The project zones layer contains the extent of project zones used for completing engineering grade survey to Main Roads specifications and standards. Both GDA94 and GDA2020 project zones are available.This data is used for road investigation, planning, design, construction and asset management.Data Dictionary: https://bit.ly/2Q8hgaB Show full description

This dataset is a simple polygon layer of rectangular cells aligned to 1 minute increments of the GDA94 latitude/longitude graticule. It is designed for use as an indexing mechanism for point record observations of flora and fauna. The layer covers an area of south-east Australia extending from 139 degrees to 151 degrees 30 minutes EAST and 33 degrees to 42 degrees SOUTH. It thus incorporates substantial areas of South Australia and New South Wales plus all of Bass Strait and the north coast of Tasmania.

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 polygons in this dataset are a digital representation of the distribution or extent of geological units within the areas of Regional map products. Polygons have a range of attributes including rock unit name, dominant rock, rock unit type, age, lithological description and an abbreviated map symbol for use in labelling the polygons. The lines in this dataset are a digital representation of the position of the boundaries of geological units and other linear features such as faults, bedding trends, dykes, fold axial traces, jointing patterns and other unassigned lineaments. The lines are attributed with an ID, the description of the structure, the type category of structure represented, the capture source and capture scale of the data.

The spatial data source is the GSQ Geology Enterprise ArcSDE Geodatabase with the attribute data either held in the geodatabase or sourced from oracle tables in the Department's Geoscience and Resources Database (GRDB), a component of the Mineral and Energy Resources Location and Information Network (MERLIN) corporate database.

The digital data is provided in geographic co-ordinates (Lat/Long) based on the Geocentric Datum of Australia - GDA94.

Metadata for the Queensland Geological Mapping Data is contained in .html files placed in the root folder of each 1:250 000 tile or Regional sheet tile. For ArcMap users metadata for viewing in ArcCatalog is held in an .xml file with each shapefile within the ESRI Shapefile folders.

Dataset History

GEOLDATA for detailed geology was in many cases previously compiled from field mapping over 1:100 000 map extents. These were completed by different geologists sometimes over many field seasons, with different interpretations. The DVD 1 detailed geology dataset has been extracted from the Geodatabase using a GDA94 standard 1:250 000 map tile extent. The DVD 2 detailed geology dataset has been provided as a statewide extract. Edge matching between the 100K tile edges within this 250K extent may still be in progress. The geological data will be seamless where the field mapping was completed for a specific project extent e.g. Yarrol Province.

The original data capture over most of the 100K tile extents, was compiled based on the Australian Geodetic Datum 1966. This data was projected to GDA94 for inclusion in the geodatabase.

The data required to be captured for a specific 100K tile based on AGD66, will not be exactly the same as that needed to cover a 100K tile extent based on GDA94. Currently, there may still exist in a few situations, a 'gap' in geological information between adjoining sheets at the outer edges of project areas. These 'gaps' may occur where older project areas were field mapped and captured for ADG66 map production, and they abut more recent project areas which were field mapped and captured for GDA94 map production. Edge mapping adjustments are to be made.

Similarly GEOLDATA for regional datasets were previously compiled from 1:500 000 or 1:1000 000 hard copy maps which were based on the Australian Geodetic Datum 1966 and so their map boundary latitude and longitudes were derived from that AGD66 Datum.

The digital data captured from these maps was projected to GDA94 for migration to the Geodatabase, and so the GDA94 lat/long extents of the datasets will not coincide with the same lat and long values of the original AGD66 drawn map graticule.

Data matching between Regional Datasets will seldom occur.

Geoscience Australia has been deriving raster sediment datasets for the continental Australian Exclusive Economic Zone (AEEZ) using existing marine samples collected by Geoscience Australia and external organisations. Since seabed sediment data are collected at sparsely and unevenly distributed locations, spatial interpolation methods become essential tools for generating spatially continuous information. Previous studies have examined a number of factors that affect the performance of spatial interpolation methods. These factors include sample density, data variation, sampling design, spatial distribution of samples, data quality, correlation of primary and secondary variables, and interaction among some of these factors. Apart from these factors, a spatial reference system used to define sample locations is potentially another factor and is worth investigating. In this study, we aim to examine the degree to which spatial reference systems can affect the predictive accuracy of spatial interpolation methods in predicting marine environmental variables in the continental AEEZ. Firstly, we reviewed spatial reference systems including geographic coordinate systems and projected coordinate systems/map projections, with particular attention paid to map projection classification, distortion and selection schemes; secondly, we selected eight systems that are suitable for the spatial prediction of marine environmental data in the continental AEEZ. These systems include two geographic coordinate systems (WGS84 and GDA94) and six map projections (Lambert Equal-area Azimuthal, Equidistant Azimuthal, Stereographic Conformal Azimuthal, Albers Equal-Area Conic, Equidistant Conic and Lambert Conformal Conic); thirdly, we applied two most commonly used spatial interpolation methods, i.e. inverse distance squared (IDS) and ordinary kriging (OK) to a marine dataset projected using the eight systems. The accuracy of the methods was assessed using leave-one-out cross validation in terms of their predictive errors and, visualization of prediction maps. The difference in the predictive errors between WGS84 and the map projections were compared using paired Mann-Whitney test for both IDW and OK. The data manipulation and modelling work were implemented in ArcGIS and R. The result from this study confirms that the little shift caused by the tectonic movement between WGS84 and GDA94 does not affect the accuracy of the spatial interpolation methods examined (IDS and OK). With respect to whether the unit difference in geographical coordinates or distortions introduced by map projections has more effect on the performance of the spatial interpolation methods, the result shows that the accuracies of the spatial interpolation methods in predicting seabed sediment data in the SW region of AEEZ are similar and the differences are considered negligible, both in terms of predictive errors and prediction map visualisations. Among the six map projections, the slightly better prediction performance from Lambert Equal-Area Azimuthal and Equidistant Azimuthal projections for both IDS and OK indicates that Equal-Area and Equidistant projections with Azimuthal surfaces are more suitable than other projections for spatial predictions of seabed sediment data in the SW region of AEEZ. The outcomes of this study have significant implications for spatial predictions in environmental science. Future spatial prediction work using a data density greater than that in this study may use data based on WGS84 directly and may not have to project the data using certain spatial reference systems. The findings are applicable to spatial predictions of both marine and terrestrial environmental variables.

1:10Million - The key source for production of the Builtup Areas, Drainage, Framework, Localities, Rail Transport, Road Transport and Waterbodies layers was the GEODATA TOPO 250K Series 1 product. Some revision of the Builtup Areas, Road Transport, Rail Transport and Waterbodies layers was carried out using the latest available satelite imagery. The primary source for the Spot Heights, Contours and Offshore layers was the GEODATA TOPO 10M Version 1 product. A further element to the production of GEODATA TOPO 10M 2002 has been the datum shift from the Australian Geodetic Datum 1966 (AGD66) to the Geocentric Datum of Australia 1994 (GDA94).

The Geological Survey of Queensland (GSQ) has released this Queensland Geology Digital Data update to replace the previous 2008 Geoldata release. Spatial and Graphic Services within GSQ have undertaken a major redevelopment to migrate existing data to an Enterprise Geodatabase. Our ArcInfo workstation platform has been retired. This has allowed us to utilise the inherent data validation, integrity checking and relationship features of the geodatabase to provide improved data quality. As this is a major milestone, as well as making the data available on this DVD, we are incorporating the Detailed, Regional and Queensland Geology polygonised vector data into the Interactive Resource and Tenure Maps (IRTM) system for display, query and download of ESRI shape files. Along with new project work, GSQ will continue a maintenance program of the enterprise Geodatabase to edge-match, correct topology and complete a State-wide polygonised vector best scale dataset. It is proposed that data releases will become more frequent. When changes are considered substantial by the Geoscience Manager, digital data will be extracted and a new Geoldata DVD released. This DVD data was extracted from the feature datasets in the GSQ Geology Enterprise Geodatabase in early November 2011. This edition provides new and updated geology over the North-West Queensland Mineral and Energy Province, Hodgkinson Province, South-East Queensland, North Connors Province and Drummond Basin. Seamless data is provided within each of these areas and topological errors have been corrected for NWQMEP and Drummond Basin, while validation in other areas is ongoing and will be available in future releases. For the NWQMEP, Georgetown and Charters Towers GIS areas solid geology interpretation has been completed and is provided as an additional dataset. This edition also includes the August 2012 release of the new Queensland Structural Framework and Queensland Geology. Dataset History GEOLDATA for detailed geology was in many cases previously compiled from field mapping over 1:100 000 map extents. These were completed by different geologists sometimes over many field seasons, with different interpretations. The DVD 1 detailed geology dataset has been extracted from the Geodatabase using a GDA94 standard 1:250 000 map tile extent. The DVD 2 detailed geology dataset has been provided as a statewide extract. Edge matching between the 100K tile edges within this 250K extent may still be in progress. The geological data will be seamless where the field mapping was completed for a specific project extent e.g. Yarrol Province. The original data capture over most of the 100K tile extents, was compiled based on the Australian Geodetic Datum 1966. This data was projected to GDA94 for inclusion in the geodatabase. The data required to be captured for a specific 100K tile based on AGD66, will not be exactly the same as that needed to cover a 100K tile extent based on GDA94. Currently, there may still exist in a few situations, a 'gap' in geological information between adjoining sheets at the outer edges of project areas. These 'gaps' may occur where older project areas were field mapped and captured for ADG66 map production, and they abut more recent project areas which were field mapped and captured for GDA94 map production. Edge mapping adjustments are to be made. Similarly GEOLDATA for regional datasets were previously compiled from 1:500 000 or 1:1000 000 hard copy maps which were based on the Australian Geodetic Datum 1966 and so their map boundary latitude and longitudes were derived from that AGD66 Datum. The digital data captured from these maps was projected to GDA94 for migration to the Geodatabase, and so the GDA94 lat/long extents of the datasets will not coincide with the same lat and long values of the original AGD66 drawn map graticule. Data matching between Regional Datasets will seldom occur. Dataset Citation Geological Survey of Queensland (2012) QLD Geological Digital Data - QLD Geology, Structural Framework, November 2012.

Exploration Graticules Polygons for Zone 55 are used as the main boundaries for Exploration Licences since 1973 - GDA94 - Effective 1st July 2005

Polygon depicting the Treaty between the Government of Australia and the Government of the Republic of Indonesia establishing an Exclusive Economic Zone Boundary and Certain Seabed Boundaries (Perth, 14 march 1997) [1997] ATNIF 9 - Area of overlapping jurisdiction over which Australia exercises sovereign rights over the seabed and Indonesia sovereign rights over the water column. Services created from the original treaty documents and densified using the line geometry defined in the treaty (geodesic or loxodromic) with a vertex placed at least every 0.5 nautical miles. This will ensure the geometry of the lines is preserved regardless of projection utilised by a Geographic Information System. Where the original datum of the treaty is not specified as GDA94, all defined points have been transformed by Geoscience Australia's National Geospatial Reference Systems Section to GDA94.

Data used in the development of the "Australian Petroleum Blocks" product series, including the series precursor, "Australian Graticular Framework DRAFT (AMB2006) V0.9", (Geocat 76661, July 2013).

This is a collection of material and data used in the development of the Australian Petroleum Block product series. It contains: * Source documentation * XML files representing the AGD66 graticular section * AGD66 to GDA94 transformation results * GDA94 graticular blocks * GDA94 graticular blocks cut by the outer limit of Australia's continental shelf (including treaties) * GDA94 graticular blocks cut by the outer limit of Australia's continental shelf (including treaties) and cut by the Scheduled Areas.

The dataset was created internally by Geoscience Australia using the framework described in Section 33 of the Offshore Petroleum and Greenhouse Gas Storage Act 2006 (OPGGS Act) and previous Acts. The international, scheduled areas and coastal waters used in this dataset are those found in the current Australian Maritime Boundary Dataset (AMB2006). The dataset is comprised of both polygons and points created to very high precision, accurate to within millimetres. The blocks have been cut by Australia's international boundaries, the scheduled areas and the coastal waters. Each block is assigned a polygon, including partial blocks. All blocks are titled with their block ID, and a list of vertices that make up the blocks. Each vertex of the dataset is also replicated as a discrete point in the points dataset. The design of the dataset allows for the exact location of every vertex to be know to millimetre precision. The corner coordinates of blocks are now defined to a high precision, and can be found by querying the appropriate point. Existing production licences AC/P17, AC/RL4, and AC/RL5 are included in the dataset. The blocks are attributed with fields containing information on: Block ID Parent 1 Million Mapsheet Offshore Area Epoch of the boundaries used to cut the data: AMB2006 Datum Origin of the mapsheet in AGD66 The position of all vertices in the block The number of vertices in the block The area of the block in acres The area of the block in hectares The calculation used to find the area of the blocks is estimated to be precise to better than 1%.

A dataset depicting the spatial extent and location of the designated shipping areas within the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park (GBRMP), located off the coast of Queensland, Australia. The dataset was created by the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority (GBRMPA) in 2004 to show where shipping can occur in the GBRMP as per the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Zoning Plan 2003.For further information refer to the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Zoning Plan 2003, Schedule 1, Part 10.

This dataset is available on Brisbane City Council’s open data website – data.brisbane.qld.gov.au. The site provides additional features for viewing and interacting with the data and for downloading the data in various formats.

This dataset contains download links for the contours mapped over the Brisbane City Council local government area in 2002. The contours data uses the Geocentric Datum of Australia 1994 (GDA94) datum and is projected in Zone 56 of the Map Grid of Australia (MGA56).

Dataset Downloads The dataset map provides two download options for each grid envelope:

• DWG: Predefined attachments associated with the grid envelope.
• JSON: Uses the ESRI Rest API to extract complete contour lines, that have any part of the contour line, within the grid envelope. This option allows you to define a custom envelope.

To download a file in the dataset map, click on a grid envelope, select the download type, click the download link.

Custom Envelope If you need contour lines for a specific area, you can create a custom envelope. By following these steps, you can easily download contour lines for any specific area within the dataset:

1. Determine Custom Coordinates: Find the latitude and longitude (coordinates) for the top-left and bottom-right corners of your specific area.
2. Replace Coordinates: Replace the coordinates in any JSON download link with your custom coordinates.

Coordinate Format The coordinate format in the JSON download links is:

(top left corner)longitude,latitude,(bottom right corner)longitude,latitude

The Data and resources section of this dataset contains further information for this dataset including links to additional contours feature layers.

The dataset shows MDB Water Quality Regions / Zones as at March 2010. The dataset has been derived from the SRA Valley Zones as created by Sustainable Rivers Audit (SRA) program in Murray Darling Basin Authority (MDBA) which is a comprehensive assessment of river health taken in the Murray Darling Basin. This dataset was constructed in GDA94 coordinate system, using the Australian Water Resources Council (AWRC) catchment layer and were then subdivided into altitude zones. These altitude zones correspond to one of seven categories: Montane, Upland, Slopes, Lowland, Upper, Middle, Lower and Mt Lofty.

The water quality regions have been defined using similar geomorphologic and geophysical landscape characteristics. The amalgamations of altitude zones were determined, using similar water quality parameter values. The water quality regions as defined by this dataset have been used in the guide to the Basin Plan.

Geoscience Australia has the primary role in the delineation of Australia's domestic and international maritime limits and boundaries. An output of this activity is the development of the Australian Maritime Boundaries (AMB) data. AMB is a GIS data product, replacing Australian Maritime Boundaries 2014a (AMB2014a), providing access to the data for Australia's maritime zones. AMB is a digital representation of Australia's limits and boundaries as established under the Seas and Submerged Lands Act 1973 and associated proclamations. The data also include a representation of the limits by which the scheduled and offshore areas of each of the States and of the Northern Territory are determined under the Offshore Petroleum and Greenhouse Gas Storage Act 2006 (OPGGSA). In the event of an inconsistency between AMB data and the limits under any legislation, the latter prevails. The data have been published by Geoscience Australia in consultation with other relevant Commonwealth Government agencies including the Attorney-General's Department, the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade and the Australian Hydrographic Office.

AMB data comprise the territorial straight baselines and the outer limits of each zone, together with maritime boundaries determined by treaties between Australia and neighbouring countries. All data coordinates are supplied in the GDA94 datum. The data reflects the location of the coastline within the constraints of available source material at the time of production. AMB Data can also be viewed on-line via AMSIS (http://www.ga.gov.au/marine/jurisdiction/amsis.html). Product Specifications Coverage: Australia including all external territories Currency: December 2020. Coordinates: Geographical Datum: GDA94 (functionally equivalent to WGS84). Format: ESRI Geodatabase and REST web service - free online. The area of coverage of the AMB data is for the whole of the Australian marine jurisdiction which includes waters adjacent to the mainland, offshore islands and External Territories. The geographical extent is approximately between the latitude limits of 7 S to 70 S and the longitude limits 40 E to 175 E.

This dataset includes the following disclaimer: AMB data is a digital representation of the territorial sea baseline and of the outer limits of Australia's maritime zones. The baseline and zones are established under the Seas and Submerged Lands Act 1973. The data also includes a representation of the limits by which the waters adjacent to each of the Australian States and of the Northern Territory are determined under the Coastal Waters (State Powers) Act 1980, Coastal Waters (Northern Territory Powers) Act 1980 and the Offshore Petroleum and Greenhouse Gas Storage Act 2006. In the event of an inconsistency between AMB data and the baselines and limits under the legislation, the latter prevails.

NSW Federal Electoral Division is a feature class within the Administrative boundaries theme. It represents a gazetted area of a federal electoral division that has been defined by redistribution. Australian Electoral Commission is responsible for this dataset. Any changes that occur to the dataset should have a reference in the authority of reference feature class in the Administrative boundaries. Features are typically positioned in alignment within the extents of the cadastral polygons and NSW Lot and Property data changes impact this dataset.

Metadata Type Esri Feature Service Update Frequency As required Contact Details Contact us via the Spatial Services Customer Hub Relationship to Themes and Datasets Administrative Boundaries Theme of the Foundation Spatial Data Framework (FSDF) Accuracy The dataset maintains a positional relationship to, and alignment with, the Lot and Property digital datasets. This dataset was captured by digitising the best available cadastral mapping at a variety of scales and accuracies, ranging from 1:500 to 1:250 000 according to the National Mapping Council of Australia, Standards of Map Accuracy (1975). Therefore, the position of the feature instance will be within 0.5mm at map scale for 90% of the well-defined points. That is, 1:500 = 0.25m, 1:2000 = 1m, 1:4000 = 2m, 1:25000 = 12.5m, 1:50000 = 25m and 1:100000 = 50m. A program of positional upgrade (accuracy improvement) is currently underway.
