Lineage
Maintenance and Update Frequency: asNeeded
Statement: Data supplied from the commonwealth, states and territories are passed through Feature Manipulation Engine (FME) workbenche(s) to standardise the datum to GDA2020 (EPSG:4844), perform base geometry validation and transform the attribute values to the national schema. No spatial modification has taken place with the source data, the attributes have been translated into the national specification. Educational buildings have ONLY been loaded for QLD, NSW, VIC and TAS due to licensing limitations with other states.
