  • Last updated : 26 September 2019

This is the production release of GeoResGlobe. It is identified as version 2.10 as it is aligned with the Queensland Globe release cycle.

The intention for this release is to replace the current MinesOnlineMaps spatial viewer. Notifications of fixes and changes will be posted on this page. We appreciate your patience and feedback as we implement the changes.

It is recommended that new users access the Tutorial Videos and Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) to highlight the functionality and workflows within the new web application.

Further functionality will be added to the new GeoResGlobe application with continuing maintenance scheduled. Feedback on GeoResGlobe can be provided via the opendata@resources.qld.gov.au email address.
