Data Quality Information

Data Quality Assessment Scope
local : dataset
The MCAS-S datapacks are convenient packages of nationally consistent Australian spatial layers at one-kilometre and five-kilometer resolutions ready for use in MCAS-S. The Datapack is comprised of three types of data: Primary (raster), Mask (raster) and Overlay (vector) data.

Data Quality Assessment Result
local : Quality Result
Australian national map layers have been provided by the Australian Bureau of Agricultural and Resource Economics and Sciences (ABARES), Geoscience Australia, CSIRO Land and Water, the Department of Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities (Environmental Resources Information Network), the Australian Bureau of Statistics, and the National Centre for Social Applications of Geographic Information Systems.
