A proponent (those who are proposing a development) must supply the maximum extent (location) of any proposed activities that need to be assessed under the EPBC Act through an application process.Referral boundaries should not be misinterpreted as development footprints but where referrals have been received by the Department. It should be noted that not all referrals captured within the Referrals Spatial Database, are assessed and approved by the Minister for the Environment, as some are withdrawn before assessment can take place. For more detailed information on a referral a URL is provided to the EPBC Act Public notices pages. Status and detailed planning documentation is available on the EPBC Act Public notices (http://epbcnotices.environment.gov.au/referralslist/).Post September 2019, this dataset is updated using a spatial data capture tool embedded within the Referral form on the department’s website. Users are able to supply spatial data in multiple formats, review spatial data online and submitted with the completed referral form automatically. Nightly processes update this dataset that are then available for internal staff to use (usually within 24 hours). Prior to September 2019, a manual process was employed to update this dataset. In the first instance where a proponent provides GIS data, this is loaded as the polygons for a referral. Where this doesn't exist other means to digitize boundaries are employed to provide a relatively accurate reflection of the maximum extent for which the referral may impact (it is not a development footprint). This sometimes takes the form of heads up digitizing planning documents, sourcing from other state databases (such as PSMA Australia) features and coordinates supplied through the application forms.Any variations to boundaries after the initial referral (i.e. during the assessment, approval or post-approval stages) are processed on an ad hoc basis through a manual update to the dataset. The REFERRALS_PUBLIC_MV layer is a materialized view that joins the spatial polygon data with the business data (e.g. name, case id, type etc.) about a referral. This layer is available for use by the public and is available via a web service and spatial data download.The data is updated weekly.</DIV></DIV></DIV> This data has been licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Australia Licence.

Through the assessment and approval process, boundaries may be updated by a proponent to reflect improved understanding of the extent of a development. Where advised ERIN update the EPBC Act Referrals Spatial Database to reflect these changes however no guarantee is given to this. Until early 2006 locational data was only stored as a 10 - 25km buffer around a site or pair of coordinates. Since then all sites have been accurately mapped and a program of remapping all buffered sites has been initiated and completed. Prior to September 2019, a manual process was employed to update this dataset. In the first instance where a proponent provides GIS data, this is loaded as the polygons for a referral. Where this doesn't exist other means to digitise boundaries are employed to provide a relatively accurate reflection of the maximum extent for which the referral may impact (it is not a development footprint). This sometimes takes the form of heads up digitising planning documents, sourcing from other state databases (such as PSMA Australia) features and coordinates supplied through the application forms. When a new referral is submitted existing departmental systems generate a unique referral ID based on the year and referral number (e.g. 2014/3928). The database only captures this referral ID and a short project title, however we also generate an external link to EPBC referral database where more detailed information on a referral can be found. Post September 2019, this dataset is updated using a spatial data capture tool embedded within the Referral form on the department’s website. Users are able to supply spatial data in multiple formats, review spatial data online and submitted with the completed referral form automatically. Nightly processes update this dataset that are then available for internal staff to use (usually within 24 hours). Absolute External Positional Accuracy Check 2019-05-01T00:00:00 Accuracy varies depending on the accuracy supplied by the proponent and the method of data entry by ERIN officers. 1 Non Quantitative Attribute Accuracy Check 20190501 The Referral loading tool constrains a user to a pick list of referral identifiers that a boundary can be loaded under. This reduces any human error that could occur when loading a referral. The area in hectares and referral IDs are automatically calculated to reduce errors. Attributes about a referral, for example name and status information, are imported from the Department's EPBC Chapter 4 database. 1 Conceptual Consistency Check 20190501 The Referral Gateway Section within EACD checks referral locations in referral applications using google maps. The coordinates are also validated by ERIN before loading into the spatial layer. Where referred boundaries are not a good representation of the referred spatial area, ERIN will refine boundaries using publicly available referral documents or the proponent is engaged to provide improved boundaries. 1 Completeness Omission Check 20190501 The data is for those assessments referred that fall under the EPBC Act. It does not include boundaries for State/Territory and local planning instruments. 1 6910 GCS_GDA_1994 EPSG 9.8(3.0.1) REFERRALS_PUBLIC_MV Feature Class 6910 SHAPE SHAPE Geometry 4 0 0 Feature geometry.
