What is happening?

• The Queensland Government is releasing an updated Queensland Topographic data schema for the Topographic digital spatial datasets
• This includes changes to layer names, field names and attribute structure

When?

• 19^th June 2024

Why?

• The current Topographic data schema hasn't been updated since the early 2000's
• Updating the schema with new and improved fields allows it to work better with current and possible future delivery techniques
• Aligns with UN data themes to allow a seamless integration with nationwide datasets
• The Topographic data aligns with Australia's current datum - GDA2020

Who?

• For all globe users, the change should be fairly seamless, with some changes in line styles and/or names, however saved maps may be impacted and need re-saving
• The Topographic base map will not be impacted

What's new?

• Extra fields and more "user-friendly" names for fields within the Topographic layers
• Update to the Watercourse dataset for better display performance and a regular update cycle instead of ad-hoc updates
• Ability to turn off stream ordering labels on Watercourses
• Queensland place names have been updated and will display real-time edits instead of ad-hoc updates
• As a reminder, the 1m and 5m LiDAR contours were released in mid-April and are available under Elevation theme

What do you need to do

• Open any saved maps and re-save them to pick up the new schema changes, please contact us if you need further assistance
