Title

DEPI Land and Fire District Boundary Lines 

Alternate title

LF_DISTRICT_LINE 

Purpose

This line layer is for cartographic use and for determining broad categories of boundary types, eg Murray River, coastline, state border. The polygon layer LF_DISTRICT is the key layer for departmental activities that require Fire District Boundaries.

Supplemental Information

History: The forest management boundaries coverages (FORMB100) were copied, and the relevant arcs that formed fire district boundaries were highlighted and put into FIREDIST100. Roughly 80% of FIREDIST100 arcs came from FORMB100. The remainder of the arcs were copied from ROAD100, HYDRO100, LANDMMT100 and LGA100. There were also a few arcs that were digitised from the maps provided by Fire Suppression Section. Minimal processing was performed on FIREDIST100. Clean was avoided at all costs. (Greg Esnouf / Lisa Kollmorgan , Fire Suppression Section Hugo Caro, NRS) Relationship to other Datasets: The layer FIREDIST100 has been derived from ROAD100, HYDRO100, LANDMMT100, LGA100 and FORMB100 layers. Though a large percentage (~80%) of the fire district boundaries come from the forest management boundary coverages (FORMB100), if the forest management boundaries alter this will not require a subsequent edit FIREDIST100 Current Design Issues: This layer indicates boundaries of the Fire Districts.

Statement

Dataset Source: Maps detailing the fire district boundaries were provided by Fire Suppression Section of Fire management Branch. If the boundary follows a stream, road, land management, local government area or forest management boundary, then those arcs were copied from those layers. Dataset Originality: Primary & Derived 

Description

Collection Method: Maps 

Description

Clean up of former boundaries to fix errors in the West and merging of two sets of two boundaries in the East.
