Hi Brendan, there appear to be 2 different versions of the Vic State Forests boundaries - one with “generalised” boundaries without lots of internal boundaries, and the other with the full dataset. I haven’t examined them to see how they differ. See these 2 web pages:

https://discover.data.vic.gov.au/dataset/state-forest-public-land-management-wms

https://discover.data.vic.gov.au/dataset/state-forest-generalised-public-land-management-wms

I don’t know whether we have permission to use these datasets and, like you, would be keen to find out. It’s difficult to work out precisely what Vic data we have permission to use, partly because the Vic gov has changed the way they have provided the data over the years and their current data file names differ from the general labels on the OSM wiki.

A metadata page for the State Forests data states that it’s a derived subset of the “ VMPROP.PARCEL_CROWN_APPROVED” base layer. I’m guessing that a key question is whether we have permission to use that base dataset? Keen to hear what everyone thinks.
