Note: this dataset description is metadata (data about data) which describes the actual dataset in accordance with the ANZLIC (Australia New Zealand Land Information Council) Core Metadata Guidelines Version 2 (February 2001)
ANZLIC unique identifier: ANZCW1101000008
Title: Future Act Determination Application - boundaries and core attributes
Custodian: National Native Title Tribunal
Jurisdiction: Australia
This dataset reflects the boundaries of those future act notices that have had a Future Act Determination application lodged (s35, Native Title Act; Commonwealth).
This is a national dataset with data partitioned by jurisdiction (State), for ease of use.
Aspatial attribution includes the National Native Title Tribunal number, lodged date, Future Act Notice Identifier, status, and the names of both the NNTT Case Manager and Lead Member where assigned to the application.

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 1994 and included in its spatial data maintenance program in 1998.
Positional accuracy:
Future act determination 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 primary detail as contained within the Future Act Reporting and Statistical System (FARSS).
Logical consistency:
Technical or unintentional overlaps between boundaries may arise within this dataset. Technical overlaps include portions of boundaries of future act determination applications that are intended to abut but which overlap. These overlaps may be caused by changes in source datasets used to create future act determination applications. Part of the maintenance program of this dataset is the identification and removal of such technical overlaps.
Completeness:
Complete.
