The waterways displayed help identify waterways defined by the Fisheries Act 1994 and also the fisheries interest in waterways providing for fish passage (a matter of State environmental significance under the Environmental Offsets Act 2014). See additional information also.

The Watercourse Identification Map (WIM) [Water Act 2000 section 5AA]series: watercourses, drainage features, downstream limits, lakes, springs.

This web map service displays the watercourse network and areas of inland surface water in Queensland. Water areas include lakes,reservoir and man-made canals.This service is limited to display at scales between 1:4,513 and 1:1, and is designed to be used in conjunction with the WaterCoursesAndBodiesCache service for small scale levels from 1:4,622,325 to 1:4514 .

This dataset maps the geomorphic habitat environments (facies) for 213 Queensland coastal waterways. This version of the dataset includes 73 newly mapped estuaries, classified as 'Near pristine'. The classification system contains 12 easily identifiable and representative environments: Barrier/back-barrier, Bedrock, Central Basin, Channel, Coral, Flood- and Ebb-tide Delta, Fluvial (bay-head) Delta, Intertidal Flats, Mangrove, Rocky Reef, Saltmarsh/Saltflat, Tidal Sand Banks (and Unassigned). These types represent habitats found across all coastal systems in Australia. Southern and central Great Barrier Reef lagoon coasts have a broad spectrum of river, tide and wave- dominated estuaries.

This dataset includes waterway drainage lines within the Brisbane City Council area represented by their centrelines.Waterways consist of a defined channel with a bed and banks that carry constant or intermittent flows of surface water. The land area draining to a waterway is defined as its catchment.These were modelled in 1994 to represent the length of waterways. To achieve a linear network, drainage lines are generated through waterbodies to connect upstream and downstream waterways. They do not represent the natural centreline.

This feature class is shown on the Waterway corridors overlay map (map reference: OM-023.2).This feature class includes the following sub-categories:(a) Citywide waterway corridor sub-category;(b) Local waterway corridor sub-category.For information about the overlay and how it is applied, please refer to the Brisbane City Plan 2014 document.

This is a series of datasets covering the State of Queensland displaying hydrographic features. Features are attributed with source information, perennially, hierarchy and names where available. Watercourses are connected and flow directed. Connectors flow through waterbodies to create a linear network for hydrological modelling. Datasets include: - Watercourses, Canals, Lakes - natural waterbodies, Reservoirs - man-made waterbodies, Flats including saline coastal flats, swamps, Pondage areas including aquaculture, settling ponds, Waterfalls

The Waterways (3-8 order) layer forms part of Figures 20-25 in the Waterways and Wetlands Network Blueprint (Part C) of the Environment and Liveability Strategy. It represents waterways with the strem order between 3 and 8. This layer is for the purpose of the Environment and Liveability Strategy 2017 only. Please contact Council on 5475 7272 or email mail@sunshinecoast.qld.gov.au for more information on the Environment and Liveability Strategy 2017.

**Description: **All features have been included from the Surface Hydrology data capture. 250K Specification Description - Watercourse - A natural channel along which water may flow from time to time. Connector - An artificial line used to connect linear Hydrographic features across a defined area feature to allow network analysis of riverine networks. Connections across area features will be defined by the visual interpretation of imagery to achieve logical water flow patterns based on subtle variations in soil, vegetation and noticeable landform slope. (Source - http://www.ga.gov.au/mapspecs/topographic/v6/appendixA_files/Drainage.html). NOTE - This layer only displays 1:300,000 to 1:70,000 to avoid clutter at the national scale (approx 1:36,000,000). Refer to other Watercourses layers at different scales for the National Map.

Waterway sub-catchments are smaller divisions within a larger waterway catchment area, which represents a more specific area of land that contributes to the flow of water within Brisbane City Council's waterways.Like catchments, a sub-catchment is typically delineated based on the natural drainage patterns of the land, such as the flow of streams or rivers. It is defined by the topographic features and the boundaries of the land that drain into a specific tributary or section of the larger catchment.

Brisbane City Council’s Natural Assets Local Law 2003 helps to protect our city’s natural assets, including bushland areas, wetlands, waterway corridors and trees. All vegetation in wetlands and waterways, as mapped by Brisbane City Council, is protected vegetation. These important areas provide habitat for a unique diversity of flora and fauna. Waterways and wetlands in Brisbane do not always contain permanent water, they can be natural or man\-made and may have environments that range from freshwater to salt water. They help capture, store and convey water across the city and also provide important linkages between habitat areas for native wildlife and help maintain water quality.

This mapping does not include all protected vegetation, it only includes the Waterway and Wetland Vegetation category as mapped under the Natural Assets Local Law 2003\. Vegetation that has been recently protected (last 6 weeks), vegetation protected by a condition of a development approval, heritage protected vegetation or vegetation protected by a covenant on title is not included in this mapping.

To find out if your property has protected vegetation, including vegetation protected by the Natural Assets Local Law 2003, you can use the Protected Vegetation Online Enquiry Tool to obtain a property report. Further information about Protected Vegetation and the Natural Assets Local Law 2003, including how to apply for a permit, can be found by visiting the Brisbane City Council website and searching 'protected vegetation' or by phoning Council’s Contact Centre on (07\) 3403 8888\.

This record describes a single aggregated dataset of the geomorphic habitat environment (facies) for Australia's 7 states and territories: New South Wales, Victoria, Tasmania, Queensland, Northern Territory, South Australia, Western Australia. The classification system contains 12 easily identifiable and representative environments: Barrier/back-barrier, Bedrock, Central Basin, Channel, Coral, Flood- and Ebb-tide Delta, Fluvial (bay-head) Delta, Intertidal Flats, Mangrove, Rocky Reef, Saltmarsh/Saltflat, Tidal Sand Banks (and Unassigned). These types represent habitats found across all coastal systems in Australia.

For the New South Wales region, 134 coastal waterways are described. Most of the estuaries of New South Wales are under intense land use pressure with approximately 80% of the State's population living near an estuary (NSW Dept of Land and Water Conservation) For the Victorian region, 54 coastal waterways are described. Most of the 54 coastal waterways have a "Modified" environmental condition (as opposed to "Near Pristine"), according to the National Land and Water Resources Audit definition. For the Tasmanian region, 88 coastal waterways are described. The majority of near pristine estuaries in Tasmania are located in the south and west of the State and on Cape Barren Island, according to the Department of Primary Industries, Water and Environment. For the Queensland region, 213 coastal waterways are described. Southern and central Great Barrier Reef lagoon coasts have a broad spectrum of river, tide and wave- dominated estuaries. For the Northern Territory region, 63 coastal waterways are described. Estuaries on the northern Arnhem Land, Gulf of Carpentaria coasts are predominantly tide-dominated estuaries, which vary greatly in size and floodplain characteristics. For the South Australia region, 36 coastal waterways are described. Most of the 36 coastal waterways have a "Modified" environmental condition (as opposed to "Near Pristine"), according to the National Land and Water Resources Audit definition. For the Western Australia region, 103 coastal waterways are described. Western Australia has a diverse range of Estuaries due to different climates. Ranging from mostly "near pristine" and tide influenced estuaries in the north to "near pristine" wave dominated estuaries in the southwest region.
