Queensland Digital Cadastral Land Parcel Boundaries

Weekly updated spatial data representing every current land parcel in Queensland. The dataset provides the graphical map base for land-related systems and is updated weekly on Sundays. It is maintained by the Queensland Department of Natural Resources and Mines, Manufacturing and Regional and Rural Development.

Use Cases

• Analyze parcel geometry and lot-on-plan descriptions for spatial planning and infrastructure projects.
• Use the weekly updated spatial boundaries as a base layer for property valuation or environmental impact assessments.
• Integrate cadastral parcel data with other land administration datasets for comprehensive land use analysis.

Strengths

• Data is updated weekly on Sundays, ensuring regular updates.
• Serves as the authoritative point of truth for the graphical representation of property boundaries in Queensland.
• Available in multiple spatial formats including SHP, FGDB, GPKG, and WMS for broad compatibility.

Limitations

• The dataset is not the legal point of truth for property boundaries; official plans of survey and titling information are required for legal purposes.
• Specific details on row count, column count, and data size are unknown, limiting initial assessment of scale.
• A major system migration is planned for July 2025, which may introduce changes to the data structure and delivery.
