sites. The Tenure ID is a unique identifier, and the Tenure code determines the particular type of licence and what particular Act the licence falls under. The SITE_WC field is the Site number and the Workcentre number used in Gippsland. The ZONE field relates to the Zoning information (1-5) for Apiary Management Plans in Gippsland. 

Supplemental Information

Relationship to other Datasets: With the nature of Apiaries being an 800 or 1600m radius, they can be covering one parcel or many parcels. Related Documents: None

Statement

Dataset Source: This layer is derived entirely from the APIARY layer by buffering the points based on the RADIUS field. All fields are maintained from the APIARY layer and no further information is added to the attribute data. Please see metadata for APIARY for further information on the sourcing of APIARY sites. Dataset Originality: Derived 

Classification

Unclassified  

Attribute Quality

Comments

All attributes in the PAT for apiary licences have been verified as correct. 

Positional Accuracy

Comments

The precision accuracy for the apiary sites is +/- 25m. As a derived layer, the apiary buffer zones is consistent with this accuracy. 

Conceptual Consistency

Missing Data

Comments

This dataset is complete in that it is derived from the APIARY layer. The APIARY layer is also deemed complete in so far as only valid Apiary sites that have a current "Tenure-ID" assigned to them are recorded in this layer. Some Vacant sites are not recorded because they do not have a Tenure-ID and are not currently invoiced through Portal. Completeness Verification: Please see the metadata for APIARY for further information about quality and completeness of the APIARY layer.
