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.

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.
