					<statement>
						<gco:CharacterString>This dataset has been formed from a wide variety of disparate data sources, including vector, raster, and policy documentation.
This information has been collected across a range of temporal scales.
As such, there are variances in the data quality and accuracy. This is appropriately recorded in the DataQuality field in each polygon, and expanded in the Journal field in the index dataset
(If viewing in the web layer, this is visible in the pop up for each polygon)

Basic quality assurance has been undertaken as part of the report writing process and can be found in the following paper:
