ANZLIC unique identifier: ANZCW1101000007
Title: Schedule of Native Title Applications (Federal Court status) - boundaries and core attributes about application
Custodian: National Native Title Tribunal
Jurisdiction: Australia
This dataset reflects the external boundaries of all native title determination and compensation applications that are currently recognized and active within the Federal Court process. Applications that are non-active (i.e. withdrawn, dismissed, finalised, rejected or combined) are only included as aspatial records for completeness.
This is a national dataset with data partitioned by jurisdiction (State), for ease of use. Applications stored for each jurisdiction dataset include applications which overlap into adjoining jurisdictions as well as applications which overlap with these for completeness.
This dataset depicts the spatial definition of active Claimant and Non-claimant native title determination applications and compensation applications. Where possible these may include internal boundaries or areas excluded. Aspatial attribution includes National Native Title Tribunal number, Federal Court number, application status and the names of both the NNTT Case Manager and Lead Member where assigned to the application.
Applications included on the Schedule of Native Title (Federal Court) include all registered and unregistered applications as well as determined applications that are yet to be finalized.

Geographic bounding box:
The bounding box encloses the maximum extents of the dataset. There may be voids or gaps within the bounding box, depending on the defined coverage of the dataset. Outer bounding rectangle as Latitude/Longitude coordinates based on the WGS84 datum (expressed as both Degrees Minutes Seconds and as decimal Degrees):
- North bounding latitude: 9 00 00.0 S (-9)
- South bounding latitude: 44 00 00.0 S (-44)
- East bounding longitude: 168 00 00.0 E (168)
- West bounding longitude: 96 15 00.0 E (96.25)
Lineage:
Created by the National Native Title Tribunal in 1998 and continuously updated and maintained.
Positional accuracy:
Application boundaries are based on various sources and may include any combination of cadastral, topographic, tenement and descriptive data. Positional accuracy depends on the source data.
Attribute accuracy:
Attributes are maintained continuously and should at all times reflect the status of Native Title Applications in the Federal Court. Some inconsistencies due to communication or procedural matters may occur from time to time.
Logical consistency:
Technical or unintentional overlaps between boundaries may arise within this dataset. Technical overlaps include portions of boundaries of applications that are intended to abut but which overlap. These overlaps may be caused by changes in source datasets used to create application boundaries or by differing interpretations of application boundary descriptions. Part of the maintenance program of this dataset is the identification and removal of such technical overlaps.
Completeness:
Complete.
