Healthy landscapes, viable communities

Maps

Mapping and spatial analysis for understanding our region

We support Landcare Groups, Regional Councils and other organisations across the region.  Our Community Resource Information System covers information on all areas of natural resource management.  We've published a general selection of maps under the Publications/Maps tab.  This page includes a list of both maps publsihed and those available on request.  
 
 
Want to make your own maps?  Most of the maps we produce use freely available public information.  Download the free training tips we've put together for our technical staff. Some of the data sources we regularly use have been listed on the DataHub page (under library services) and in the disclaimers and legends on published maps.

Atlas Series

Automated 'bread and butter' maps created using the best available data. Available as A3 landscape format (available as electronic pdf or printed). These maps have been created with national, state and some regional information.  

All new map books are auto generated.  We publish them here in the hope that you will let us know if there are any errors or missing information. 

Property scale maps 

  • 1:25,000 maps based on the 1:100,000 grid.  A combination of topographic and imagery maps.  Hard and soft copy end product (on request).  Suitable for property planning and field survey.  Available on request.  See Mapping Support Services

Local maps

  • Regional ecosystem biodiversity assessment (1:250,000)
  • Water infrastructure and assests (1:100,000 map series)

GIS unit initiatives

Applications and systems developments

Pest Information Management System (PIMS): implementing the Spatial pest Attribute Standard.  Includes migration capability for PestInfo type records.

Resource Management Collection: Property infrastructure and project planning spatial database.  Includes hundreds of symbols.  Complient with state and national standard output reporting codes

Data Managment: Collate and maintain an extensive collection of publicly available data.  Assessment of data reliability and suitability, symbologya and summary statistics.  Maintained as esri file geodatabases and for data sets with field verification esri sde geodatabase. 

Analysis: Perform routine and complex analysis on supplied data. Including:

  • potential extent of Environmental Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act Communities (in Queensland)
  • Analysis of Major Vegetation Groups (NVIS)
