A history of the versions of the Queensland wetland mapping and classification products provided to date is available as are frequently asked questions.

The Queensland Wetlands Program Wetland Mapping is base mapping. It has no legislative standing in and of itself, however it may be used as an input for other wetland mapping products which may have legislative standing

KMLs

Keyhole Markup Language (KML) is an XML-based language schema for expressing geographic annotation and visualization on Web-based browsers. Many applications display KML, including Google Earth, Google Maps, Google Maps for mobile, NASA WorldWind, ESRI ArcGIS Explorer, Adobe PhotoShop, AutoCAD, and Yahoo! Pipes.

Wetlands hydro-climate information tool

The wetlands hydro-climate information tool is an interactive tool that relates zonal discharge, stream height, rainfall and runoff indices to the imagery used for the Queensland Wetland Mapping. The tools provide historical context to evaluate the representativeness and variability of the hydro-climatic conditions that are relevant to wetland inundation and the extent of inundation.

The information may also be used to evaluate the circumstances that lead to wetland filling and to identify changes in wetland filling processes for different wetland types. This is important for wetland assessment and the management of wetlands at a subregional scale.

Wetland Data

The Wetland Mapping and Classification data version 3.0 (based on 2009 imagery) is available for download from Information Queensland
