Land access and heritage settings expanded to show individual reference layers and source dates.
Choose the individual layers you need and check their source dates. An enabled-layer count describes your map selection.

Understand the coverage

The Australian collection combines national sources with more detailed Western Australian coverage. Available categories include:

  • Aboriginal cultural heritage.
  • National, Commonwealth, and World Heritage context.
  • Land access reference areas.
  • Native title claims, determinations, and agreements.
  • Protected areas and conservation land.

Coverage is specific to each layer. A layer covering Western Australia does not establish coverage for every Australian state or another country.

Use the boundaries for an initial review

Compare your area of interest with the enabled layers and inspect the linked source information. Source dataset dates and Mineflow's last-check dates help you judge the currency of the view.
