Geodatabase Rules

General - All Scales

The Standard contour interval is 20m.

Contours will carry the Symbol code for Index contours at every 100m taken from elevation 0.

Interpolated Contours will be shown on the map where the contours were previously deleted from symbols such as highway shields and the new symbols are smaller on the revised map or shown in a different location. In some instances contours were unnecessarily deleted well before cliff symbols or broken for sand ridges. These contours should also be interpolated and shown on the map, provided they do not run into each other.

Where contours in steep terrain were deleted from previous maps to avoid them running into each other, they must be interpolated to close the Hypsometric polygons but they should not print ie they will be given symbol 1 - LineNoDraw.

One contour is to be shown at each contour interval height.

Interpolated contours will be given a symbol of 1-LineNoDraw when the 0 elevation contour is cloned from Waterlines, Junctions and other features forming the coastline.

Interpolated contours;
These may or may not be printed on the map, according to requirements (e.g. clarity and benefit to map face). Use 1 -LineNoDraw for non printing lines, and the appropriate class symbol no. above for printable lines.

Inter-Feature Relationship Rules - Internal to Associated Dataset

General - All Scales

Contours of different height must not touch each other. No contour can cross itself or another contour.

No gaps should appear in contours.

Spot Elevations must not contradict contours.

Inter-Feature Relationship Rules - External to Associated Dataset

General - All Scales

Shoreline, Junctions & other features forming the coastline will be cloned as 0 (zero) elevation contours. The 0 contour will have a classification of Standard contour except where there are coastal cliffs in which case it will have a classification of connector discontinuity or where it is cloned from a junction in which case it will have a classification of connector standard.

Contours (feature class) cannot fall over Sea, Perennial Lake, Flood Irrigation Storage, Town Water Storage and Rural Water Storage polygons.

Survey Marks (feature dataset) must not contradict contours.

Contours can exist in a Mine Area but should not exist within open cut pit associated with the mine area.

Map Rules

General - All Scales

Contours will be masked by Built Up Area.

No feature type field exists for this annotation feature class. The feature type has only been included throughout the specification documentation for ease of reference.

Only Annotation associated with, or derived from, entities in feature classes grouped within the Relief feature dataset should exist within the ReliefAnno feature class.

Wherever possible annotation should be stored using the subclasses indicated under AnnotationClassID. Annotation stored as inline text should be kept to a minimum.

Type for large polygons and long linear features may be held in an annotation feature for each word to allow for spacing and differences in orientation, see Section 2 chapter 4.

Annotation should not contain any HTML tags within the blob element, nor should it contain any special characters.

Editing and placement of Annotation should be conducted in the appropriate MGA 1994 zone to ensure the spatial position of type on the map face can be correctly represented.

Annotation should only occur where the associated feature either has a sufficient dimension size or Upperscale value to be shown at 1:100 000 scale or a smaller scale/larger extent (eg 1:250 000, 1:1 000 000)

Geodatabase Rules

General - All Scales

Hypsometric Areas are retained for historical purposes only. No alterations or maintenance will be conducted on this feature class. The remaining rules for this feature type are retained purely for reference purposes.

The elevation of the hypsometric areas is defined as the minimum elevation of all the bounding contours (excluding auxiliary contours).

Areas enclosed by one depression contour will carry for elevation the value of the depression contour minus the contour interval.

Where hypsometric areas meet the edge of the working database the elevations must match those of any adjoining areas which have working data available.

Inter-Feature Relationship Rules - Internal to Associated Dataset

General - All Scales

Hypsometric Area is bounded by features in the Contours feature class.

Adjacent Hypsometric Areas must have their elevations differing by only one contour interval.

The Standard contour interval is 50m at 1:250 000.

Contours will carry the Symbol code for Index contours at every 250m from elevation 0.

Interpolated Contours will be shown on the map where the contours were previously deleted from symbols such as highway shields and the new symbols are smaller on the revised map or shown in a different location. In some instances contours were unnecessarily deleted well before cliff symbols or broken for sand ridges. These contours should also be interpolated and shown on the map, provided they do not run into each other.

Where contours in steep terrain were deleted from previous maps to avoid them running into each other, they must be interpolated to close the Hypsometric polygons but they should not print ie they will be given symbol 1 - LineNoDraw.

One contour is to be shown at each contour interval height.

Interpolated contours will be given a symbol of 1 - LineNoDraw when the 0 elevation contour is cloned from Waterlines, Junctions and other features forming the coastline.

Interpolated contours;
These may or may not be printed on the map, according to requirements (e.g. clarity and benefit to map face). Use 1 - LineNoDraw for non printing lines, and the appropriate class symbol no. above for printable lines.

No feature type field exists for this annotation feature class. The feature type has only been included throughout the specification documentation for ease of reference.

Only Annotation associated with, or derived from, entities in feature classes grouped within the Relief feature dataset should exist within the ReliefAnno feature class.

Wherever possible annotation should be stored using the subclasses indicated under AnnotationClassID. Annotation stored as inline text should be kept to a minimum.

Type for large polygons and long linear features may be held in an annotation feature for each word to allow for spacing and differences in orientation, see Section 2 chapter 4.

Annotation should not contain any HTML tags within the blob element, nor should it contain any special characters.

Editing and placement of Annotation should be conducted in the appropriate MGA 1994 zone to ensure the spatial position of type on the map face can be correctly represented.

Annotation should only occur where the associated feature either has a sufficient dimension size or Upperscale value to be shown at 1:250 000 scale or a smaller scale/larger extent (eg 1:1 000 000,1:5 000 000)

Interpolated Contours will be shown on the map where the contours were previously deleted from symbols such as highway shields and the new symbols are smaller on the revised map or shown in a different location. In some instances contours were unnecessarily deleted well before cliff symbols or broken for sand ridges. These contours should also be interpolated and shown on the map, provided they do not run into each other.

Where contours in steep terrain were deleted from previous maps to avoid them running into each other, they must be interpolated to close the Hypsometric polygons but they should not print ie they will be given symbol 1 - LineNoDraw.

One contour is to be shown at each contour interval height.

Interpolated contours will be given a symbol of 1 - LineNoDraw when the 0 elevation contour is cloned from Waterlines, Junctions and other features forming the coastline.

Geodatabase Rules

General - All Scales

No feature type field exists for this annotation feature class. The feature type has only been included throughout the specification documentation for ease of reference.

Only Annotation associated with, or derived from, entities in feature classes grouped within the Relief feature dataset should exist within the ReliefAnno feature class.

Wherever possible annotation should be stored using the subclasses indicated under AnnotationClassID. Annotation stored as inline text should be kept to a minimum.

Type for large polygons and long linear features may be held in an annotation feature for each word to allow for spacing and differences in orientation, see Section 2 chapter 4.

Annotation should not contain any HTML tags within the blob element, nor should it contain any special characters.

Editing and placement of Annotation should be conducted in the appropriate Lambert Conic Conformal Projection ( with two standard parallels and a central meridian per each chart's requirements) to ensure the spatial position of type on the map face can be correctly represented.

Annotation should only occur where the associated feature either has a sufficient dimension size or Upperscale value to be shown at 1:1 000 000 scale or a smaller scale/larger extent (eg 1:2 500 000, 1:10 000 000)

Geodatabase Rules

General - All Scales

The Standard contour intervals are 200m, 500m, 1000m, 1500m, 2000m.

Interpolated Contours will be shown on the map where the contours were previously deleted from symbols such as highway shields and the new symbols are smaller on the revised map or shown in a different location. In some instances contours were unnecessarily deleted well before cliff symbols or broken for sand ridges. These contours should also be interpolated and shown on the map, provided they do not run into each other.

Where contours in steep terrain were deleted from previous maps to avoid them running into each other, they must be interpolated to close the Hypsometric polygons but they should not print ie they will be given symbol 1 - LineNoDraw.

One contour is to be shown at each contour interval height.

Interpolated contours will be given a symbol of 1 - LineNoDraw when the 0 elevation contour is cloned from Waterlines, Junctions and other features forming the coastline.

Interpolated contours;
These may or may not be printed on the map, according to requirements (e.g. clarity and benefit to map face). Use 1 - LineNoDraw for non printing lines, and the appropriate class symbol no. above for printable lines.

Inter-Feature Relationship Rules - Internal to Associated Dataset

General - All Scales

Contours of different height must not touch each other. No contour can cross itself or another contour.

No gaps should appear in contours.

Spot Elevations must not contradict contours.

Inter-Feature Relationship Rules - External to Associated Dataset

General - All Scales

Shoreline, Junctions & other features forming the coastline will be cloned as 0 (zero) elevation contours. The 0 contour will have a classification of Standard contour except where there are coastal cliffs in which case it will have a classification of connector discontinuity or where it is cloned from a junction in which case it will have a classification of connector standard.

Contours (feature class) cannot fall over Sea, Perennial Lake, Flood Irrigation Storage, Town Water Storage and Rural Water Storage polygons.

Contours can exist in a Mine Area but should not exist within open cut pit associated with the mine area.

Map Rules

General - All Scales

Contours will be masked by Built Up Area.

For depression contours the ticks will be on the downhill side of the line.

General - All Scales

No feature type field exists for this annotation feature class. The feature type has only been included throughout the specification documentation for ease of reference.

Only Annotation associated with, or derived from, entities in feature classes grouped within the Relief feature dataset should exist within the ReliefAnno feature class.

Wherever possible annotation should be stored using the subclasses indicated under AnnotationClassID. Annotation stored as inline text should be kept to a minimum.

Type for large polygons and long linear features may be held in an annotation feature for each word to allow for spacing and differences in orientation, see Section 2 chapter 4.

Annotation should not contain any HTML tags within the blob element, nor should it contain any special characters.

Editing and placement of Annotation should be conducted in the appropriate Simple Conic Projection with two standard parallels of 18 degrees south and 36 degrees south to ensure the spatial position of type on the map face can be correctly represented.

Annotation should only occur where the associated feature either has a sufficient dimension size or Upperscale value to be shown at 1:2 500 000 scale or a smaller scale/larger extent (eg 1:5 000 000, 1:10 000 000)

The Standard contour intervals are 200m, 500m, 1000m, 1500m, 2000m.

Interpolated Contours will be shown on the map where the contours were previously deleted from symbols such as highway shields and the new symbols are smaller on the revised map or shown in a different location. In some instances contours were unnecessarily deleted well before cliff symbols or broken for sand ridges. These contours should also be interpolated and shown on the map, provided they do not run into each other.

Where contours in steep terrain were deleted from previous maps to avoid them running into each other, they must be interpolated to close the Hypsometric polygons but they should not print ie they will be given symbol 1 - LineNoDraw.

One contour is to be shown at each contour interval height.

Interpolated contours will be given a symbol of 1 - LineNoDraw when the 0 elevation contour is cloned from Waterlines, Junctions and other features forming the coastline.

Interpolated contours;
These may or may not be printed on the map, according to requirements (e.g. clarity and benefit to map face). Use 1 - LineNoDraw for non printing lines, and the appropriate class symbol no. above for printable lines.

No feature type field exists for this annotation feature class. The feature type has only been included throughout the specification documentation for ease of reference.

Only Annotation associated with, or derived from, entities in feature classes grouped within the Relief feature dataset should exist within the ReliefAnno feature class.

Wherever possible annotation should be stored using the subclasses indicated under AnnotationClassID. Annotation stored as inline text should be kept to a minimum.

Type for large polygons and long linear features may be held in an annotation feature for each word to allow for spacing and differences in orientation, see Section 2 chapter 4.

Annotation should not contain any HTML tags within the blob element, nor should it contain any special characters.

Editing and placement of Annotation should be conducted in the appropriate Simple Conic Projection with two standard parallels of 18 degrees south and 36 degrees south to ensure the spatial position of type on the map face can be correctly represented.

Annotation should only occur where the associated feature either has a sufficient dimension size or Upperscale value to be shown at 1:5 000 000 scale or a smaller scale/larger extent (eg 1:10 000 000)

The Standard contour intervals are 200m, 500m, 1000m, 1500m, 2000m.

Interpolated Contours will be shown on the map where the contours were previously deleted from symbols such as highway shields and the new symbols are smaller on the revised map or shown in a different location. In some instances contours were unnecessarily deleted well before cliff symbols or broken for sand ridges. These contours should also be interpolated and shown on the map, provided they do not run into each other.

Where contours in steep terrain were deleted from previous maps to avoid them running into each other, they must be interpolated to close the Hypsometric polygons but they should not print ie they will be given symbol 1 - LineNoDraw.

One contour is to be shown at each contour interval height.

Interpolated contours will be given a symbol of 1-LineNoDraw when the 0 elevation contour is cloned from Waterlines, Junctions and other features forming the coastline.

Interpolated contours;
These may or may not be printed on the map, according to requirements (e.g. clarity and benefit to map face). Use 1-LineNoDraw for non printing lines, and the appropriate class symbol no. above for printable lines.

No feature type field exists for this annotation feature class. The feature type has only been included throughout the specification documentation for ease of reference.

Only Annotation associated with, or derived from, entities in feature classes grouped within the Relief feature dataset should exist within the ReliefAnno feature class.

Wherever possible annotation should be stored using the subclasses indicated under AnnotationClassID. Annotation stored as inline text should be kept to a minimum.

Type for large polygons and long linear features may be held in an annotation feature for each word to allow for spacing and differences in orientation, see Section 2 chapter 4.

Annotation should not contain any HTML tags within the blob element, nor should it contain any special characters.

Editing and placement of Annotation should be conducted in the appropriate Simple Conic Projection with two standard parallels of 18 degrees south and 36 degrees south to ensure the spatial position of type on the map face can be correctly represented.

Annotation should only occur where the associated feature either has a sufficient dimension size or Upperscale value to be shown at 1:10 000 000 scale.
