Queensland Mining and Petroleum Project Environmental Impact Statements

Contains records from the public register for large-scale, complex, and high-risk resource projects in Queensland that underwent an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) process under the Environmental Protection Act 1994. The dataset is maintained by the Department of Environment, Science and Innovation and was last updated in March 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyze environmental risk levels associated with different resource project types like Mining, Petroleum, and Gas.
• Track the status and outcomes of the EIS process for projects listed on the public register.
• Identify trends in the application of Environment Authorities for large-scale and complex projects over time.

Strengths

• Data is sourced from an official government public register administered by the Department of Environment, Science and Innovation.
• Records are specific to high-risk projects requiring an Environmental Impact Statement, providing a focused subset.
• Released under a CC BY 4.0 license, permitting broad reuse and adaptation.

Limitations

• The dataset only includes projects that underwent the EIS process, excluding other environmental authority records.
• Specific data volume metrics like row count, column count, and temporal coverage are unknown.
• Data is limited to the state of Queensland, Australia, and may not be representative of other regions.
