Department.
CRIS also provides the following services to
clients inside and outside the agency.

• A range of existing web maps called Reporting
  Interfaces available on-line 24/7.

Overview of data resources.
The Department of Agriculture WA holds a number
of datasets relating the the infrastructure of
Western Australian rural industries and natural
resources.
These include
A state-wide property spatial database - this
includes links to management and business

Overview of data resources.
Soil-landscape resources - soil-landscape mapping
at scales between 150,000 and 1250,000
Vegetation extent in Western Australia at scales
between 120,000 and 1100,000.
A consistent pre-European (pre-clearing)
vegetation type dataset for the whole state. A
dataset for current vegetation extent-by-type can
be generated by intersecting the two vegetation
datasets.
Areas of vegetation protected through the Office
of the Commissioner for Soil and Land
Conservation and various funding schemes eg
Remnant Vegetation Protection Scheme.
