City Plan 2014: Brisbane's Planned Stormwater Infrastructure

Brisbane City Council's open data platform provides a feature class detailing planned stormwater infrastructure under the Local Government Infrastructure Plan. The data includes 12 categories of infrastructure such as pipes, wetlands, and stormwater quality improvement devices, and is shown on the Plans for Trunk Infrastructure mapping. This dataset is part of the Brisbane City Plan 2014, which is regularly updated by the Council.

Use Cases

• Planning future stormwater network capacity based on the 'Pipe - relief' and 'Pipe - new' categories.
• Assessing environmental impact mitigation based on features like 'Wetland', 'Bioretention swale', and 'Stormwater Quality Improvement Device (SQID)'.
• Identifying land acquisition needs for waterway corridors based on the 'Land acquisition - waterway corridor' category.
• Modeling hydrological flows using the 'Natural channel lines', 'Culvert', and 'Concrete lined channel' features.

Strengths

• Data is part of a formal, regularly updated city planning document (Brisbane City Plan 2014).
• Infrastructure is categorized into 12 specific types, providing clear semantic distinctions.
• Data is published under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license for reuse.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for large-scale analysis.
• Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to data_gov_au, being specific to Brisbane, Australia.
