Overlay the Ramsar and KBA boundaries with the Hobsons Bay boundary
Proposed · here's how you can help
For Hobsons Bay
1
Barrier
It is unknown how much of the Ramsar site and the KBA lies inside Hobsons Bay.
2
Proposed action
Load the official boundaries and compute the overlaps by code, recording them as co-located links with areas.
3
Done when
Co-located links with overlap areas are on the record, each citing the boundary datasets.
Still to work out: who leads it, what it costs, what it delivers, how it's monitored, what has to happen first.

How you can help
- Follow it. Get told when something here changes (coming)
- Add a source you know of. See the sources PLOT has, then send yours (coming)
- Ask the land manager. A ready-made question you can send (coming)
- Come to a walk. Local walks and working days (coming)

The reasoning
- Why
- A PLOT-side data task; no permission needed. Rests on: ramsar-hobsons-bay-overlap, ramsar-includes-cheetham-parts, kba-includes-cheetham.
- Assumes
- Official boundary files are available under a usable licence.
- Alternatives considered
- Ask DEECA directly; slower.
- Would change if
- A government source already states the overlap.
- Kind
- Proposal (a recommendation, not a finding)
- Who said it
- Drafted by AI
- Period
- as of 2026-10-21
