Summary
Description
The Ground Cover Disturbance Index (GCDI) is an index developed by the Biodiversity Assessment Team (BAT) within EHP, which assesses aspects of rangeland biodiversity condition. It relates the ground cover time series statistics from the State Land and Tree Study (SLATS) to the Regional Ecosystem (RE) framework. The primary data input for the index is a percentage ground cover time series, derived from SLATS Landsat TM imagery over Queensland. The GCDI analyses levels of ground cover within each RE, as different REs naturally have different ground cover percentages. Within each RE, by subregion, the mean and trend of the ground cover is calculated since 1988, with different combinations of mean and trend indicating the level of disturbance.GCDI can be calculated in areas with foliage projective cover less than 20%, ie where the satellites can see the ground cover layer through the trees. The GCDI method also requires RE mapping, and only applies in areas that are considered remnant.The GCDI model assumes that climatic conditions (temperature, rainfall, etc) are consistent within a subregion. It also relates the ground cover time series statistics to the dominant ecosystem (RE1_ROOT) in the RE layer.This dataset needs to be viewed in conjunction with the low change and water bodies layers also supplied with this package.

The definition of 'waterway' under the Fisheries Act is broad and a Queensland-wide spatial data layer has been developed to better delineate this.Waterway barrier works are regulated under the Fisheries Act 1994 and the Sustainable Planning Act 2009 when barriers to fish movement, including partial barriers, are installed across waterways. Barrier works include construction, raising, replacement and some maintenance works on structures such as culvert crossings, bed level and low level crossings, weirs and dams, both permanent and temporary. See additional information also.

Description
The Convention on Wetlands of International Importance was the first modern inter-governmental treaty between nations aiming to conserve natural resources. The signing of the Convention took place in 1971 in the small Iranian town of Ramsar (since then, it has taken the common name of the Ramsar Convention). Australia was the first nation to become a Contracting Party to the Convention.The Convention's broad aims are to halt the worldwide loss of wetlands and to conserve, through wise use and management, those that remain. This requires international cooperation, policy making, capacity building and technology transfer.There are 5 Ramsar sites within Queensland (Administrator is shown in brackets): Moreton Bay (Queensland), Bowling Green Bay (Queensland), Currawinya Lakes (Queensland), Shoalwater and Corio Bays (Queensland/ Commonwealth), Great Sandy (Queensland).

Identifies the Strategic Environmental Areas(SEA) throughout Queensland. These areas include Cape York Peninsula, the Gulf Country, the Chanel Country, Fraser Island and Hinchinbrook Island. SEAs identify areas where the impact of a prescribed activity will not result in a widespread or irreversible impact on an environmental attribute of a strategic environmental area.The SEAs are prescribed within the Regional Planning Interests Regulation 2014 or within a Regional Plan.

This dataset details areas where aerial and ground distribution is regulated in Queensland (regulated areas), as well as those areas where its provisions do not apply at this point in time (excluded (non-regulated) areas). The dataset also describes the three declared hazardous areas in which additional conditions apply to aerial and ground distribution generally and restrictions apply on how a number of volatile chemicals can be used.

The Queensland Government residential land supply study quantifies the amount of land, which is predominantly greenfield (undeveloped), available for future residential development. A number of constraints (characteristics) are analyzed against parcels of land to identify those that are physically suitable, potentially available under planning scheme provisions and in the case of urban residential development, intended to be serviced with reticulated water and sewerage. By comparing dwelling projections against the residential land supply, an estimate of supply can be calculated and any potential shortages identified.

A state-wide dataset (WM1229) containing the river improvement areas in force in legislation currently, and listing the corresponding river improvement trust. A trust is a statutory body constituted under the River Improvement Trust Act 1940 to protect and improve rivers, repair and prevent damage to rivers and prevent or mitigate flooding of land by riverine flood. For more information see http://www.qld.gov.au/environment/water/catchments/trusts . WM1229 replaced WM1125 due to the River Improvement Trust Amendment Regulation (No. 1) 2017 (Subordinate Legislation No. 135) abolishing the Pioneer River Improvement Area [WM1119], effective 1/7/14. Hence WM1229 is equivalent to WM1225, excluding WM1119.(Reference: CAS3059.)

SILO is a Queensland Government database containing continuous daily climate data for Australia from 1889 to present, in a number of ready-to-use formats, suitable for modelling and research applications. The SILO database contains two major classes of data: point (station) time series and spatial grids, both based on observed data from the Bureau of Meteorology ADAM (Australian Data Archive for Meteorology) database. For point data, interpolated or derived values are used where observations are missing. Gridded data are spatially interpolated from observations.
