WT: Mountains (WTMA) (wtma:WT_WTMA_Mountain)

This dataset contains point features depicting mountains, peaks, mountain ranges and hills and their names. Ranges are located with a point or series of points in the approximate vicinity of the feature. Mountain data originated from 1:250,000 scale AUSLIG supplied topographic data (repromats). Corrections were made to locate the points accurately to the 1:100,000 scale National Topographic Map Series. Georeferenced Topographic Maps are dated 1966. 90% of well defined detail within +/- 50 metres of true position. 95% of points within the Mountains coverage were located to the 1:100,000 scale Topographic maps Series. Some smaller hills, mountains and ranges shown on the 1:100,000 scale Topographic map Series, not in the original source data, have not been included in this dataset.

1. Boundaries (1. Boundaries)

GBRWHA: outer boundary (GBRMPA) (ea:GBR_JCU_3DGBR-geomorph_GBRWHA-outer)

This Great Barrier Reef World Heritage Area (GBRWHA) layer was initially provided by GBRMPA using a GDA94 datum. The shapefile was reprojected to the WGS84 datum, and then the western coastline boundaries deleted to derive a line shapefile showing only the outer boundary of the GBRWHA where it extends away from the mainland. This layer is part of the "Great Barrier Reef and Coral Sea Geomorphic Features" dataset developed as part of project 3DGBR. [ More info: http://e-atlas.org.au/content/gbr-jcu-3dgbr-geomorph ]

QLD GBRWHA CSCZ bounds (JCU) (ea:GBR_JCU_3DGBR-geomorph_QLD-GBRWHA-CSCZ)

This line shapefile combines both the GBRWHA and Coral Sea Conservation Zone (CSCZ) areas. GBRMPA supplied the original GBRWHA shapefile (detailed above). Geoscience Australia provided the original EEZ limit shapefile via the Australian Marine Spatial Information System (AMSIS). These two shapefiles were combined and clipped in the north at latitude 10�S. Note, this northern limit cuts off a small triangle of CSCZ over Ashmore Reef. The southern limit was clipped at latitude 24� 29.903'S. The western limit was clipped at the Queensland mainland coastline. This combined area was used to clip all geomorphic features created in this project. This layer is part of the "Great Barrier Reef and Coral Sea Geomorphic Features" dataset developed as part of project 3DGBR. [ More info: http://e-atlas.org.au/content/gbr-jcu-3dgbr-geomorph ]

4. Broader-scale features (4. Broader-scale features)

Coralsea: Abyssal Plain (JCU) (ea:GBR_JCU_3DGBR-geomorph_Coralsea-abyssalplain)

Abyssal plain is an extensive, flat, gently sloping or nearly level region at abyssal depths. Three abyssal plains were mapped where their gradients became generally flat and at depths greater than about 4000 m. In the north are the abyssal plains of the Coral Sea Basin and Louisiade Basin, the latter being a failed arm of a rift triple junction. In the south, lies the abyssal plain of the Tasman Basin. This layer is part of the "Great Barrier Reef and Coral Sea Geomorphic Features" dataset developed as part of project 3DGBR. [ More info: http://e-atlas.org.au/content/gbr-jcu-3dgbr-geomorph ]

Coralsea: Basin (JCU) (ea:GBR_JCU_3DGBR-geomorph_Coralsea-basin)

Basin is a depression, characteristically in the deep seafloor, more or less equidimensional in plan and of variable extent. Basins were mapped where their boundaries changed from generally flat to more steep gradients. Plateau or slope features were used to erase and limit the boundaries of the basin features. In the north lies the large Osprey Embayment which has smaller plateaus lying within its area. The Cato Trough is a large basin separating the southern continental slope and plateaus of the Lord Howe Rise area. On the Lord Howe Rise are shallow basins that surround the series of plateaus that lie on the Lord Howe Rise. This layer is part of the "Great Barrier Reef and Coral Sea Geomorphic Features" dataset developed as part of project 3DGBR. [ More info: http://e-atlas.org.au/content/gbr-jcu-3dgbr-geomorph ]

Coralsea: Plateau (JCU) (ea:GBR_JCU_3DGBR-geomorph_Coralsea-plateau)

Plateau is a flat or nearly flat area of considerable extent, dropping off abruptly on one or more sides. Extensive areas of plateaus were mapped across the Coral Sea with the largest being the Queensland Plateau. Lord Howe Rise consists of a series of plateaus separated by broad-scale valleys linking adjacent basins and troughs. Plateau boundaries were mapped around their bases where the gradient first becomes steeper. The exceptions are the Marion and Saumarez Plateaus on the Queensland continental slope, where the boundaries were mapped as the slope gradient becomes flat or nearly flat. This layer is part of the "Great Barrier Reef and Coral Sea Geomorphic Features" dataset developed as part of project 3DGBR. [ More info: http://e-atlas.org.au/content/gbr-jcu-3dgbr-geomorph ]

Coralsea: Rise (JCU) (ea:GBR_JCU_3DGBR-geomorph_Coralsea-rise)

Rise is a gentle slope rising from the oceanic depths towards the foot of a continental slope. For this project, an elongate rise is mapped between the Queensland Plateau and the adjacent Coral Sea Basin. The Queensland Plateau is remnant continental crust from the Gondwana breakup and so its seaward edge provides a geomorphic extension of the Australian margin, albeit at a much deeper depth than the present mainland margin. The rise was mapped where the gradient angle of the Queensland Plateau seaward edge first becomes less steep and finishes at the Coral Sea Basin abyssal plain. Another rise feature was mapped between the southern continental slope and the Tasman Basin abyssal plain. This layer is part of the "Great Barrier Reef and Coral Sea Geomorphic Features" dataset developed as part of project 3DGBR. [ More info: http://e-atlas.org.au/content/gbr-jcu-3dgbr-geomorph ]

Coralsea: Slope (JCU) (ea:GBR_JCU_3DGBR-geomorph_Coralsea-slope)

Slope lies seaward from the shelf edge to the upper edge of a continental rise or the point where there is a general reduction in slope. The continental slope was mapped lying adjacent to the shelf and extending into the adjacent deep basins and troughs. The shelf feature was used to erase the western boundary of the slope and the various basins and troughs erased the eastern slope border. The slope has extensive canyons incising its surface. This layer is part of the "Great Barrier Reef and Coral Sea Geomorphic Features" dataset developed as part of project 3DGBR. [ More info: http://e-atlas.org.au/content/gbr-jcu-3dgbr-geomorph ]

Coralsea: Terrace (JCU) (ea:GBR_JCU_3DGBR-geomorph_Coralsea-terrace)

Terrace is a relatively flat horizontal or gently inclined surface, sometimes long and narrow, which is bounded by a steeper ascending slope on one side and by a steeper descending slope on the opposite side. In this project, one broad-scale terrace feature was mapped lying on the slope between the Swains Reefs and Capricorn-Bunker Group of reefs, and near the Capricorn Trough. This layer is part of the "Great Barrier Reef and Coral Sea Geomorphic Features" dataset developed as part of project 3DGBR. [ More info: http://e-atlas.org.au/content/gbr-jcu-3dgbr-geomorph ]

Coralsea Trough (JCU) (ea:GBR_JCU_3DGBR-geomorph_Coralsea-trough)

Trough is a long depression of the seafloor characteristically flat bottomed and steep sided and normally shallower than a trench. In this project, two trough features were mapped that are essentially long basins. The larger feature is a combined Queensland and Townsville Trough lying between the continental slope and the Queensland Plateau. The smaller feature is the Bligh Trough separating the northern slope and Eastern Plateau. Both trough features feed into the Osprey Embayment and huge Bligh Canyon. This layer is part of the "Great Barrier Reef and Coral Sea Geomorphic Features" dataset developed as part of project 3DGBR. [ More info: http://e-atlas.org.au/content/gbr-jcu-3dgbr-geomorph ]

Coralsea: Valley (JCU) (ea:GBR_JCU_3DGBR-geomorph_Coralsea-valley)

Valley is a relatively shallow, wide depression, the bottom of which usually has a continuous gradient. This term is generally not used for features that have canyon-like characteristics for a significant portion of their extent. The shapefile includes Hole, a local depression, often steep sided, of the seafloor. Valleys and holes were mapped as long shallow depressions that often separated the numerous plateaus. These features link the basins and troughs that surround these plateaus, and in some cases can be incised with finer-scale canyons. This layer is part of the "Great Barrier Reef and Coral Sea Geomorphic Features" dataset developed as part of project 3DGBR. [ More info: http://e-atlas.org.au/content/gbr-jcu-3dgbr-geomorph ]

GBR: Shelf (JCU) (ea:GBR_JCU_3DGBR-geomorph_GBR-shelf)

Shelf is a zone adjacent to a continent (or around an island) extending from the low water line to a depth at which there is usually a marked increase of slope towards oceanic depths. The eastern boundary of the Queensland continental shelf was mapped by closely following the change in gradient along the shelf edge. The shelf break in the north was at approximately 80 m and became deeper at about 110 m towards the south. The western boundary was clipped at the Queensland mainland coastline. This layer is part of the "Great Barrier Reef and Coral Sea Geomorphic Features" dataset developed as part of project 3DGBR. [ More info: http://e-atlas.org.au/content/gbr-jcu-3dgbr-geomorph ]

3. Finer-scale features (3. Finer-scale features)

Coralsea: Bank (JCU) (ea:GBR_JCU_3DGBR-geomorph_Coralsea-bank)

Bank is an elevation over which the depth of water is relatively shallow but normally sufficient for safe surface navigation. In this project, banks were mapped as the base or pedestal boundaries of the coral reefs found in the Coral Sea. For example, the coral atolls and reefs on the Queensland Plateau are considered banks and their bases digitised where they emerge from the surrounding flat seafloor. This layer is part of the "Great Barrier Reef and Coral Sea Geomorphic Features" dataset developed as part of project 3DGBR. [ More info: http://e-atlas.org.au/content/gbr-jcu-3dgbr-geomorph ]

Coralsea: Canyon (JCU) (ea:GBR_JCU_3DGBR-geomorph_Coralsea-canyon)

Canyon is a relatively narrow, deep depression with steep sides, the bottom of which generally has a continuous slope, developed characteristically on continental slopes. Canyons were mapped by closely following the narrow sides of canyon axes, digitising from the foot of the canyon where they merge with the surrounding basin floor, and up to the canyon head and into any connecting side gullies. This project identified numerous canyons on any slope gradient >1� and are also greatly underestimated across the area. This layer is part of the "Great Barrier Reef and Coral Sea Geomorphic Features" dataset developed as part of project 3DGBR. [ More info: http://e-atlas.org.au/content/gbr-jcu-3dgbr-geomorph ]

Coralsea: Cay (JCU) (ea:GBR_JCU_3DGBR-geomorph_Coralsea-cay)

Cay is a sand island elevated above Australian Height Datum (AHD), and located on offshore coral reefs and seamounts. Cays were mapped initially using a shapefile provided by Geoscience Australia for this project, and then their boundaries checked or remapped using Landsat imagery as background source data to help delineate the white sand areas against the surrounding ocean. This layer is part of the "Great Barrier Reef and Coral Sea Geomorphic Features" dataset developed as part of project 3DGBR. [ More info: http://e-atlas.org.au/content/gbr-jcu-3dgbr-geomorph ]

Coralsea: Dryreef (JCU) (ea:GBR_JCU_3DGBR-geomorph_Coralsea-dryreef)

Dryreef is rock/coral lying at or near the sea surface that may constitute a hazard to surface navigation. Dryreefs were mapped initially using a shapefile provided by Geoscience Australia for this project, which identified those reef areas lying above approximately Lowest Astronomic Tide (LAT). Landsat imagery was used as background source data to check or remap their boundaries. This layer is part of the "Great Barrier Reef and Coral Sea Geomorphic Features" dataset developed as part of project 3DGBR. [ More info: http://e-atlas.org.au/content/gbr-jcu-3dgbr-geomorph ]

Coralsea: Knoll (JCU) (ea:GBR_JCU_3DGBR-geomorph_Coralsea-knoll)

Knoll is a relatively small isolated elevation of a rounded shape. This shapefile also includes Abyssal hill, a low (100 � 500 m) elevation on the deep seafloor. For this project, knolls and abyssal hills were mapped using background datasets that showed relatively steep changes in elevation contours and variations in slope gradients. Knolls are numerous throughout the Coral Sea area and are greatly underestimated. This layer is part of the "Great Barrier Reef and Coral Sea Geomorphic Features" dataset developed as part of project 3DGBR. [ More info: http://e-atlas.org.au/content/gbr-jcu-3dgbr-geomorph ]

Coralsea: Reef (JCU) (ea:GBR_JCU_3DGBR-geomorph_Coralsea-reef)

Reef is rock/coral lying at or near the sea surface that may constitute a hazard to surface navigation. For this project, the boundaries of reef areas were mapped to show the outer-most extent of each coral reef that could be observed in Landsat imagery, thus identifying the greatest area of each reef observed in the Coral Sea. This methodology is consistent with the methodology used to map the outer-most extents of reefs on the GBR shelf conducted by GBRMPA. This layer is part of the "Great Barrier Reef and Coral Sea Geomorphic Features" dataset developed as part of project 3DGBR. [ More info: http://e-atlas.org.au/content/gbr-jcu-3dgbr-geomorph ]

Coralsea: Ridge (JCU) (ea:GBR_JCU_3DGBR-geomorph_Coralsea-ridge)

Ridge is a long, narrow elevation with steep sides. In this project, ridges were mapped as widely-scattered and uncommon, finer-scale features identified in the gbr100 grid. These elongate ridges are distinct from the smaller knolls or hills which have a more rounded shape. They are usually found on the plateaus of the Lord Howe Rise. This layer is part of the "Great Barrier Reef and Coral Sea Geomorphic Features" dataset developed as part of project 3DGBR. [ More info: http://e-atlas.org.au/content/gbr-jcu-3dgbr-geomorph ]

Coralsea: Seamount (JCU) (ea:GBR_JCU_3DGBR-geomorph_Coralsea-seamount)

Seamount is a large isolated elevation >1000 m in relief above the seafloor, characteristically of conical form. This shapefile also includes Guyot, a seamount having a comparatively smooth flat top. Seamounts and guyots were mapped mostly within the Tasmantid Seamount Chain with elevations >1000 m. This project identified several large knolls and hills close to 1000 m in height within this chain that may also be seamounts but currently lack detailed bathymetry data. This layer is part of the "Great Barrier Reef and Coral Sea Geomorphic Features" dataset developed as part of project 3DGBR. [ More info: http://e-atlas.org.au/content/gbr-jcu-3dgbr-geomorph ]

2. GBRMPA features (2. GBRMPA features)

GBR: Dry Reef (GBRMPA) (ea:GBR_JCU_3DGBR-geomorph_GBR-dryreef)

The GBR shelf dryreefs shapefile was initially provided by GBRMPA for this project using a GD94 datum. The shapefile was reprojected to the WGS84 datum and not modified in any other way. It is provided here only for completeness but and products using this shapefile should also acknowledge GBRMPA (see under licensing). This layer is part of the "Great Barrier Reef and Coral Sea Geomorphic Features" dataset developed as part of project 3DGBR. [ More info: http://e-atlas.org.au/content/gbr-jcu-3dgbr-geomorph ]

GBR: Features (GBRMPA) (ea:GBR_JCU_3DGBR-geomorph_GBR-features)

The GBR shelf features were initially provided by GBRMPA for this project using a GDA94 datum. The shapefile was reprojected to the WGS84 datum, and then the Ashmore Reef polygon deleted due to a grossly incorrect position. The shapefile comprises Cay, Island, Mainland, Reef, Rock and Sand features. Users may contact GBRMPA to obtain details for the creation of these features. Any products using this shapefile should also acknowledge GBRMPA (see under licensing). This layer is part of the "Great Barrier Reef and Coral Sea Geomorphic Features" dataset developed as part of project 3DGBR. [ More info: http://e-atlas.org.au/content/gbr-jcu-3dgbr-geomorph ]

WT: Wet Tropics WHA Zoning 2009 (WTMA) (wtma:WT_WTMA_WTWHA_zoning_09)

This dataset contains polygon features that represent the zoning classification of lands within the Wet Tropics World Heritage Area. This dataset is a working depiction only. For legal confirmation, refer to signed maps held at WTMA. The zoning maps depict four zones (A,B,C & D), based on distance from disturbance model and catering for community services infrastructure and developed visitor facilities. The zones have different degrees of integrity, different physical and social settings and different management purposes. The zoning scheme allows diiferent types of activities in each zone, in accordance with the management intent and integrity of the zone. Zone A: Land included in zone A has a high degree of integrity and is remote from the disturbances associated with modern technological society. Zone B: High degree of ecological integrity and it is in a natural state but is not necessarily remote from disturbance. Zone C: Land in zone C already contains disturbances, which are often associated with existing community infrastructure. Zone D: Zone D contains lands where there are, or may be, visitor facilities of a well developed type. For information about zoning see http://www.wettropics.gov.au/map/map_zoning.html

WT: World Heritage Boundary 2009 (WTMA) (wtma:WT_WTMA_WTWHAbdy-2009)

This dataset contains polygon features that represent the zoning classification of lands within the Wet Tropics World Heritage Area, according to the Wet Tropics Management Plan 1998. The dataset aligns with NRMWs-DCDB. This dataset is a working depiction only. For legal confirmation, refer to signed maps held at WTMA. Lineage: The WHA boundary is legally defined by Wet Tropics Management Authority (WTMA) WTQ1 SH1-32 series. (Note: Along the coastline, it shall be low water mark). These maps should be referred to for any legal purposes. This dataset is designed to show the intent of these plans relevant to the current DCDB. Most lines are derived from DCDB, and other lines derived from 1:50,000 topographical data and other sources. Positional Lines derived from the DCDB were within 1m of the DCDB as at 29/11/2008. Lines that are not derived from the DCDB are approximate only. They were derived from topographic mapping originally, then adjusted to the DCDB in 2002, and then further adjusted as the DCDB was updated since then.

WT: WTMaps Geology 2008 (WTMA) (wtma:WT_WTMA_WTMaps-2008_Geology)

This dataset contains polygons depicting geology as deliniated by botanist J.P.Stanton and geologist D.J.Stanton within the Wet Tropics bioregion. Lineage: The geology mapping of the Wet Tropics Bioregion is based on interpretation of aerial photographs during WTMAs Vegetation of the Wet Tropics of Queensland bioregion mapping project. Aerial photography was also used to select sites and traverses for ground truthing work. The geological classification and boundaries were based on their relevence to vegetation patterns. The dataset has been derived from 1:25,000 aerial photography. Botanists J.P.Stanton and geologist D.J.Stanton deliniated vegetation and geology types by manually drawing polygons directly onto the aerial photography. Field verification was also undertaken. Aerial photographs were scanned and authorectified to WTMAs 50k river dataset using an 80m digital elevation model (DEM). Linework was extracted digitally from the rectified photography and attributes added manually.

Dugong relative density (JCU, NERP-TE 2.1) (ts:TS_JCU_Dugong-rel-density)

This map layer shows the areas where most of the dugongs (Dugong dugong) live in the Torres Strait region. Dark areas show where more dugongs were seen and light areas show where no dugongs were seen. This map layer was made by spotting dugongs from a plane flying back and forth in strips approximately 400m apart (strip transect method). This map layer is an aggregate of all surveys in the region which were conducted in 1987, 1991, 1996, 2001, 2005, 2006, and 2011. This sightings data was converted to a model and converted into a density map using ArcGIS 9.3. This map layer show the relative density of dugongs (areas where there are more or less dugongs) and not the absolute dugong density, which would allow the actual number of dugongs to be calculated. During an aerial survey not all dugongs are seen by observers for a number of reasons including not being able to see diving dugongs when the water is not clear and observers missing animals. Correcting for these errors to estimate the total number of dugongs can only be done over then entire survey and not for each grid in the map. For this reason the map shows only the relative density of dugongs (low density areas: 0 dugongs per square km; medium density areas 0.0015 - 0.25 dugongs dugongs per square km; high density areas 0.25 - 0.5 dugongs per square km; very high density areas > 0.5 dugongs dugongs per square km).

WT: WTMaps Vegetation 2008 (WTMA) (wtma:WT_WTMA_WTMaps-2008_Vegetation)

This dataset contains polygons depicting vegetation types as defined by botanist J.P. Stanton and geologist D.J.Stanton within the Wet Tropics Bioregion. Lineage: The vegetation mapping of the Wet Tropics Bioregion is based on interpretation of aerial photographs, which were also used to select sites and traverses for ground truthing work. The Wet Tropics Bioregion is, in some places, an area of rapid habitat change, and the mapping reflects the situation at the time of the photography. The dataset originates from 1:25,000 aerial photography. Botanist J.P. Stanton and geologist D.J. Stanton delineated vegetation and geology types by manually drawing polygons directly onto the aerial photography. Field verification was also undertaken . Aerial photographs were scanned and orthorectified to WTMAs 50k river dataset using an 80m DEM. Linework was extracted digitally from the rectified photography and vegetation atttributes added manually.

Coral Sea: Biological Important Areas - Humpback (DSEWPaC) (ea:Coralsea_DSEWPaC_BIA-2011_Humpback)

Work has been undertaken through the marine bioregional planning program to identify, describe and map biologically important areas (BIAs) for protected species under the EPBC Act. BIAs spatially and temporally define areas where protected species display biologically important behaviours (including breeding, foraging, resting or migration), based on the best available scientific information.These areas are those parts of a marine region that are particularly important for the conservation of protected species. In collecting information on BIAs, the Dpeartment has explicitly aimed to collect information about known important areas and areas that are likely to be important for a protected species. This approach was taken to ensure that the BIAs identified did not simply represent survey effort but identified areas that scientists consider are likely to be biologically important for a protected species. BIAs are accompaniedby comprehensive data attributes which enable decision makers and people proposing to undertake actions that may have a significant impact on matters of national environmental significance to assess the relevance of the information to their specific circumstances. Lineage The BIA spatial data was captured via discussions and workshops with numerous species experts and/or through projects with key scientists. Each polygon was validated for spatial consistency, using the scientific knowledge of the species along with comprehensive feedback provided by the experts. While the polygons are not comprehensive nor represent absolutes limits they represent the biologically important areas that have been identified to date. With further research, other important areas may be identified and/or the area identified in this data may be refined. The aim of the detailed attribute information is to provide details about the data that cannot be spatially defined such as source information.

This dataset corresponds to the management zoning within the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park effective 1st July 2004. It is derived from the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Zoning Plan 2003. It defines the following regions Buffer, Commonwealth Island, Conservation Park, General Use, Habitat Protection, Marine National Park, Preservation, Scientific Research, Scientific Research (closed to public access). Warnings: NOT TO BE USED FOR NAVIGATION This map layer should only be used as a guide. It is a NON-OFFICAL map created by the e-Atlas for research purposes only. The original source data (from GBRMPA) for the zoning was not designed to operate at the high zoom levels available on the e-Atlas (particularly with a Google maps base layer) and so the zoning boundaries may not always exactly follow the coastline and island boundaries when zoomed in. This results in some areas showing no zoning when in fact still they are still protected zones.

WT_JCU_Refugia-max-temp_Jan2007-Dec2008 (ea:WT_JCU_Refugia-max-temp_Jan2007-Dec2008)

This dataset shows the estimated maximum temperature of the warmest period for the Wet Tropics Bioregion of North Queensland over a 24 month period from January 2007 to December 2008. It was modelled based on weather station data, elevation, foliage cover and distance to the coast. The purpose of this dataset is as a metric for estimating thermal stress on animals living in this region. The maximum temperate was modelled over the region at an 80 m resolution using weather station data with adjustments for elevation, foliage cover and distance from the coast. This allowed the temperature to be estimated for locations where there were no direct measurements of temperature. Models of the maximum temperature for each month of the study were generated. These 24 monthly surfaces were then overlaid and the maximum model temperature for any month was determined for each pixel to generate a summary variable - the maximum temperature of the warmest period (i.e., month).

Property Boundaries - DCDB - July 2012 (DNRM) (ea:QLD_DNRM_Property-boundaries-DCDB-July-2012)

The Digital Cadastral Database (DCDB) is essentially a computerised map of property boundaries and the related property description of all land parcels in Queensland. This polygon layer is a 'lite' version of the DCDB showing minimal attribute data about the property boundaries e.g.: base lot polygons, Lot and Plan attributes and an accuracy statement covering the whole of Queensland. This dataset is a fortnightly copy from Queensland's Digital Cadastral Database taken on the 15th July 2012. A complete extract of the DCDB BY LGA is available from the Queensland Government Information Service. The data can be downloaded by searching on "Cadastral Data Fortnightly Extract". For more information on the DCDB see: http://www.derm.qld.gov.au/property/mapping/dcdata =Accuracy of the DCDB= The Queensland Digital Cadastral Database (DCDB) was developed by manually digitising the best available cadastral maps. Its positional accuracy was derived as a factor of the map scale and the precision of the digitising. As a consequence, the positional accuracy of the DCDB throughout Queensland varies from 0.1 metre to 250 metres. This map of Queensland depicts the [current positional accuracy of the DCDB - April 2012 (PDF, 650K) http://www.derm.qld.gov.au/property/mapping/pdf/dcdb_accuracy.pdf]. =License= This material is licensed under a Creative Commons - Attribution 3.0 Australia licence.
