Agree with Andrew that perhaps leave off boundary=protected_area for now, until further clarification is received.
Looking at the DPC media releases, budget changes were announced https://www.premier.vic.gov.au/delivering-certainty-timber-workers and VicForests had a similar statement at the time https://www.vicforests.com.au/publications-media/latest-news/vicforests-statement-regarding-native-timber-harvesting and modified their Timber Release Plan to align to the cessation date. However I can't find yet if any specific legislation has been passed to alter the current state of the State Forest protections or boundaries on Crown land. I agree landuse=forest should be removed from the State Forest boundaries in general, however will still be needed for "farm forests" plantation timber on private land (landuse=forest, operator=VicForests, produce=timber). Always agree that vegetation mapping should be separate to administrative boundary mapping :) On Sun, 7 Jan 2024 at 12:44, Graeme Fitzpatrick <graemefi...@gmail.com> wrote: > Sounds good to me! > > Thanks > > Graeme > > > On Sun, 7 Jan 2024 at 11:15, Andrew Davidson <thesw...@gmail.com> wrote: > >> I would leave off boundary=protected_area until they have IUCN >> Categories assigned.
