Gloucester Hydrological Divide v02

## **Abstract** 

The dataset was derived by the Bioregional Assessment Programme from the Subcatchment boundaries within and nearby the Gloucester subregion dataset. The source dataset is identified in the Lineage field in this metadata statement. The processes undertaken to produce this derived dataset are described in the History field in this metadata statement.



The dataset is a shapefile consisting of a poly line feature indicating the surface water divide within the valley that makes up the Gloucester subregion. Surface water north of this divide flows north into the Gloucester River system and surface water south of the divide flows south into the Karuah river systerm. Used for cartographic purposes only.



This line is a generalisation of the the section of the boundary between the Manning (incl Gloucester) and Karuah River catchments as depicted in the 9 sec DEM derived catchments layer (see lineage)

## **Dataset History** 

This line was digitised off the screen using the 9 sec DEM derived catchment layer as a back drop. The line polyline was drawn freehand tracing a generalised and more aesthetically pleasing line based on the "sawtooth" boundary depicted in source catchment data. The extent is confined to the Gloucester valley.

GLO Catchments Water Source Boundaries

## **Abstract** 

The dataset was derived by the Bioregional Assessment Programme. This dataset was derived from a NSW Office of Water dataset. You can find a link to the parent dataset in the Lineage Field in this metadata statement. The History Field in this metadata statement describes how this dataset was derived.



This polygon dataset shows the Water Source Area boundaries for the Catchment areas that intersect with the Gloucester subregion. Boundaries were extracted from the NSW Water Sharing Plan (WSP) database (see lineage), and dissolved on the "WATER_SOURCE" field.

## **Dataset History** 

Polygons from the data set "NSW Office of Water combined geodatabase of regulated rivers and water sharing plan regions" were selected based on their intersection with river catchments intersected with the Gloucester subregion boundary. These selected polygons were then DISSOLVEd on the "WATER_SOURCE" field. The Fields "Basin" and "Map_Label" were added and attributed as required to facilitate selective map display, symbology, labeling etc. for report maps images.

Cartographic masks for map products GIP 111

## **Abstract** 

This dataset was created within the Bioregional Assessment Programme for cartographic purposes. Data has not been derived from any source datasets. Metadata has been compiled by the Bioregional Assessment Programme. The processes undertaken to produce this dataset are described in the History field in this metadata statement.



The dataset cartographic masks for use in cartographic outputs in the Gippsland Basin bioregion product 1.1.1.

## **Purpose** 

Cartographic masks for map products GIP 111, used for clear annotation and masking unwanted features from report maps.

## **Dataset History** 

A shapefile was created for the use of masking data to highlight text.



Method:



\*         A new polygon shapefile was created with no content

\*         The shapefile was then populated in an ArcMap editing session by digitizing polygons which surround text.

\*         ArcMAP's Advanced Drawing Option was then used to mask data behind text.

Extent of Coal Measures within the Morwell Formation

## **Abstract** 

The dataset was derived by the Bioregional Assessment Programme from multiple source datasets. The source datasets are identified in the Lineage field in this metadata statement. The processes undertaken to produce this derived dataset are described in the History field in this metadata statement. 



This is a shapefile of the generalised spatial extent of coal measures within the Morwell Formation. It has been derived from the Morwell Formation Coal Seam contour data in the Latrobe Valley Coal Resources dataset (GUID: d994a979-9224-4540-986d-d123de2fb459). You can find a link to the parent datasets in the Lineage Field in this metadata statement. The History Field in this metadata statement describes how this dataset was derived.

## **Purpose** 

The intention of this shapefile is to indicate the zone of interupted aquifer connectivity in the vicinity of the Morwell Formation. The coal seams act as aquitards and so vertical groundwater connectivity between aquifers overlying and underlying the Morwell Formation stratigraphic sequence is expected to be interupted by the presence of these aquitards.

## **Dataset History** 

Digitised, general extent of all the Morwell Formation Coal Seam layers from the Latrobe Valley Coal Resources dataset (GUID: d994a979-9224-4540-986d-d123de2fb459):

Further edits were made based on Morwell_coal_200k polygon drawn from all Morwell coal seam contours from the Latrobe Valley Coal Resources dataset. The northern and eastern boundaries were altered to reflect the estimated extent of the formation (original polygon is abruptly cut to the Latrobe Valley Coal Resources boundary). The estimated extent was based on Figure 10.27 of Holdgate, G. R. and S. J. Gallagher (2003). Tertiary: a period of transition to marine basin environments. Geology of Victoria. W. D. Birch, (Eds.) Geological Society of Australia Special Publication 23. Geological Society of Australia (Victoria Division). The extent was also checked against stratigraphic picks from petroleum well completion reports Rosedale 1 and Toongabbie 18 south (download from Geoscience Australia Petroleum Well Database http://dbforms.ga.gov.au/www/npm.well.search).

Spatial Data Conversion of the Atlas of Australian Soils to the Australian Soil Classification v01

## **Abstract** 

This dataset was derived by the Bioregional Assessment Programme. You can find a link to the parent datasets in the Lineage Field in this metadata statement. The History Field in this metadata statement describes how this dataset was derived.



This dataset converts the original Digital Atlas of Australian Soils (GUID: 9e7d2f5b-ff51-4f0f-898a-a55be8837828) shapefile into the Australian soil classification, as per data from Conversion of the Atlas of Australian Soils to the Australian Soil Classification (GUID: 295707d5-2774-4ca5-a539-6c0426bbd662). A Layer file is also supplied using the RGB colour reference table, also found in the Conversion of the Atlas of Australian Soils to the Australian Soil Classification dataset.

## **Purpose** 

Provides a spatial and cartographic representation of the Digital Atlas of Australian Soils shapefile into the new Australian soil classification.

## **Dataset History** 

From the Conversion of the Atlas of Australian Soils to the Australian Soil Classification dataset (GUID: 295707d5-2774-4ca5-a539-6c0426bbd662) the file asclut.txt was converted to .csv format and field headings added (MAP_UNIT, SOIL_CODE, SOIL_SYMBOL, SOIL).



This csv file (asclut.csv) was joined to the Digital Atlas of Australian Soils (GUID: 9e7d2f5b-ff51-4f0f-898a-a55be8837828), soilAtlas2M shapefile on the common 'MAP_UNIT' field. The resulting join was saved as 'soilAtlas2M_ASC_Conversion.shp'



The symbology of this shapefile was updated by matching the RGB values provided in the 'asc_colours.xls' spreadsheet from the Conversion of the Atlas of Australian Soils to the Australian Soil Classification dataset (GUID: 295707d5-2774-4ca5-a539-6c0426bbd662) to the 'SOIL' field. A Layer File was created 'soilAtlas2M_ASC_Conversion.lyr'
