Landmark area features will only be used for man made entities or areas defined by man for a specific use which are clearly identifiable either through signage or infrastructure.

Landmark area features will not be used to duplicate or clone entities covered by another feature class, for example recreation area, administration areas, but may be used to provide a spatial link between numerous feature classes comprising a cohesive complex. They represent the area extent of a feature or complex not just its component parts, e.g. The 'Agricultural Production' feature type will represent the boundary of the agricultural activities, not just the farm buildings (represented in building points/area feature classes), fencing complexes and storage facilities (represented as silos, storage tanks and water tanks, etc).

The 'Agricultural Production' feature type includes the following (or any other feature specified by Geoscience Australia through a special instruction or action request):

cotton gin, seasonal agricultural facilities

The above list should be used as the acceptable description field entries, additional entries may be provided by Geoscience Australia.

Only seasonal Cotton Gins should be represented as Landmark Areas and will be attributed with a Text Note of 'seasonal'.

Temporary greenhouses should be represented as Landmark Areas with the description of 'seasonal agricultural facilities' and Text Note of 'greenhouses seasonal'

All cemeteries will be represented in the Base Material/digital data either as a Cemetery Area or as a Cemetery Point.

All features less than 1406 sq m will be shown as a Cemetery Point.

The point representing the feature is to be placed within the bounds of the cemetery.

For existing features between 1406 sq m and the applicable Data Capture And Map Representation minimum size criteria will be retained in the same geometry as captured in the base material/digital data (e.g. Cemetery Area or Cemetery Point).

New features less than the applicable Data Capture And Map Representation minimum size criteria for Cemetery Area will be captured as a Cemetery Point, unless otherwise directed. New or Revised features greater than the applicable Data Capture And Map Representation minimum size criteria for Cemetery Area will be captured as a Cemetery Area.

Where inclusion of a cemetery point would result in clutter they are to be given an appropriate symbol of 2 - Point No Draw.

Pet cemeteries may be captured as a cemetery point if it meets the applicable inclusion/data capture size criteria.

A crematorium with associated land for the internment of ashes will be captured either as a Cemetery Area or as a Cemetery Point (with a textnote of 'crematorium' unless the word 'crematorium' is included in the name) when it meets the applicable inclusion/data capture size criteria. Where a crematorium has no associated land it will be captured/maintained as a Building feature only.

When assigning Upperscale values for Cemetery Points, the following should be considered:

• The presence and existence of cemeteries is relatively stable over decades.
• Guidance on the selection of cemetery points shown can be taken from the previous scale digital/paper map products of the applicable scale. This should be conducted while taking into account any significant changes in a regions population growth or decline, underlying infrastructure or industry change which may impact the importance of an entities potential for recognition or landmark value (including history of area).
• Cemeteries close and visible from roads are generally noted by travellers and therefore these can act as a good landmark feature. However their impact as a landmark becomes greater the further they are away from highly populated centres.
• Cemetery Area features will be given precedence over Cemetery Points.

Size and any other selection criteria apply to all feature occurrences.

Recreation Areas will be named, when known, in the base or reference material. Commercial names will not be included (eg Peter Pans Caravan Park, Telstra Stadium, Etihad Stadium).

Recreation Areas will usually occur surrounded by Built Up Areas. They may also be isolated polygons outside the built up area.

Recreation Areas should not be confused with the Nature Conservation Reserve feature.

Recreation Areas may overlap polygons in the Waterbodies feature dataset. Waterbodies fully included in recreation areas will be considered part of the recreation area. These waterbodies will also be shown in the waterbodies feature dataset.

Where different types of RecreationAreas existing within base material adjoin one another, each area which meets or exceeds the minimum size for inclusion will be shown as a separate polygon and attributed accordingly. Adjoining areas not meeting the minimum 'inclusion' criteria to show separately but which together create an area at or above the minimum size for inclusion will be shown as a single polygon.

When capturing a new feature from reference material, each area which meets or exceeds the minimum size for data capture will be shown as a separate polygon and attributed accordingly. Adjoining areas not meeting the minimum data capture criteria to show separately but which together create an area at or above the minimum size for data capture will be shown as a single polygon.

Recreation Areas (Feature Class) adjacent, or within, school grounds will still be captured as long as they meet the definition of the applicable Recreation feature type and associated size criteria (e.g. oval, miscellaneous area (tennis courts)).

Recreation Areas are to have an accompanying textnote eg 'civic square' unless the words 'civic square' etc are included in the name. 'Miscellaneous Area', 'Multiple Use' and 'other' will not be used as descriptive labels.

When utilising Map Representation size criteria as part of the determination of the Upperscale values, when the sum of all adjoining RecreationAreas feature class polygon areas meets, or exceeds, the map representation size criterion then all component parts will be considered eligible for that scale.

When assigning an SYMBOL100K or SYMBOL250K value, one of the following will apply:

• The polygon meets or exceeds the map representation size criteria for the appropriate scale - 3576 Recreation Area
• The polygon is below the minimum size for map representation, but when considered with adjoining recreation area feature class polygons, the sum total of the adjoining areas meets or exceeds the map representation size criteria for the appropriate scale - 3576 Recreation Area
• The polygon is below the minimum size for map representation (including when considered with adjoining recreation areas feature class polygon) and is fully surrounded by Built Up Area with the equivalent or smaller scale (larger area) Upperscale Value - 419 Built Up Area
• The polygon is below the minimum size for map representation (including when considered with adjoining recreation areas feature class polygon) and is not fully surrounded by Built Up Area with the equivalent or smaller scale (larger area) Upperscale Value - 3 Polygon No Draw

Recreation Areas will be named where they are considered to be of national cultural or historical significance. E.g. Melbourne Botanical Gardens, Taronga Zoo.

Recreation Areas are to have an accompanying descriptive note eg 'golf course', 'showgrounds' unless the words 'golf course', 'showgrounds' etc are included in the name. 'Miscellaneous Area', 'Multiple Use' and 'other' will not be used as descriptive labels.

In areas where there are a number of recreation areas and other detail the labels may be dropped to avoid clutter. In such cases preference will be given to showing labels on the following types of recreation area in descending order.

Recreation Areas of national cultural or historical significance
Rifle range
showground
racecourse
golf course
oval
All other categories

Polygons in the Waterbodies feature dataset will mask Recreation Areas (Feature Class).

Recreation Areas (Feature Class) will mask Pipelines and Powerlines.

General - All Scales

Size and any other selection criteria apply to new feature occurrences.

Dams Walls will not be shown where the associated water storage is shown as a Water tank or Dam feature.

Dam Walls not shown to scale on the latest previous edition map will be captured at the minimum data capture size for the applicable scale.

Dam Wall features will be associated with a spillway feature where the spillway is behind the wall or separated from it and meets other selection criteria for spillways. Where excess water overtops the dam wall along all or most of its length a spillway will not be shown e.g. Hume Dam or Scrivener Dam (see Spillway).

In densely and moderately settled regions as defined by Appendix C where a 'Dam Wall' meets the minimum size criteria, the attached reservoir should be shown regardless of whether or not it is below the minimum size criteria for reservoirs. If a reservoir no longer exists (ie. Filled with sediment) then the dam wall will not be shown.
Where a spillway feature is not included (see Spillway), the reservoir connector and watercourse or watercourse connector will meet node to node at the dam.

For a Dam Wall to be given an Upperscale of 1,000,000 it must conform to one of the following:
- Exist on the previous edition 1:1 000 000 WAC and have a length greater than 500 m
- Registered on the Large Dam register and have a length greater than 500 m
- Be requested by Airservices Australia to be included on the chart regardless of length criteria.

For dam walls coincident with roads and meeting the map representation size criteria, feature width values assigned in the symbol representations should reflect the associated road classifications see Feature Width Meaning for more details.

General - All Scales

Where a Dam Wall crosses a Watercourse Area, the upstream portion should be treated as a Reservoir feature. The reservoir will be from the dam wall upstream encompassing the static water extent of the waterbody at its full holding capacity.

Dam Walls that carry roads across them will be a clone of the equivalent section of the associated Road. There must be a vertex in the Road feature at the exact location of the start and end points of the Dam Wall. The road must continue outwards from both endpoints of the Dam Wall.

Dam Walls should be coincident with the high water mark of the reservoir for the portion of the water boundary for which the dam wall creates a barrier. The dam wall may extend beyond the boundary of reservoir where imagery confirms this is the case.

Dam Walls cannot cross any feature in the Drainage feature dataset (except Spillway, Watercourse and connectors) or Roads and Railways.

Dams cannot appear in the following;
Sea, Lake, Canal Area, WatercourseAreas (feature class) and BuildingsAreas (feature class).

General - All Scales

If a dam wall and its associated reservoir have the same name, then:
- where the name of the reservoir can be placed on the map face in a cartographically acceptable manner the associated dam wall name will not be included but a descriptive note e.g. 'dam', 'weir' will be added where space permits.
- where the reservoir name can not be placed on the map face in a cartographically acceptable manner then the waterbody feature will remain unnamed but its associated dam wall would be named, where the name is known. It should also have an accompanying descriptive note e.g. 'dam', 'weir' unless the word 'dam', 'weir' is included in the name.

General - All Scales

Size and any other selection criteria apply to all feature occurrences.

Landmark area features will only be used for man made entities or areas defined by man for a specific use which are clearly identifiable either through signage or infrastructure.

Landmark area features will not be used to duplicate or clone entities covered by another feature class, for example recreation area, administration areas, but may be used to provide a spatial link between numerous feature classes comprising a cohesive complex. They represent the area extent of a feature or complex not just its component parts, e.g. Education Facility will represent the boundary of the school lands, not just the school buildings (also represented in building points/area), ovals and tennis courts (also represented as recreation areas) and the miscellaneous land not designated for any specific purpose but still owned by the school.

Landmark area features include the following (or any other feature specified by Geoscience Australia through a special instruction or action request):

academy, community education college, kindergarten or preschool, primary and secondary school, primary school, secondary school, special needs school, technical college, tertiary institution

The above list should be used as the acceptable description field entries however additional entries may be provided by Geoscience Australia.

When an Educational Institution comprises of multiple campuses, each campus will be captured separately (ie not as a multi-part polygon) and the size criteria will apply to each separate campus. However, each campus will be given the name of the primary Educational Institution only (eg 'The University of Melbourne' as opposed to 'The University of Melbourne Shepparton Campus')

Recreation Areas will usually occur surrounded by built up areas. They may also be isolated polygons outside the built up area.

Recreation Areas should not be confused with the Nature Conservation Reserve feature.

Recreation Areas may overlap polygons in the Waterbodies feature dataset. Waterbodies fully included in recreation areas will be considered part of the recreation area. These waterbodies will also be shown in the waterbodies layer.

Where different types of RecreationAreas existing within base material adjoin one another, each area which meets or exceeds the minimum size for inclusion will be shown as a separate polygon and attributed accordingly. Adjoining areas not meeting the minimum 'inclusion' criteria to show separately but which together create an area at or above the minimum size for inclusion will be shown as a single polygon.

When capturing a new feature from reference material, each area which meets or exceeds the minimum size for data capture will be shown as a separate polygon and attributed accordingly. Adjoining areas not meeting the minimum data capture criteria to show separately but which together create an area at or above the minimum size for data capture will be shown as a single polygon.

Recreation Areas (Feature Class) adjacent, or within, school grounds will still be captured as long as they meet the definition of the applicable Recreation feature type and associated size criteria (e.g. oval, miscellaneous area (tennis courts)).

Recreation Areas are to have an accompanying textnote eg 'golf course', 'showgrounds' unless the words 'golf course', 'showgrounds' etc are included in the name. 'Miscellaneous Area', 'Multiple Use' and 'other' will not be used as descriptive labels.

When utilising Map Representation size criteria as part of the determination of the Upperscale values, when the sum of all adjoining RecreationAreas feature class polygon areas meets, or exceeds, the map representation size criterion then all component parts will be considered eligible for that scale.

When assigning an SYMBOL100K or SYMBOL250K value, one of the following will apply:

• The polygon meets or exceeds the map representation size criteria for the appropriate scale - 3576 Recreation Area
• The polygon is below the minimum size for map representation, but when considered with adjoining recreation area feature class polygons, the sum total of the adjoining areas meets or exceeds the map representation size criteria for the appropriate scale - 3576 Recreation Area
• The polygon is below the minimum size for map representation (including when considered with adjoining recreation areas feature class polygon) and is fully surrounded by Built Up Area with the equivalent or smaller scale (larger area) Upperscale Value - 419 Built Up Area

General - All Scales

Size and any other selection criteria apply to all feature occurrences.

Landmark Point features are not shown in or in close proximity to Built Up Areas, unless the feature is of significant landmark value.

Landmark Point features will only be used for entities which cover a small area on the ground.

Landmark Points whose area is equal to or larger than the applicable minimum data capture size for a Landmark Area feature will be captured as such. The default subtype will be Landmark Area General unless specific information denotes another subtype.

The following are typical examples of Landmark Points.
Note: This listing does not represent all features that may be considered for inclusion in this Feature Type. Other features meeting the definition and criteria for this feature type (and not represented by any other entity i.e building, recreation area) may be included where sourced from authorised Revision Information, Special Instructions or Action Requests supplied by Geoscience Australia. Refer to the Feature Type Cross Reference listing in Appendix A for commonly used terms that default to the Landmark Point feature type. These terms will be attributed with the following generic description on entry to the NTDB:

aircraft wreck, beacon, border post, cairn, historic cairn, historic marked tree, historic marker, historic monument, mooring platform, kiln, lookout, memorial, monument, observatory, radio beacon, radio telephone, radio telescope, radion telescope, telescope, underwater observatory, viewing platform.

Where a lookout can be confirmed as having an associated tower structure in the base material/digital data or revision material it will be represented as a 'Vertical Obstruction'. Otherwise where no tower structure exists but the lookout is named or has man made features such as brickwork, paving or wooden structure it will be represented as a landmark point.

When representing an observatory complex as a landmark area individual telescopes should still be captured in landmark points but not symbolised. Similar situations where landmark points have a direct relationship with a landmark area may be treated in the same manner.

Indigenous sacred sites will not be named as sacred sites on the map even if named on a previous edition map, but the feature may be a lake, pool or waterhole in which case the appropriate map symbol and hydrological name will be used.

Radio Repeator Station will be captured only when there is no evidence of the presence of buildings, otherwise they will be represented as a building with a textnote of 'radio repeator station'.

Kilns will only be captured when not associated with a chimney represented in the vertical obstructions feature type.

Ventilation shafts should be represented as mine points with a textnote 'ventilation shaft' and not as a landmark point.

Drive-in should be represented in the 'Recreation Areas' (feature class) not as a landmark point.

Offshore marine lights and beacons will be captured as Marine Infrastructure Point.

For Upperscale assignment, the selection of Landmark Points should be based on the equivalent scale previous edition hardcopy or digital topographic map taking into account any significant changes in a regions population growth or decline, underlying infrastructure or industry change which may impact the importance of an entities potential for recognition or landmark value (including history of area). Where a landmark point has no other significant importance other than visual (eg not linked to a historical event, not culturally significant such as a war memorial) then the visual range that an individual could either see it from or from the feature to the surrounding environment should also be considered eg entity can be seen from 200m vs 20km. In General, all landmark points of regional importance should be included at 1:25000, all landmark points of a state/territory importance should be included at 1:100000 and only landmark points of national importance should be assigned values of 1:250000 and greater (eg 1:5000000).

General - All Scales

Size and any other selection criteria apply to all feature occurrences.

Recreation Areas will be named, when known, in the base or reference material. Commercial names will not be included (eg Peter Pans Caravan Park, Telstra Stadium, Etihad Stadium).

Recreation Areas will usually occur surrounded by built up areas. They may also be isolated polygons outside the built up area.

Recreation Areas should not be confused with the Nature Conservation Reserve feature.

Recreation Areas may overlap polygons in the Waterbodies feature dataset. Waterbodies fully included in recreation areas will be considered part of the recreation area. These waterbodies will also be shown in the waterbodies layer.

Where different types of RecreationAreas existing within base material adjoin one another, each area which meets or exceeds the minimum size for inclusion will be shown as a separate polygon and attributed accordingly. Adjoining areas not meeting the minimum 'inclusion' criteria to show separately but which together create an area at or above the minimum size for inclusion will be shown as a single polygon.

When capturing a new feature from reference material, each area which meets or exceeds the minimum size for data capture will be shown as a separate polygon and attributed accordingly. Adjoining areas not meeting the minimum data capture criteria to show separately but which together create an area at or above the minimum size for data capture will be shown as a single polygon.

Ovals, race courses, race tracks and showgrounds should be captured based on the land parcel on which they are situated not their circular shape, taking into account supporting buildings (stadiums, change rooms), parking and surrounding open land, to the nearest natural boundary. This boundary will generally be the edge of the cadastral land parcel or where the use of the land is not inhabiting the full parcel then the closest fence or tree line, road or pathway, etc.

Recreation Areas (Feature Class) adjacent, or within, school grounds will still be captured as long as they meet the definition of the applicable Recreation feature type and associated size criteria (e.g. oval, miscellaneous area (tennis courts)).

Recreation Areas are to have an accompanying textnote eg 'golf course', 'showgrounds' unless the words 'golf course', 'showgrounds' etc are included in the name. 'Miscellaneous Area', 'Multiple Use' and 'other' will not be used as descriptive labels.

Horse Training Tracks should be classified as feature type 'Miscellaneous Area' in the Recreation Areas feature class but only included when their existence can be confirmed through reference material and/or imagery.

Race tracks and courses not related to horse racing such as motorbike, car and dog racing, etc should be classified as feature type 'Miscellaneous Area' in the Recreation Areas feature class.

Caravan Parks is to be captured as feature type 'Miscellaneous Area' in the Recreation Areas feature class. Caravan Park are to have an accompanying textnote eg 'caravan park' unless the words 'caravan park' etc are included in the name

When utilising Map Representation size criteria as part of the determination of the Upperscale values, when the sum of all adjoining RecreationAreas feature class polygon areas meets, or exceeds, the map representation size criterion then all component parts will be considered eligible for that scale.

When assigning an SYMBOL100K or SYMBOL250K value, one of the following will apply:

• The polygon meets or exceeds the map representation size criteria for the appropriate scale - 3576 Recreation Area
• The polygon is below the minimum size for map representation, but when considered with adjoining recreation area feature class polygons, the sum total of the adjoining areas meets or exceeds the map representation size criteria for the appropriate scale - 3576 Recreation Area
• The polygon is below the minimum size for map representation (including when considered with adjoining recreation areas feature class polygon) and is fully surrounded by Built Up Area with the equivalent or smaller scale (larger area) Upperscale Value - 419 Built Up Area
• The polygon is below the minimum size for map representation (including when considered with adjoining recreation areas feature class polygon) and is not fully surrounded by Built Up Area with the equivalent or smaller scale (larger area) Upperscale Value - 3 Polygon No Draw

General - All Scales

Size and any other selection criteria apply to all feature occurrences.

Landmark area features will only be used for man made entities or areas defined by man for a specific use which are clearly identifiable either through signage or infrastructure.

Landmark area features will not be used to duplicate or clone entities covered by another feature class, for example recreation area, administration areas, but may be used to provide a spatial link between numerous feature classes comprising a cohesive complex. They represent the area extent of a feature or complex not just its component parts, e.g. Education Facility will represent the boundary of the school lands, not just the school buildings (also represented in building points/area), ovals and tennis courts (also represented as recreation areas) and the miscellaneous land not designated for any specific purpose but still owned by the school.

The 'Power Generation Facilities' feature type includes the following (or any other feature specified by Geoscience Australia through a special instruction or action request):

General - All Scales

Size and any other selection criteria apply to all feature occurrences.

Recreation Areas will be named, when known, in the base or reference material. Commercial names will not be included (eg Peter Pans Caravan Park, Telstra Stadium, Etihad Stadium).

Recreation Areas will usually occur surrounded by built up areas. They may also be isolated polygons outside the built up area.

Recreation Areas should not be confused with the Nature Conservation Reserve feature.

Recreation Areas may overlap polygons in the Waterbodies feature dataset. Waterbodies fully included in recreation areas will be considered part of the recreation area. These waterbodies will also be shown in the waterbodies layer.

Where different types of RecreationAreas existing within base material adjoin one another, each area which meets or exceeds the minimum size for inclusion will be shown as a separate polygon and attributed accordingly. Adjoining areas not meeting the minimum 'inclusion' criteria to show separately but which together create an area at or above the minimum size for inclusion will be shown as a single polygon.

When capturing a new feature from reference material, each area which meets or exceeds the minimum size for data capture will be shown as a separate polygon and attributed accordingly. Adjoining areas not meeting the minimum data capture criteria to show separately but which together create an area at or above the minimum size for data capture will be shown as a single polygon.

Ovals, race courses, race tracks and showgrounds should be captured based on the land parcel on which they are situated not their circular shape, taking into account supporting buildings (stadiums, change rooms), parking and surrounding open land, to the nearest natural boundary. This boundary will generally be the edge of the cadastral land parcel or where the use of the land is not inhabiting the full parcel then the closest fence or tree line, road or pathway, etc.

Recreation Areas (Feature Class) adjacent, or within, school grounds will still be captured as long as they meet the definition of the applicable Recreation feature type and associated size criteria (e.g. oval, miscellaneous area (tennis courts)).

Horse Training Tracks should be classified as feature type 'Miscellaneous Area' in the Recreation Areas feature class but only included when their existence can be confirmed through reference material and/or imagery.

Race tracks and courses not related to horse racing such as motorbike, car and dog racing, etc should be classified as feature type 'Miscellaneous Area' in the Recreation Areas feature class.

Recreation Areas are to have an accompanying textnote eg 'golf course', 'showgrounds' unless the words 'golf course', 'showgrounds' etc are included in the name. 'Miscellaneous Area', 'Multiple Use' and 'other' will not be used as descriptive labels.

When utilising Map Representation size criteria as part of the determination of the Upperscale values, when the sum of all adjoining RecreationAreas feature class polygon areas meets, or exceeds, the map representation size criterion then all component parts will be considered eligible for that scale.

When assigning an SYMBOL100K or SYMBOL250K value, one of the following will apply:

• The polygon meets or exceeds the map representation size criteria for the appropriate scale - 3576 Recreation Area
• The polygon is below the minimum size for map representation, but when considered with adjoining recreation area feature class polygons, the sum total of the adjoining areas meets or exceeds the map representation size criteria for the appropriate scale - 3576 Recreation Area
• The polygon is below the minimum size for map representation (including when considered with adjoining recreation areas feature class polygon) and is fully surrounded by Built Up Area with the equivalent or smaller scale (larger area) Upperscale Value - 419 Built Up Area
• The polygon is below the minimum size for map representation (including when considered with adjoining recreation areas feature class polygon) and is not fully surrounded by Built Up Area with the equivalent or smaller scale (larger area) Upperscale Value - 3 Polygon No Draw

Recreation Areas are to have an accompanying textnote eg 'golf course', 'showgrounds' unless the words 'golf course', 'showgrounds' etc are included in the name. 'Miscellaneous Area', 'Multiple Use' and 'other' will not be used as descriptive labels.

When utilising Map Representation size criteria as part of the determination of the Upperscale values, when the sum of all adjoining RecreationAreas feature class polygon areas meets, or exceeds, the map representation size criterion then all component parts will be considered eligible for that scale.

When assigning an SYMBOL100K or SYMBOL250K value, one of the following will apply:

• The polygon meets or exceeds the map representation size criteria for the appropriate scale - 3576 Recreation Area
• The polygon is below the minimum size for map representation, but when considered with adjoining recreation area feature class polygons, the sum total of the adjoining areas meets or exceeds the map representation size criteria for the appropriate scale - 3576 Recreation Area
• The polygon is below the minimum size for map representation (including when considered with adjoining recreation areas feature class polygon) and is fully surrounded by Built Up Area with the equivalent or smaller scale (larger area) Upperscale Value - 419 Built Up Area

Landmark area features will only be used for man made entities or areas defined by man for a specific use which are clearly identifiable either through signage or infrastructure.

Landmark area features will not be used to duplicate or clone entities covered by another feature class, for example recreation area, administration areas, but may be used to provide a spatial link between numerous feature classes comprising a cohesive complex. They represent the area extent of a feature or complex not just its component parts, e.g. Education Facility will represent the boundary of the school lands, not just the school buildings (also represented in building points/area), ovals and tennis courts (also represented as recreation areas) and the miscellaneous land not designated for any specific purpose but still owned by the school.

Scientific Facilities include the following (or any other feature specified by Geoscience Australia through a special instruction or action request):

tracking station, research station, quarantine centre, observatory, radion telescope.

The above list should be used as the acceptable description field entries, additional entries may be provided by Geoscience Australia.

When representing a Windfarm as a landmark area individual Wind generators should still be captured in landmark points but not symbolised. Similar situations where landmark points have a direct relationship with a landmark area may be treated in the same manner.

General - All Scales

Size and any other selection criteria apply to all feature occurrences.

Recreation Areas will be named, when known, in the base or reference material. Commercial names will not be included (eg Peter Pans Caravan Park, Telstra Stadium, Etihad Stadium).

Recreation Areas will usually occur surrounded by built up areas. They may also be isolated polygons outside the built up area.

Recreation Areas should not be confused with the Nature Conservation Reserve feature.

Recreation Areas may overlap polygons in the Waterbodies feature dataset. Waterbodies fully included in recreation areas will be considered part of the recreation area. These waterbodies will also be shown in the waterbodies layer.

Where different types of RecreationAreas existing within base material adjoin one another, each area which meets or exceeds the minimum size for inclusion will be shown as a separate polygon and attributed accordingly. Adjoining areas not meeting the minimum 'inclusion' criteria to show separately but which together create an area at or above the minimum size for inclusion will be shown as a single polygon.

When capturing a new feature from reference material, each area which meets or exceeds the minimum size for data capture will be shown as a separate polygon and attributed accordingly. Adjoining areas not meeting the minimum data capture criteria to show separately but which together create an area at or above the minimum size for data capture will be shown as a single polygon.

Ovals, race courses, race tracks and showgrounds should be captured based on the land parcel on which they are situated not their circular shape, taking into account supporting buildings (stadiums, change rooms), parking and surrounding open land, to the nearest natural boundary. This boundary will generally be the edge of the cadastral land parcel or where the use of the land is not inhabiting the full parcel then the closest fence or tree line, road or pathway, etc.

Recreation Areas (Feature Class) adjacent, or within, school grounds will still be captured as long as they meet the definition of the applicable Recreation feature type and associated size criteria (e.g. oval, miscellaneous area (tennis courts)).

Recreation Areas are to have an accompanying textnote eg 'golf course', 'showgrounds' unless the words 'golf course', 'showgrounds' etc are included in the name. 'Miscellaneous Area', 'Multiple Use' and 'other' will not be used as descriptive labels.

When utilising Map Representation size criteria as part of the determination of the Upperscale values, when the sum of all adjoining RecreationAreas feature class polygon areas meets, or exceeds, the map representation size criterion then all component parts will be considered eligible for that scale.

When assigning an SYMBOL100K or SYMBOL250K value, one of the following will apply:

• The polygon meets or exceeds the map representation size criteria for the appropriate scale - 3576 Recreation Area
• The polygon is below the minimum size for map representation, but when considered with adjoining recreation area feature class polygons, the sum total of the adjoining areas meets or exceeds the map representation size criteria for the appropriate scale - 3576 Recreation Area
• The polygon is below the minimum size for map representation (including when considered with adjoining recreation areas feature class polygon) and is fully surrounded by Built Up Area with the equivalent or smaller scale (larger area) Upperscale Value - 419 Built Up Area

General - All Scales

Size and any other selection criteria apply to all feature occurrences.

New towers and other obstructions will be added from the towers reference material. Where the position of new towers can not be verified on the imagery or other reference or supporting material they will be labelled 'position approximate'. If the feature is in a closely settled area, the exact location should be sought via an Action Request.

The following are typical examples of man-made features that are to be included as Vertical Obstructions.
Note: This listing does not represent all features that may be considered for inclusion in this Feature Type. Other man-made features meeting the definition and criteria for this feature type (and not represented by any other entity i.e building, recreation area) may be included where sourced from authorised Revision Information, Special Instructions or Action Requests supplied by Geoscience Australia. Refer to the Feature Type Cross Reference listing in Appendix A for commonly used terms that default to the Vertical Obstruction feature type. These terms will be attributed with the following generic description on entry to the NTDB:

aerial, antenna, chimney, communications tower, cooling tower, electricity pylon, fire tower, forestry tower, gas platform, light tower, lookout tower, mast, microwave tower, mobile phone tower, obelisk, observation tower, oil platform, radar tower, radio antenna, radio mast, radio tower, railway tower, repeater tower, silo, smelter tower, steeple, telescope, television antenna, television tower, tower, viewing platform, water tower, water intake tower, wind turbine generator.

Vertical Obstruction features will only be used for man made entities.

Vertical Obstruction features are not shown in or in close proximity to Built Up Areas, unless the feature is of significant landmark value.

Vertical Obstruction features will only be used for entities which cover a small area on the ground and which are usually prominent from a distance.

Where a lookout can be confirmed as having an associated tower structure in the base material/digital data or revision material it will be represented as a 'Vertical Obstruction'. Otherwise where no tower structure exists but the lookout is named or has man made features such as brickwork, paving or wooden structure it will be represented as a landmark point.

When representing a Windfarm as a landmark area, the individual Wind generators should still be captured in Vertical Obstructions. In this case the Vertical Obstructions will only be symbolised if the associated Landmark Area is not shown at the associated scale. Similar situations where Vertical Obstructions have a direct relationship with a landmark area may be treated in the same manner.

Vertical Obstructions whose area is equal to or larger than the applicable minimum data capture size for a Landmark Area feature will be captured as such. The default subtype will be Landmark Area General unless specific information denotes another subtype.

Indigenous sacred sites will not be named as sacred sites on the map even if named on a previous edition map, but the feature may be a lake, pool or waterhole in which case the appropriate map symbol and hydrological name will be used.

Offshore marine lights and beacons will be captured as Marine Infrastructure Point.

Electricity pylons should only be captured upon request from Geoscience Australia and not part of standard capture for vertical obstructions.

For Symbol100K and Symbol250K an explanation is given for which vertical obstruction symbol numbers are to be used in relation to the designated standard descriptions.

General - All Scales

Where a Elevated Water Tank exists, it will be captured/maintained in Water Storage Point feature class as a Water Tank and cloned as a Vertical Obstruction with a description of 'water tower'.

General - All Scales

Vertical Obstruction features are to have an accompanying descriptive note eg 'communications tower', 'wind turbine generator' unless the words 'communications tower', 'wind turbine generator' etc are included in the name. The generic descriptions (only) of 'chimney', 'silo' and 'tower' will not be included on map face as they are represented in the legend.

Height above ground level of features will be shown as part of the descriptive note where it equals or exceeds 44.50 metres rounded to the nearest metre and when that information is available.

The height shown on the map will be rounded to the nearest metre.

General - All Scales

This feature will only be captured in sparsely and moderately settled regions as defined by Appendix C 'Fence and Water Facilities Guide', the only exception is when specifically requested otherwise by Geoscience Australia. All feature occurrences existing in the base material/digital data or NTDB will be retained unless there is clear evidence they no longer exist. Size and any other selection criteria apply to all feature occurrences.

Many Windpumps are being replaced by solar powered pumps, where not visible on imagery provided, a request should be forwarded to Geoscience Australia on how to proceed.

Windpumps will be shown when the features are sufficiently prominent to serve as landmarks.

Only windpumps in sparsely and moderately settled regions will be eligible to have an Upperscale Value of 100,000 or smaller scales (larger extents).

When assigning Upperscale Values in sparsely & moderately settled regions the following will apply:

• The selection for each scale should consider the proximity of other windpump features. When symbolised at scale the resultant representations should not cause 'clutter' on the final product output. The final selection may be used to represent the locations of an individual windpumps as well as groups of windpumps. A group of windpumps that cannot be shown individually (due to proximity) may also be shown by a representative pattern.


• The selection used on the previous edition map at the applicable scale should be used as a guide unless significant variations in land use have occurred. Newly captured features should have the significance compared to those currently represented.


• A windpump's relationship to other appendix C features and the surrounding landscape (ie its relevant importance as a landmark feature and its importance in regards to understanding its inter-relationships eg with a bore)

General - All Scales

Windpumps cannot overlap Sea, WatercourseAreas feature class (Perennial), Lake perennial, Canal Area, Reservoirs (feature class) or BuildingAreas (feature class).

General - All Scales

Windpumps will be named where named on the base material/digital data or revision source material supplied.

Where a Water Tank/Dam and Windpump are situated together, only the Windpump, which has the greater landmark value, will be shown. (Refer feature Windpump).

General - All Scales

This feature will only be captured in sparsely settled regions as defined by Appendix C 'Fence and Water Facilities Guide', the only exception is when specifically requested otherwise by Geoscience Australia. All feature occurrences existing in the base material/digital data or NTDB will be retained unless there is clear evidence they no longer exist. Size and any other selection criteria apply to all feature occurrences.

Features will be depicted using the feature type 'Fence Standard' when the yard extent is greater than the following:

• At a capture scale of 1:25 000 : 3906 sq m
• At a capture scale of 1:100 000 : 62500 sq m
• At a capture scale of 1:250 000 : 390625 sq m
• At a capture scale of 1:1 000 000 : 6250000 sq m

• The selection for each scale should consider the proximity of other yard features. No two yards should have the same upperscale value when within ((map representation scale/1000) X 1.4) m.


• The selection used on the previous edition map at the applicable scale should be used as a guide unless significant variations in land use have occurred. Newly captured features should have the significance compared to those currently represented.


• A yards relationship to other appendix C features and the surrounding landscape (ie its relevant importance as a landmark feature and its importance in regards to understanding its inter-relationships eg with a bore)

General - All Scales

Yards that are within 2mm at map scale of a bore or homestead will be symbolised to 2 PointNoDraw.

Yards cannot overlap Sea, WatercourseAreas feature class (Perennial), Lake Perennial, Canal Area, Reservoirs (feature class) or BuildingAreas (feature class).
