Ipswich Unexploded Ordnance Overlay Planning Maps

A geospatial dataset containing two overlay maps for the Ipswich Planning Scheme: UXO Search/Clearance Required and UXO Warnings Required. The dataset is maintained by the Ipswich City Council and is updated on changes to the planning scheme, with a last update recorded in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Identify land parcels requiring UXO search/clearance before development using the 'UXO Search / Clearance Required' map layer.
• Determine areas where UXO warnings must be issued to stakeholders using the 'UXO Warnings Required' map layer.
• Analyze spatial constraints for development applications by overlaying the UXO areas with other planning scheme layers.
• Assess property-specific hazard risks by querying the geospatial features for a given address or lot.

Strengths

• Contains two distinct, policy-relevant map layers for hazard management.
• Data is updated in sync with changes to the official Ipswich Planning Scheme.
• Available in multiple geospatial formats including GEOJSON, SHP, and KML.

Limitations

• Unknown total number of spatial features or geographic extent.
• No sample data or column schema is provided to understand attribute details.
• Specific temporal coverage of the underlying UXO risk assessments is not stated.
