Brief description
This collection contains the data used in the Multi-Criteria Analysis Shell for Spatial Decision Support (MCAS-S) software tool. From the Data menu, explore and download individual supplementary layers, or download the entire datapack. The Multi-Criteria Analysis Shell for Spatial Decision Support (MCAS-S) is a software tool developed by the Australian Bureau of Agricultural and Resource Economics and Sciences that enables multi-criteria analysis (MCA) using spatial data. It is a powerful, easy-to-use and flexible decision-support tool that promotes: - framework for assessing options- common metric for classifying, ranking and weighting of the data
- tools to compare, combine and explore spatial data
- live-update of alternative scenarios and trade-offs.

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.
