  • Name is the value of the marinepark field if available in the source layer, otherwise it is determined based on the source layer
  • Excluded features where marinepark="void"
  • Transformed coordinate system of 15.shp from GDA2020 to GDA94
  • Excluded a total of 1,128 features by filtering
  • Combined features and attributes from 3 source layers
  • Dissolved 1,535 source features into 3 marine parks (Queensland)
  • Removed sliver holes <= 100.0 m² resulting from imprecise boundaries between dissolved areas
