Brisbane Stormwater Quality Improvement Device Locations

Brisbane City Council provides a spatial dataset of existing stormwater quality improvement devices (SQIDs) within its local government area. The data includes four main device types: Filter, Gross Pollution Trap (GPT), Trash Rack, and Wetland. It is designed to be combined with other stormwater network data for a complete asset view.

Use Cases

• Map SQID locations by device type (Filter, GPT, Trash Rack, Wetland) to analyze spatial distribution and coverage.
• Integrate this asset layer with other stormwater network data to model pollutant interception across the council area.
• Analyze the prevalence of different SQID types (e.g., Gross Pollution Trap vs. Wetland) to inform infrastructure planning.

Strengths

• Data is provided by the authoritative Brisbane City Council.
• Explicitly defines four distinct SQID types (Filter, GPT, Trash Rack, Wetland) for clear categorization.
• Dataset is updated regularly, with a last update recorded in March 2026.

Limitations

• Specific data volume metrics (row count, column count, file size) are unknown, limiting assessment of scale.
• Sample data and column schema are unavailable, preventing preview of data structure and attributes.
• Not all assets in the combined stormwater network are owned or maintained by the council, requiring external validation for complete analysis.
