Product Change Details

Note

The information below is current at the time this report was published. There is a possibility the final release may contain additional changes. These will be described in the associated release report.

WA Property Enhancement

We’ve enhanced the logic used to associate Property with Cadastre in WA. As a result, around 16,000 additional records have been added to the WA property_cad table. This change has resulted in the inclusion of ~39,000 additional Property polygons across the state.

Surface Cover and Trees

A bug has been found in the update process for the GDA2020 version of Surface Cover and Trees. This has led to rasters not being updated consistently between the GDA94 and GDA2020 versions. This issue has been resolved and for this release all affected GDA2020 rasters have been updated and will now align with their GDA94 counterpart.
