This dataset presents information from National Land Account, Experimental Estimates, Land use, cover and tenure, Statistical Area Level 2, 2011 and 2016: Table 8.3 Physical Account of Land Cover for 2010 and 2015 by Statistical Areas Level 2 (SA2s), 2016, from the Australian Statistical Geography Standard (ASGS) Edition 2.

This webservice is part of a set of 2016 National Land Account Experimental Estimates that provide statistics to measure changes in land attributes over time, both from an economic and an environmental perspective.

The National Land Account was produced by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) and released under the Common national approach to environmental-economic accounting in Australia. These experimental estimates were developed in collaboration with the Department of Agriculture, Water and the Environment (now Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water) and Geoscience Australia (GA), including their respective internal research areas: Australian Bureau of Agricultural and Resource Economics and Sciences (ABARES) and Digital Earth Australia (DEA).

Further information on the National Land Account, Experimental Estimates methodology can be found here.

Data considerations
The input data was not collected or validated at SA2 level. Classes with small estimates are less reliable and should be used with caution. Any discrepancies between totals and sums of components in this publication are due to rounding.

Zeros can be real zeros (or rounded to zero), or data that is not available.

SA2s that cover Christmas Island, Cocos (Keeling) Islands, Lord Howe Island and Norfolk Island are not in scope of the account and do not contain values.

Made possible by the Digital Atlas of Australia
The Digital Atlas of Australia is an Australian Government initiative being led by Geoscience Australia. It will bring together trusted datasets from across government in an interactive, secure, and easy-to-use geospatial platform. The Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) is working in partnership with Geoscience Australia to establish a set of web services to make ABS data available in the Digital Atlas.
