Registered Aboriginal Parties (RAP) Appointed Boundaries
dataset:
RAP
This data set contains polygon boundaries for Registered Aboriginal Parties (RAPs) that have been recognised under the Victorian Aboriginal Heritage Act 2006 (the Act) "as the primary guardians, keepers and knowledge holders of Aboriginal cultural heritage". These boundaries have been determined by Aboriginal communities and registered by the Victorian Aboriginal Heritage Council (VAHC). Initial verbal descriptions and/or hand drawn maps were provided by Aboriginal communities of their RAP boundaries and then digitised by OAAV GIS staff using ArcGIS Desktop. The digitised boundaries were approved by the RAP applicant and the VAHC prior to the RAP applicant being appointed.
The descriptions and/or maps provided by the Aboriginal communities were also transcribed by OAAV GIS staff and a written boundary description produced.

- Statement
- Dataset Source: Data used to generate these boundaries were initially sourced from information received from Aboriginal communities and then digitised using the following data sources: Road & river centrelines data based on VicMap Transport and Hydro data products (1:25,000). Contour line and spot height point data based on VicMap Elevation data product (1:25,000). State border data based on VicMap Index data product (1:500,000). 3 nautical mile boundary determined from Vic 3nm Limit vector data (1:25,000) sourced from Data.Vic website. Park boundaries based on PK_PARKRES (Parks and Conservation Reserves) vector data (1:2,500 to 1:100,000) sourced from Data.Vic website. Melbourne Water Drainage Catchments, Major Catchments and Primary Catchment boundaries sourced from Melbourne Water. National Native Title Tribunal digital data sourced from nntt.gov.au website. Dataset Originality: Primary & Derived
- Description
- Collection Method: Matching to digital topographic and infrastructure data
- Description
- The RAP boundaries have been derived from verbal information received from Aboriginal communities and hand drawn boundaries on various mapping media. The RAP boundaries dataset was digitised using ArcGIS Desktop editing tools, mainly by tracing along roads, rivers, state boundary, water catchments, lakes and park boundaries. Interpretation of spot height and contour data was also used in determining boundaries.
Metadata Constraints

- Unclassified
Quality
Attribute Quality
- Comments
- 100% complete. Name and contact details have been obtained from the VAHC and are accurate to date of publishing.
Positional Accuracy
- Comments
- To be determined. RAP boundaries were delineated from 1:25,000 VicMap data and other data where the scale and accuracy is not known.
Conceptual Consistency
- Comments
- The dataset has been visually checked. All polygons have either been closed using ArcToolbox within ArcGIS, or its topology corrected when imported into ArcSDE.
Missing Data
- Comments
- In progress. Completeness Verification: Matched against 1:100,000 map series roads and topographic features used to define boundaries as listed in Schedule IIA of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Heritage Protection Act (1984).
