Disease Risk Areas - Perth

GPX waypoint files can be imported as Private Places to your account which you can sync to ExplorOz Traveller however GPX boundary areas cannot as they are not GPX waypoints.

I think the DRA areas change too frequently for this to be a viable thing to add to the base map in EOTopo where we already have many other boundary areas such as forestry, native title etc. We have just compiled all this for the next release of EOTopo just 3 days ago so be quick if you want it in the base data then it can be - we just have to stop the map build and add it, and recompile - but be sure this is data that isn't going to change frequently. Greg maybe you can comment?

Hello Michelle

I don't really know how often they (DBCA) update DRA boundaries but don't think its is very often. The metadata statement says that it is "updated" every year (last updated on 2019-02-20) but that doesn't mean it actually changes...just that it is reviewed I suppose. The information is pretty handy as it shows areas where you cant drive (except on some main arterial roads) - so good for planning.

Hello

I think the main control is by trying to prevent unfettered access to vehicles but difficult (impossible in fact) to control give the number of 4WD/motorbike cowboys out and about who will ignore signs and destroy gates.
