Hi, I would like to add the boundary of the Googong Foreshores reserve which is located near the ACT but in NSW. It is a Commonwealth Land managed by the ACT government (however NSW law applies) and primarily provides a drinking water catchment and dam that supplies the ACT and Queanbeyan NSW. The reserve is also managed as a conservation area with many walking, mountain biking trails and allows fishing and kayaking in the dam lake.
The area is quite large with a 56km boundary and short of trying to walk the enitre boundary with GPS, or try to locate all the fences via aerial imagery I decided it was easier to just import the boundary. I initially emailed the ACT government to ask if they had the boundary in GIS format but had no response. However I then realised the NSW cadastral data shows the boundary as the reserve is all located in a single lot. Can I import this data? I note there is already permission from NSW to import topographical data into OSM and has been done extensively for other NSW nature reserves and national parks. What tags should I use? leisure=nature_reserve or one of the boundary=protected_area? If protected area, which level should I use? What other tags should I add? I was going to add name=Googong Foreshores, source:geometry=NSW LPI Base Map and source:date=2017-11-27 I checked in JOSM and the boundary appears to align well with other existing features, e.g. a fence and the other adjoining nature reserves. Thanks, Leith Bade le...@bade.nz
