Catchment Management Authority boundaries

dataset: CMA100
This layer represents the Catchment Management Authority boundaries (derived from CALP100). It is indicative and should not be used for operational decisions about funding. The Catchment Management Authorities (CMAs) were established on 1 July 1997 with the aim of creating a whole of catchment approach to natural resource management in the state. The new CMAs combined the roles of the former, River Management Boards and Catchment and Land Protection Boards, and community based advisory groups such as salinity plan implementation groups and water quality working groups. Port Phillip has also recently become a CMA. 2014 correction on the West Gippsland and East Gippsland CMA border around the Gippsland Lakes. It is accurate to +/- 100 metres for 80% of the time.

Description

Title
Catchment Management Authority boundaries 
Alternate title
CMA100 
Purpose
This dataset broadly identifies the Catchment Management Authority (CMA) boundaries. The definition of these administrative / cultural boundaries was required for legal process (definition of jurisdiction). The boundaries can be used to subset other natural resource datasets, the boundaries are accurate to +/-100 metres for 80% of all boundaries. The data should not be used to allocate funding to a particular CMA, based on a project is in or out of a particular CMA. 2014 correction on the West Gippsland and East Gippsland CMA border around the Gippsland Lakes

Lineage

Statement
Dataset Source: The internal boundaries were largely derived from the LandCare boundaries coverage (a Centre for Land Protection Research coverage) that was primarily based on River basin boundaries. If the boundaries were not co-incident other sources were used such as 1:100,000 roads (ROAD100), and land management boundaries (LANDMMT100).The state boundary was derived from 1:100,000 hydrology (HYDRO100) and land management (LANDMMT100). The edits for the North East and East Gippsland boundaries were done by LICS Pty Ltd and then passed onto to CLPR.The changes were signed off by the minister 28/11/00. Dataset Originality: Primary
