Data Quality

LineageThis dataset was derived by combining a number of datasets. Firstly, the 1956 floodline was buffered to 500m. This was then combined with the River Murray Tributary Zone and the cadastre. A hardcopy map was then produced and the new boundary was interpreted and hand-drawn onto this map with the new boundary following the cadastre. This hand-drawn boundary was then converted INTO a digital boundary via on-screen digitisation.
CompletenessThe dataset has been completed and filed with the Lands Titles Office. Irregular and periodical modifications are expected.
Positional AccuracyAs this dataset shares its extent with the cadastre, it is expected to have the same positional accuracy as the DCDB in this region (ie approximately +- 10m).
