Original Issue - https://code.google.com/p/alageospatialportal/issues/detail?id=801

Reported by d...@dougashton.com, Nov 29, 2011 load "layers->political->Australia States and Territories" and then look at border area. I looked at the border between Canberra and Queanbeyan and also Cameron Corner http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cameron_Corner. The Google supplied borders matched the base layers but "layers->political->Australia States and Territories" matched neither. The end result is confusing if you are trying to work out visually which state a point close to the border is in. Important for understanding the operation of Sensitive data rules.

In addition the "layers->political->Australia States and Territories" shows a dog leg in the border near Cameron Corner that I have not been able to see on other maps. Unfortunately the "View metadata for Australian States .." page http://spatial.ala.org.au/alaspatial/layers/22 has broken links.

The same issues apply to the LGA Boundaries layer as well Nov 29, 2011 #1 d...@dougashton.com I have just tested "layers->Marine->boundaries->States including coastal waters" and the State boundaries it includes match very closely with the google boundaries and base layers. This layer also has excellent metadata associated with it and appears authoritative.
Nov 29, 2011 #2 ajay.ranipeta setting to Lee for triage Owner: leebel...@gmail.com Nov 29, 2011 Project Member #3 leebel...@gmail.com It boils down to a need for a better States and Territories layer and fixing the broken links in the layer table. Meanwhile, the states/territories with coastal waters will need to suffice.

There is a 2011 states/territories shapefile at http://abs.gov.au/AUSSTATS/abs@.nsf/DetailsPage/1270.0.55.001July%202011?OpenDocument. Metadata? Who knows.

Cc: d...@dougashton.com Feb 15, 2012 #5 ajay.ranipeta Should this be done by Chris as he is set to update the LGA boundaries? Issue 670
Feb 15, 2012 Project Member #6 leebel...@gmail.com Yes. Over to Chris to lead. Added the updated states/territories to the ListOfOutstandingLayersToBeIngested spreadsheet on Google Docs.

Labels: -Priority-High Priority-Low Jul 10, 2013 Project Member #9 leebel...@gmail.com This is a basic layer used in many applications and there appears to be an offset of up to 1km on the ACT boundary so it would be a good idea to update this layer asap. Agree with Doug that the layer "States and territories including coastal waters" is far more accurate Cc: -d...@dougashton.com moyesyside Labels: -Priority-Low Priority-High

Metadata found (ABS) and updated in layers table. Note: This layer will deprecate the current state and territory boundaries layer cl22 (aus1).

adam-collins commented 9 years ago

Is this OK for prod?

Tasilee commented 9 years ago

Yes

Tasilee commented 9 years ago

...and remove cl22 (not deprecate)

adam-collins commented 9 years ago

On prod. Need to update biocache to point at cl2013 instead of cl22 before removing.

Tasilee commented 9 years ago

Looks good. Agree - swap biocache to cl2013 then remove cl22 (asap) to remove problems (e.g., points in ocean etc) and confusion.

ansell commented 8 years ago

Those layers may need to be be deprecated in favour of the latest PSMA boundaries, see issue #81

Tasilee commented 8 years ago

Agreed.
