Queensland's spatial cadastre datasets are changing! From a planned date of 1 July 2025 the current Digital Cadastral Database (DCDB) will be migrated to an entirely new operating environment, and there will be some changes to the data provided. Visit our Spatial Applications Support page (https://spatial-qld-support.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/QSUITE/pages/1067515932/Cadastre+and+Address+Modernisation+CAM) for more information.The Digital Cadastre is the spatial representation of every current parcel of land in Queensland, and its legal Lot on Plan description and relevant attributes. It provides the map base for systems dealing with land-related information. The Digital Cadastre is considered to be the point of truth for the graphical representation of property boundaries. It is not the point of truth for the legal property boundary or related attribute information, this will always be the plan of survey or the related titling information and administrative data sets. This data is updated weekly on Sunday.Data dictionary https://www.publications.qld.gov.au/dataset/queensland-digital-cadastral-database-supporting-documents/resource/b59bb1a1-3818-4754-8dc4-3669f0ec3f8b Spatial cadastre accuracy map https://www.publications.qld.gov.au/dataset/queensland-digital-cadastral-database-supporting-documents/resource/d6f029ad-b3a4-428b-bcf1-2f7c7326132b

The Digital Cadastral DataBase (DCDB) is the spatial representation of the property boundaries and the related property descriptions of Queensland. The DCDB provides the map base for systems dealing with land and land related information. This dataset is updated nightly from the Queensland Digital Cadastral Database (DCDB). The layer shows all property parcel types.

Abstract

This dataset and its metadata statement were supplied to the Bioregional Assessment Programme by a third party and are presented here as originally supplied.

The cadastral dataset is the spatial representation of property boundaries and descriptions in the following QLD local government areas:

Barcaldine

Blackall Tambo

Bulloo

Central Highlands

Charters Towers

Flinders

Isaac

Longreach

Maranoa

Murweh

Paroo

Quilpie

Richmond

Winton

It is a fundamental reference layer for spatial information systems in Queensland. This is a complete extract from the digital cadastral database (DCDB). A lite version of the DCDB is available from the Queensland Government Information Service website. Attributes are described in the "QIF file specifications" at http://www.nrm.qld.gov.au/property/mapping/dcdata/index.html#data_attributes .

Dataset History

Lineage statement:

The DCDB was captured by digitising the best available cadastral mapping at a variety of scales and map accuracies. These mapping scales ranged from Standard 1:2500 to 1:250000, Provisional 1:2500 to 1:253400 and mapping such as Parish, Locality, Environ and Town maps. At the initial capture, existing control identified from the Survey Control Database, standard cadastral and topographic mapping, photogrammetric and orthophoto compilations and this control was used as part of the digitising process. Additional control was requested if necessary. The DCDB is continuously updated by inputting metes and bounds descriptions from registered plans of subdivision and from any attribute updates from government gazettes and other administrative notifications. The DCDB is being upgraded for an improved positional accuracy, this is an ongoing process. In October 2000, the datum of DCDB was converted from AGD84 values. A distortion model based on a Queensland grid was used in the transformation process for the conversion of the DCDB co-ordinate values from AGD84 to GDA94. The distortion grid used is QLD_0900.gsb. The DCDB includes polygons and feature names for parts of the sea adjoining the coastline of Queensland. The spatial representation of any part of the sea has been delineated in the DCDB by the construction of polygons. The feature names assigned to those polygons have been obtained from a variety of sources, Topographic Maps, Navigation Charts, local usage, etc. Indeterminable Extent, the delineation in the DCDB of the extent of any part of the sea by the creation of construction lines for each polygon is to permit the inclusion of the feature name only. The construction lines are not warranted to be the actual boundaries of any water feature or to be accurate or complete.

Process step:

The DCDB data, in DCDB transfer format (IFO), is FTP'd to the Spatial Information Resource server every fortnight where it is transformed into the Spatial Information Resource (SIR) ArcSDE Geodatabase.Note: the MapInfo dataset was generated/transformed/derived from the ARCSDE dataset.

Abstract

This dataset and its metadata statement were supplied to the Bioregional Assessment Programme by a third party and are presented here as originally supplied.

This dataset is a complete state-wide digital land use map of Queensland. The dataset is a product of the Queensland Land Use Mapping Program (QLUMP) and was produced by the Queensland Government. It presents the most current mapping of land use features for Queensland, including the land use mapping products from 1999, 2006 and 2009, in a single feature layer. This dataset was last updated July 2012. See additional information also.

Purpose

Indicates the current primary use or management objective of the land.

Dataset History

Source DataQueensland Government - Land use mapping (1999); Landsat TM and ETM imagery; Spot5 imagery; High resolution ortho photography through the Spatial Imagery Subscription Plan (SISP); Queensland Digital Cadastral Database (DCDB) (2009), Queensland Valuation and Sales Database (QVAS) (2009); Queensland Nature Refuges (2009); Queensland Estates (2009); Queensland Herbarium's Regional Ecosystem, Water Body and Wetlands datasets (2009); Statewide Landcover & Trees Study (SLATS) Queensland Dams and Waterbodies (2009) and land cover change data; scanned aerial photography (1999-2009).Additional verbal & written information on land uses & their locations was obtained from regional Queensland Government officers, Local Government Authorities, land owners & managers, private industry as well as from field observations & checking.Data captureA range of existing digital datasets containing land use information was collated from the Queensland Government spatial data inventory and prepared for use in a GIS using ArcGIS and ERDAS Imagine software.Processing steps To compile the 1999 baseline mapping, datasets containing baseline land cover (supplied by SLATS), Protected Areas, State Forest and Timber Reserves, plantations, coastal wetlands, reserves (from DCDB) and logged forests were interpreted in a spatial model to produce a preliminary land use raster image.The model incorporated a decision matrix which assigned each pixel a specific land use class according to a set of pre-determined rules.Individual catchments were clipped from the model output and enhanced with additional land use information interpreted primarily from Landsat TM and ETM imagery as well as scanned and hardcopy aerial photography (where available). The DCDB and other datasets containing land use information were used to help identify property and land use type boundaries. This process produced a draft land use raster.Verification of the draft land use dataset, particularly those with significant areas of intensive land uses, was undertaken by comparing mapped land use classes with observed land use classes in the field where possible. The final raster image was converted to a vector coverage in ARC/Info and GIS editing performed.The existing 1999 baseline (or later where available) land use dataset (vector) formed the basis for the 2006 and 2009 land use mapping. The 2006 & 2009 datasets were then updated primarily by interpretation of SPOT5 imagery, high-res orthophotography, scanned aerial photography and inclusion of expert local knowledge. This was performed in an ESRI ArcSDE geodatabase replication infrastructure, across some nine regional offices. The DCDB, QVAS, Estates, Queensland Herbarium wetlands and SLATS land cover change and waterbody datasets were used to assist in identification and delineation of property and land use type boundaries. Digitised areas of uniform land use type were assigned to land use classes according to ALUMC Version 7 (May 2010).This "current" land use mapping product presents a complete state-wide land use map of Queensland, after collating the most current land use datasets within a single mapping layer.An independent validation was undertaken to assess thematic (attribute) accuracy under the ALUM classification. Please refer to the orignal source data for the validation results.

This polygon dataset shows the position and names of Recreational Areas within the State of Queensland. Recreational areas include: - civic Squares, gardens, golf gourses, miscellaneous areas (e.g. basketball courts, bowling clubs, caravan parks, netball courts, tennis courts, velodromes , ovals, parks, race courses, racetracks, rifle Ranges, showgrounds, zoos). This purpose of this dataset is to provide the position and names of Recreational Areas for use in Land Administration,Topographic Mapping and in the production of Navigational and Web Based Mapping applications. Additional Information: This data has been compiled from numerous sources to produce a state wide coverage with the boundaries aligned in most cases with the Queensland Digital Cadastral Database (DCDB)or captured from the best available imagery with an attribute within the data describing the source and reliability. Source data include: Queensland digital cadastral database, Queensland regional mapping, Queensland orthophotography, satellite imagery, Geoscience Australia, community and government websites. The horizontal positional accuracy of the data that has been used to compile this dataset is as follows: Orthophotography +/- 1m, Satellite Imagery +/- 2.5m. The horizontal positional accuracy of DCDB is dependent on the accuracy of the DCDB at the time of extraction.Initially for whole of state data capture, the location of the features was sourced from existing government topographic maps, regional maps and photogrammetric data. The features were validated against current orthophotography and satellite imagery and modified where necessary. The location and names of parks were extracted from the Queensland Digital Cadastral Database (DCDB). The data had been loaded into the DCDB from a "Park and Canal Name Attribute Project" commenced in September 1999 for data acquisition for PSMA. For golf courses, the address of the feature was sourced from the Queensland Golf Union Website. The address was then used to identify the Lot/Plan description in the DCDB that formed the extent of the feature. The features were validated against current orthophotography and satellite imagery and modified where the spatial accuracy of the DCDB was outside 25k topographic data specifications. For rifle ranges, the address of the feature was sourced from the Queensland Rifle Association Website. The address was then used to identify the Lot/Plan description in the DCDB that formed the extent of the feature. The features were validated against current orthophotography and satellite imagery and modified where the spatial accuracy of the DCDB was outside 25k topographic data specifications. For racecourses, the address of the feature was sourced from the Queensland Racing Website. The address was then used to identify the Lot/Plan description in the DCDB that formed the extent of the feature. The features were validated against current orthophotography and satellite imagery and modified where the spatial accuracy of the DCDB was outside 25k topographic data specifications. Features for ongoing data capture are sourced from government and community websites and National Park maps and their location is digitized from current orthophotography and satellite imagery. Additional data is supplied by Geoscience Australia as part of their 25K large scale data capture and commitment to the National Topographic Information Coordination Initiative (NTICI). In most cases these features have been identified through fieldwork by Geoscience Australia staff.

This dataset includes boundaries for sealed plans in Brisbane City Council area before they are registered and updated in Queensland Government Digital Cadastral Database (DCDB).If a development involves subdivision (changes to plan boundaries), Council will seal (endorse) the survey plan once the development is finalised and all relevant conditions of the approval and other lodgement requirements are met.Once the plan is sealed, Council records the change to the plan boundary within this dataset. Sealed Plan boundaries will remain in this dataset until registered with the Queensland Government, and subsequently updated within their Digital Cadastre Database (DCDB). Sealed plan boundaries that are never registered with the Queensland Government will remain in this dataset indefinitely.More information about plan sealing can be found on the Brisbane City Council website.
