The dataset, maintained by the Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development, delineates the prescribed operational boundaries for each community-based group.

Use Cases

• Map RBG area boundaries for regional biosecurity planning and resource allocation.
• Analyze spatial relationships between RBG areas and agricultural land use or pest incursion reports.
• Integrate RBG area geometries with other administrative boundaries for jurisdictional analysis.

Strengths

• Data is provided in multiple geospatial formats (WFS, WMS, GeoJSON, SHP) for interoperability.
• Sourced from the authoritative state government department (DPIRD Geographic Information Services).
• Formally recognized under the Biosecurity and Agriculture Management Act 2007, ensuring legal standing.

Limitations

• Unknown row count and column structure limit analytical planning.
• Sample data is unavailable for previewing data attributes and completeness.
