Abstract
The dataset was derived by the Bioregional Assessment Programme. This dataset was derived from multiple datasets. The parent datasets are identified in the Lineage Field in this metadata statement. The History Field in this metadata statement describes how this dataset was derived.
The dataset is a shapefile representing the approximate extents of the open cut pits (both existing and proposed) for the Stratford coal mine in the Gloucester sub-region. These were digitised from map images taken from Stratford Extension Project Environmental Impact Statement Appendix A - Groundwater Assessment. Figure A-2, pp A-76.

Dataset History
A map image from the report listed below was scanned. These were georectified to MGA 56 geotiffs using recognised features of known locations in the various map images as control points (e.g. road junctions, corners of administrative boundaries etc).
Selected features representing the open cut pits (both existing and proposed) shown on the map were manually digitised off the computer screen using a georectified map as a backdrop. Features were saved as ESRI shapefiles in the MGA z56 projection.
