Custodian: Department of Infrastructure, Planning and Natural Resources (DIPNR)

Jurisdiction: New South Wales

Description

Abstract:

The Catchment Management Authority (CMA) areas of operation consists of polygons derived mainly from catchment boundaries. The dataset shows the location of the CMAs within NSW.

ANZLIC search words:

• BOUNDARIES Administrative

Spatial domain:

Geographic extent name:

NEW SOUTH WALES - NSW - State or Territory - New South Wales

Note: The format for each Geographic extent name is: Name - Identifier - Category - Jurisdiction (as appropriate)

Geographic bounding box:
The bounding box encloses the maximum extents of the dataset. There may be voids or gaps within the bounding box, depending on the defined coverage of the dataset. Outer bounding rectangle as Latitude/Longitude coordinates based on the WGS84 datum (expressed as both Degrees Minutes Seconds and as decimal Degrees):

• North bounding latitude: 28 00 00.0 S (-28.0)
• South bounding latitude: 37 30 00.0 S (-37.5)
• East bounding longitude: 154 00 00.0 E (154.0)
• West bounding longitude: 141 00 00.0 E (141.0)

Lineage:

Boundaries compiled from digital subcatchment boundaries that were created for the Stressed Rivers Assessment, where they follow catchments and from DCDB coincident LGA boundaries.

Positional accuracy:

DCDB coincident and best available topographic mapping scale.

Attribute accuracy:

Polygons are attributed with the CMA name. All names are checked.

Logical consistency:

All polygons are valid and the attributes correct.

Completeness:

All gazetted CMAs are included in the dataset. All polygons are attributed
