Components

The Trees product will include raster components. The data is separated into each State and Territory, with the exception that ACT and NSW are combined. Also, ACT/NSW includes Jervis Bay Territory raster data. Raster data will be made available using only the Tagged Image File Format described below with the AUT tables made available in DBF.

Accompanying the Trees product are two shapefiles, RASTER_INDEX and CAPTURE_DATE_INDEX, that assist in using and navigating the raster data. The RASTER_INDEX is comprised of simple polygons that represent the boundaries of Areas of Interest (AOIs). The CAPTURE_DATE_INDEX is comprised of complex polygons grouped by id, state, zone and capture_date attributes.
