Brisbane Land Use Code and Rating Category Definitions for 2023-2024

Brisbane City Council's official definitions for land use codes and differential rating categories used to determine property rates. The dataset is published under a CC-BY-4.0 license and must be read in conjunction with the Council's Annual Plan and Budget 2023-24. Land use codes indicate a property's predominant use based on visual, spatial, and economic aspects, which determines its specific rating category.

Use Cases

• Classifying property types for municipal taxation based on land use code definitions.
• Determining differential rating categories for rateable properties based on the Resolution of Rates and Charges.
• Analyzing the relationship between a property's structural improvements and its official land use classification.

Strengths

• Data is sourced directly from Brisbane City Council's core land database.
• Definitions are tied to the formal Resolution of Rates and Charges for the 2023-24 financial year.
• Published under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to data_gov_au, being specific to Brisbane.
