Moreton Bay Scenic Amenity Planning Overlay 2016

Moreton Bay Regional Council's Scenic Amenity Overlay identifies land with special landscape features for development consideration. The planning scheme commenced on February 1, 2016, and data is provided in multiple GIS formats including GeoJSON and KML. Users must consult this data alongside the Caboolture West Local Plan and North Lakes Locality.

Use Cases

• Analyze overlay boundaries to identify properties subject to scenic amenity development constraints.
• Cross-reference overlay maps with property data to assess development application requirements.
• Integrate GeoJSON or KML files into GIS systems for spatial planning and regulatory compliance checks.

Strengths

• Data is structured per the Queensland Planning Provisions (QPP) Schedule 2, ensuring regulatory alignment.
• Available in multiple interoperable formats including GeoJSON, KML, and ArcGIS REST API for flexible use.
• Officially finalized and commenced by Moreton Bay Regional Council for the 2016 planning scheme.

Limitations

• The dataset lacks disclosed row and column counts, preventing assessment of its scale and feature depth.
• Attribute field definitions are referenced but not explicitly listed, requiring external documentation for full understanding.
