Brisbane Petroleum Pipeline Corridors Under City Plan 2014

Brisbane City Plan 2014 includes an overlay mapping regional infrastructure corridors and substations for petroleum pipelines. The feature class contains four sub-categories specifying gas and oil pipelines with defined buffer distances of 20m, 100m, and 15m. This spatial planning data is maintained by Brisbane City Council and was last updated in March 2026.

Use Cases

• Perform spatial analysis to identify properties intersecting the Gas pipeline 20m or 100m sub-category for development risk assessment.
• Model pipeline corridor networks by integrating the Oil pipeline 15m and 100m sub-category features into urban planning GIS systems.
• Analyze land-use constraints by overlaying the four defined pipeline sub-categories with other zoning maps from Brisbane City Plan 2014.

Strengths

• Data is officially maintained and updated by Brisbane City Council, the authoritative local government body.
• Provides four specific, legally-defined sub-categories (Gas pipeline 20m, 100m; Oil pipeline 15m, 100m) for precise spatial application.
• Dataset is linked directly to the Brisbane City Plan 2014 overlay map OM-018.1, ensuring regulatory alignment.

Limitations

• The dataset is a regulatory overlay map; it lacks tabular attributes like pipeline diameter, operator, or volumetric data.
• Understanding the data's application requires consulting the separate Brisbane City Plan 2014 document, which is not included.
• Available primarily in HTML format, which may complicate direct geospatial analysis without conversion to a standard GIS format.
