Maryborough-Nambour Basin Hydrogeological Inventory with Geological Descriptions

Descriptive attribute information for groundwater features in the Maryborough-Nambour Basin, grouped into themes including location, demographics, geology, hydrogeology, and land use. The dataset was published by the Australian Ocean Data Network and last updated on 2026-04-16. It describes a half-graben intracratonic sag basin filled with Early Cretaceous rocks overlain by up to 100 m of Cenozoic sediments.

Use Cases

• Mapping groundwater management zones based on hydrogeological feature boundaries
• Analyzing stratigraphic correlations between Cretaceous and Cenozoic units
• Assessing land use and industry types relative to groundwater availability
• Studying surface water interactions with groundwater in the basin
• Comparing geological characteristics between the Maryborough and Nambour basins

Strengths

• Descriptive topics are grouped into 11 distinct themes, including geology and groundwater management.
• The geological description provides specific stratigraphic details, such as the Landsborough Sandstone thickness of up to 450 m.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The dataset is provided in PDF format, which may hinder direct computational analysis.
