Data Quality

LineageData sources include field surveys, survey books, aerial photos and GPS. Survey techniques were used to capture the data. The data was captured by Forestry SA, Polygons less than 1.0 ha have been merged with adjacent polygons. The geometry and attribute data is maintained periodically by ForestrySA through standard ArcGIS editing techniques. The spatial layer is supplied through to State Government mapping applications on an annual basis or as requested by Forestry SA
CompletenessApart from Attamurra, Bawdens and Yakkum Downs which are manged by ForestrySA all remaining South East Green Triangle Plantation Forests are Privately managed.
