Brisbane Airport Bird and Bat Strike Risk Zones, 2014 City Plan

Brisbane City Plan 2014 includes an Airport Environs Overlay defining three concentric risk zones for bird and bat strikes. The dataset, provided by Brisbane City Council, categorizes areas within 0-3km, 3-8km, and 8-13km from the airport. It was last updated on 2026-06-28 15:31:07.739431.

Use Cases
