Queensland State Boundary from Geoscape Administrative Data

Geoscape Australia maintains this official state boundary for Queensland, derived from cadastre data provided by state and territory jurisdictions. The dataset is part of a larger collection of seven administrative boundary themes, including ABS, electoral, and local government areas. It is provided by the Department of Industry, Science and Resources under a CC BY 4.0 license.

Use Cases

• Visualize the Queensland state polygon on interactive maps using its geospatial coordinates.
• Perform spatial joins with other datasets using the state boundary geometry to aggregate statistics by jurisdiction.
• Analyze the legal identifier associated with the boundary for integration with government administrative systems.

Strengths

• Derived from authoritative government cadastre data for legal accuracy.
• Available in multiple geospatial formats (GEOJSON, SHP, WFS, WMS) for tool flexibility.
• Offers coordinate data in both GDA94 and GDA2020 datums for temporal consistency.

Limitations

• Specific row count and file size for the Queensland subset are not provided.
• The core boundary data reflects a snapshot as of its last update in November 2019.
