I have often wondered where the existing National Park data comes from. In general it seems to exist in OSM in quite high fidelity however the boundaries are usually not evident on the ground or imagery. Yet whenever I've looked back through histories I can't find any reasonable source or attribution tags.
However there is data at https://www.data.vic.gov.au/data/dataset/parks-and-conservation-reserves-parkres which is described as: *Parks and Conservation Reserves (PARKRES)* *PARKRES is a spatial representation of the Parks and Reserves Information Management System (PRIMS). This database lists Parks and Conservation Reserves under the policy control of the DELWP Parks and Protected Areas Branch. These include areas scheduled under the National Parks Act 1975, Nature Conservation Reserves, Natural Features Reserves, Regional Parks, Phillip Island Nature Park, Historic & Cultural Features Reserves, and Metropolitan Open Space Parks. Many of these areas are managed by Parks Victoria under a management agreement between the Minister for Environment and the Parks Victoria Board. PRIMS and PARKRES define the areas covered by this agreement. The aim of this layer is to eventually map all areas represented in PRIMS at 1:25,000 or better scale. This dataset updated from time to time, so is a snapshot of the parks and reserves system.* Included in the accuracy statement is: *Validation of the land manager attribute is continuing. This dataset does not provide definitive boundaries for areas scheduled under the National Parks Act 1975* Attribution to DELWP under CC BY 4.0 However I've no idea if this license is fully compatible, or if we have specific permission. For existing parks and lack of source, look at Mornington Peninsula NP http://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/3361243/history#map=17/-38.44856/144.95120 in that location the shape is completely non-obvious on the ground, and there's no attribution I can see.
