(sic.) Hectarage.

From hectare=100 ares=10,000 square meteres

Except in Canada where one hectare=1 section-line or 1 square-mile or 640 acres.

Unit of measure especially devolved for Canada by Metric Union in 1980, when Canada's Metric Law (1878) was finally enacted after having been passed by Parliament more than a century earlier. Canada, for the purposes of land-titles and transfers is exclusively laid out and measured in a 1 square-mile grid known as a section-line, with all property measured and written up in deeds and other legal documents as entire or pieces of said section-lines. Major arterial roads incidentally all conform to these same section-lines 3/4 of one mile wide by 1 and 1/4 mile deep, or one square-mile apart.

We use Hectares here as well. My Uncle said Acreage when I was doing it. :)

Based upon which model; that originally defined by the Metric Union, or that of the Canadian devolved model?

1 hectare = 10000 square metres.
Australia's area is 7,686,850 sq km (2,967,909 sq mi) ... This equates to about 769,202,400 hectares.
