The dataset is used by the Department of Water and Environmental Regulation in administering clearing licence applications, policy decision making and for providing advice. The catchments depicted were proclaimed 1976-1978 and became subject to clearing controls where land owners and occupiers could not clear native vegetation on their property unless authorised under a CAWSA Licence to Clear. The "Clearing Control Catchments - CAWSA" dataset also shows Zones of salinity risk in the controlled catchments where Zone A is the highest salinity risk and Zone D the lowest. These zones were used to determine where, in the administration of clearing controls, some limited clearing may be granted in areas of lower salinity risk. Since the advent of Environmental Protection Act 1986 (EP Act) clearing regulations in 2004, native vegetation clearing proponents state-wide must obtain an EP Act Permit before undertaking any clearing. Landowners and occupiers of CAWSA compensated land and those exempt from the need for an EP Act clearing Permit are however still required to obtain a CAWSA Licence to Clear.

WFS allows a user to download and spatially analyse the features within a datset. This service is aimed at advanced geographical information users, and will require access to geographical information system (GIS) software such as QGIS and ArcGIS. WFS ArcGIS Server Map Service documentDigital An ArcGIS Server Map Service offers access to a geographic dataset - such as a map or imagery - by providing a set of tiled images for use in web-based maps. Depending on the capabilities enabled, this web service may also allow a client to dynamically draw, search, and query its features.
