City Plan 2014 LGIP PFTI Stormwater Infrastructure in Brisbane

Brisbane City Council's open data platform provides a geospatial dataset of stormwater trunk infrastructure. The feature class includes categories such as pipes, culverts, bioretention swales, and stormwater quality improvement devices, as part of the Local Government Infrastructure Plan. This data is shown on the Plans for Trunk Infrastructure - Stormwater network mapping and is updated as part of the Brisbane City Plan 2014.

Use Cases

• Mapping stormwater drainage networks based on the listed infrastructure categories like pipes and culverts.
