Brisbane Acid Sulfate Soil and Elevation Overlay Mapping

Brisbane City Council's City Plan 2014 includes an overlay map for land management. The dataset categorizes areas by potential and actual acid sulfate soils and by elevation relative to the Australian Height Datum. It is maintained by Brisbane City Council and was last updated in March 2026.

Use Cases

• Identify land parcels within the 'Potential and actual acid sulfate soils' sub-category for environmental risk assessment.
• Analyze the spatial distribution of the 'Land at or below 5m AHD' sub-category for coastal planning and flood studies.
• Cross-reference the 'Land above 5m AHD and below 20m AHD' sub-category with development applications to check planning compliance.

Strengths

• Officially maintained and updated by Brisbane City Council as part of the City Plan 2014.
• Provides three distinct regulatory sub-categories for land classification.
• Data is current, with a recorded update in March 2026.

Limitations

• The specific data schema, including column names and row count, is not provided in the input.
• Primary data format listed is HTML, which is not optimal for direct programmatic analysis.
• Spatial data granularity and attribute details are not described, requiring users to access the source portal.
