File Notation Areas for Proposed Land Transactions in Western Australia

File Notation Areas represent proposed land transactions or changes in land use from the Crown, managed by the Department of Mines and Petroleum's TENGRAPH system. The dataset includes purpose details and references to departmental files, such as file/volume/folio numbers, with many involving Section 16(3) clearances under the Mining Act. It was last updated in March 2026 and is provided by the Department of Energy, Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety.

Use Cases

• Analyze spatial distribution of proposed land transactions using the geometry in SHP or GeoPackage files.
• Link purpose details to departmental file references for tracking administrative processes.
• Identify areas involving Section 16(3) clearances under the Mining Act for regulatory compliance mapping.

Strengths

• Spatial data provided in multiple standard formats including SHP, GeoPackage, and WFS for interoperability.
• Includes administrative details like purpose and file/volume/folio references for context.
• Maintained by the authoritative state department (Department of Energy, Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety).

Limitations

• No row count, column list, or sample data provided to assess dataset scale and structure.
