Land tenure of Australia, Tenure change 2010–11 to 2020–21, Level 3

Abstract This layer shows where changes in land tenure were observed in Australia between 2010–11, 2015–16 and 2020–21 at Level 3 of the hierarchical tenure classification. The data was produced by the Australian Bureau of Agricultural and Resource Economics and Sciences (ABARES) within the Australian Government Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry as part of the Australian Collaborative Land Use and Management Program (ACLUMP).

ABARES is providing this data to the public under a [Creative Commons Attribution 4.0] license. Lineage Statement The data is the combined change from the constructed land tenure datasets for the three time periods. Refer to the data caveat for each time period to track possible issues with this data for reporting change. For more information see the dataset. Note: The Digital Atlas of Australia downloaded and created a copy of the source data in February 2025 that was suitable to be hosted through ArcGIS Image Server & Image Dedicated. A copy of the raster dataset was created with RGB fields as a colour map with Geoprocessing tools in ArcGIS Pro, and the raster dataset was re-projected from 1994 Australia Albers to WGS 1984 Web Mercator (Auxiliary Sphere). Additionally, records that have a -1 value have been removed to improve web mapping performance. This Web Mapping Service is for display purposes only. It is in Web Mercator projection and not suitable for deriving area statistics. For any analyses use the [original dataset] published in Albers projection.
