Moreton Bay Regional Transport Noise Overlay for Planning

Moreton Bay Regional Council's planning scheme includes a Transport Noise Overlay to identify areas affected by noise for development considerations. The dataset, versioned from February 2016, is provided by the City of Moreton Bay's Data Hub. It is available in multiple geospatial formats including GeoJSON, KML, and CSV.

Use Cases

• Identify properties subject to transport noise constraints for development assessment using overlay boundaries.
• Analyze spatial correlation between noise overlay areas and other planning scheme features for integrated land-use planning.
• Map noise overlay extents against property boundaries to assess potential development impacts.

Strengths

• Data is provided in multiple geospatial formats (GeoJSON, KML, CSV, ArcGIS REST API) for flexibility.
• Attribute fields are defined per the standardized Queensland Planning Provisions schedule.
• Dataset is maintained by the authoritative local government organization, City of Moreton Bay's Data Hub.

Limitations

• Specific data volume metrics like row count, column names, and sample data are unavailable for assessment.
• The core data version is from February 2016, which may not reflect current noise conditions or planning amendments.
• Without column details, the granularity of noise-related attributes (e.g., dB levels, source types) is unknown.
