Hi Brendan, there appear to be 2 different versions of the Vic State Forests 
boundaries - one with “generalised” boundaries without lots of internal 
boundaries, and the other with the full dataset. I haven’t examined them to see 
how they differ. See these 2 web pages:

https://discover.data.vic.gov.au/dataset/state-forest-public-land-management-wms

https://discover.data.vic.gov.au/dataset/state-forest-generalised-public-land-management-wms

I don’t know whether we have permission to use these datasets and, like you, 
would be keen to find out. It’s difficult to work out precisely what Vic data 
we have permission to use, partly because the Vic gov has changed the way they 
have provided the data over the years and their current data file names differ 
from the general labels on the OSM wiki.

A metadata page for the State Forests data states that it’s a derived subset of 
the “ VMPROP.PARCEL_CROWN_APPROVED” base layer. I’m guessing that a key 
question is whether we have permission to use that base dataset? Keen to hear 
what everyone thinks.
