I would prefer incremental additions, that is one-by-one, after checking what is already on the map. My major concern with any mass import is the effect on existing data. In particular where a new way is overlaid on an existing way, making editing more difficult. On parts of the NSW/VIC border, there are ten relations (two of which are protected areas) attached to a single way. It is manageable to alter relations if needed etc. but it is difficult if we have ten separate ways overlaid one on top of the other. For this reason I would prefer to see new areas added where appropriate, but adding new relations to existing ways where they exist.
OK, I'll start thinking in terms of a manual import. We'll have to come up with some way of being a bit systematic about putting them in, especially if more than one mapper wants to volunteer.
I have added some protected areas in NSW and SA using the approved government data sources. If there were any discrepancies, I would be inclined to prefer the state government sources although hopefully there will not be any significant discrepancies.
Yeah, I wasn't explicit enough about that. What I was trying to say is that NSW, SA, and Tas are "done" (or at least will have to be treated differently--check for completeness add operator tags, start dates etc ). I'd be prepared to bet that the CAPAD data is the States' data.
CAPAD may also have errors or omissions. For example, I had mapped Calperum Station in South Australia which is a non-government protected area but I could not see it in CAPAD map (although it may well be in the 2016 edition when it becomes available).
Turns out that's because Calperum Station is not a protected area under the definition used for CAPAD (because there is tourism development allowed it doesn't fall under a IUCN category). CAPAD only lists things that would be protect_class 1 to 6 in OSM. I think Calperum would be protect_class 7.
