Maryborough-Nambour Basin Hydrogeology and Groundwater Management Inventory

Geoscience Australia Data compiled this hydrogeological inventory for the Maryborough-Nambour Basins in Queensland. The dataset groups descriptive attributes into themes including location, demographics, geology, hydrogeology, and groundwater management. It was last updated on 2026-04-20.

Use Cases

• Model groundwater flow based on described geological units like the Nambour Formation and Burrum Coal Measures.
• Assess groundwater management strategies based on the administrative and land-use themes.
• Correlate stratigraphy with adjacent basins like the Clarence-Moreton Basin based on mentioned correlations.
• Study the impact of surface water and physical geography on aquifer systems in the basin region.

Strengths

• Descriptive information is organized into 11 specific thematic groups, including Hydrogeology and Groundwater Management.
• Provides detailed geological context, specifying unit thicknesses like the Landsborough Sandstone at up to 450 meters.
• Sourced from Geoscience Australia Data, a national geological survey authority.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data is provided in PDF format, which may complicate automated analysis.
