The data originates from the superseded Caboolture ShirePlan, which was active from 12 December 2005 until its replacement on 1 February 2016. It is provided by the City of Moreton Bay's GIS team.

Use Cases

• Analyze acid sulfate soil distribution for historical land use planning studies within the Caboolture Shire boundaries.

• Use the spatial data to understand constraints under the historic Caboolture ShirePlan regulatory framework.

Strengths

• Data is provided in 10 different file formats, including XLSX, GeoJSON, and ArcGIS services, offering flexibility for various GIS tools.
• Maintained by an authoritative local government source, City of Moreton Bay's Data Hub.

Limitations

• The underlying planning scheme (Caboolture ShirePlan) is historic and was superseded in 2016, limiting its current regulatory applicability.
• Core dataset metrics like row count, column count, and spatial sample size are unknown.
• The 'other' license type requires careful review for specific usage terms and restrictions.
