Southwest Australia Agricultural Zone Boundary

Western Australia's South West Agricultural Region defines the easternmost extent of land cleared for agricultural purposes. The zone was captured from orthophotography between 2007 and 2010 at a scale of 1:20,000 by the Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development.

Use Cases

• Analyze the Zone boundary to assess land-use change and agricultural expansion in Western Australia.
• Integrate the Zone geometry with other ecological datasets to study impacts on Biology and Boundaries.
• Use the Clearing Line feature for regional planning and Farming policy analysis.

Strengths

• Geographic data captured at a detailed scale of 1:20,000.
• Boundary derived from photographic interpretation of orthophotography.
• Managed by the authoritative state Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development.

Limitations

• Data capture dates range from 2007 to 2010, potentially representing outdated land boundaries.
• No tabular column or row count information is provided for quantitative analysis.
• The dataset solely represents a boundary zone without associated attribute data.
