Brisbane Land Use Code and Rating Category Definitions for 2019–2020

Brisbane City Council's official definitions for land use codes and differential rating categories used to determine property rates. The dataset is a reference document that must be read in conjunction with the Council's 2019-20 Annual Plan and Budget Resolution of Rates and Charges. It originates from the Council's core land database and was last updated in June 2026.

Use Cases

• Classifying properties for differential rating based on the described land use code definitions.
• Understanding the criteria for a property's primary and secondary land use based on visual, spatial, and economic aspects.
• Mapping property rating categories to specific rates and charges as defined in the Council's annual resolution.

Strengths

• Directly sourced from Brisbane City Council's core land database, indicating official provenance.
• Includes definitions for both primary and secondary land use codes, providing a structured classification system.
• Linked to a specific financial year (2019-20) and formal Council resolution, providing legal and temporal context.

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to data_gov_au, being specific to Brisbane City Council.
