Maps are included in the report to give visual support to the facts and discussion presented within the report. Hence in some instances the extents and boundaries of the mapped features have been displayed at a different scale then the original data acquisition may have intended. This is particularly pertinent for the larger scale maps. The NSW Planning Assessment Commission advises that information presented on the maps should be used as a general guide only and not as the sole basis on which property scale management or resource allocation decisions are made. In particular, care should be taken in basing land use, development, or other decisions on mapped data relating to underground coal mine workings.
