Get Maps and Data

A range of wetland mapping products and data in the wetland inventory database can be accessed from several sources. A history of the versions of the Queensland wetland mapping and classification products provided to date is available.

WetlandMaps

Search wetlands mapping and other wetlands inventory data in a geographic information system (GIS) environment. This is an interactive mapping site that will allow you to search the mapping.

PDF maps on-line

Download or print PDF maps for Queensland wetlands based on 1:100,000 map tiles. 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.

If you already have google maps dowloaded the KML, will automatically open in google.

If you wish to save the KML right click on the place name and save.

Please note:

• 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
• the linework won’t always match exactly with the underlying imagery due to scale differences, differences in the way the data was collected or changes to the landscape
• the wetland mapping was developed in a different project to the Google Earth imagery
• DERM holds no responsibility for the underlying imagery
• the kml’s are for general viewing and information purposes only. They should not to be used for decision making or legislative purposes
• if using Google Earth or other viewing programs, ensure that you refer to their terms of use for that program

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.

Atlas of Tropical Cyclone Waves in the Great Barrier Reef. The Cooperative Research Centre for the Great Barrier Reef World Heritage Area (CRC GBRWHA) funded the development of a tropical cyclone wave atlas for the Great Barrier Reef World Heritage Area. The atlas provides a high resolution of wave data for many purposes including design wave loads for the design of reef structures and coral damage assessments.
