Due to its large size, the data for Torres Strait has been included in this dataset. For other straits, channels, passages, narrows, gutters, please refer to the Linear Landforms - Queensland dataset. The name of the larger water body (e.g. Sea, Ocean) that the feature is in, is included within the Additional Names field.
Feature Types: GULF - An large inlet of the sea almost surrounded by land.
SEA - A large body of salt water that is surrounded in whole or in part by land. STRAIT - A large navigable waterway that connects two larger bodies of water (See also the definition of Strait in the Linear Landforms - Queensland dataset)
Attributes: FEATURE_TYPE (Feature Type) - Unique feature type that identifies the type of feature. e.g. Island Group NAME (Name) - The name of the feature
ALTERNATE_NAME (Alternate Name) - An alternate name of the feature if available from the Queensland Place Names Database, otherwise left blank.
QLD_PNDB_ID (Qld PNDB ID) - Queensland Place Names Database unique identifier
ATTRIBUTE_SOURCE (Attribute Source) - The source map, or data where the name of the feature was obtained from.
(e.g., AHO - Australian Hydrographic Office, IHO – International Hydrographic Organisation) ATTRIBUTE_DATE (Attribute Date) - Date of the source map or data where the name of the feature was obtained from. ADDITIONAL_NAMES (Additional Names) - Other names of the feature if not recorded in the Queensland Place Names Database. Maybe commonly known by other names or have different spelling. Multiple names can be shown, separated by a comma.
ADD_NAMES_SOURCE (Additional Names Source) - The source map or data that the additional names of the feature were obtained from. Multiple sources can be shown, separated by a comma. If multiple sources are shown, the written sequence will be the same as the written sequence of the names themselves.
FEATURE_SOURCE (Feature Source) - The source imagery, map, or data that the spatial location and shape of the of the feature was obtained from. (e.g., AHO - Australian Hydrographic Office, IHO – International Hydrographic Organisation) FEATURE_DATE (Feature Date) - Date of the source imagery, map, or data that the spatial location and shape of the feature was obtained from.
PFI (PFI) - A Persistent Feature Identifier (PFI) is generated once for each feature at the point of creation. The value of the PFI will stay with the feature through all changes to the feature (both spatial and non-spatial) until the feature is retired.
UFI (UFI) - A Unique Feature Identifier (UFI) is generated once for each new feature at the point of creation (at this point the PFI and UFI will be the same). The value of the UFI will stay with the feature through all changes to the feature (both spatial and non-spatial) unless the feature is split into multiple other parts. If the feature is split, the separate parts will retain the original PFI but new UFI’s will be generated for the split parts.
CREATED_DATE (Created Date) - The date the feature was originally captured and first loaded to the database
LAST_EDITED_DATE (Last Edited Date) - Date of the last editing or revision to the feature
DIMENSION_M2 (Dimension (m²)) - The area of the feature measured in square metres (Albers projection)
UPPER_SCALE (Upper Scale) - The upper scale for which the feature should be considered suitable TEXT_NOTE (Text Note) - For mapping purposes. Additional annotation that can be shown on a map.
ADD_INFORMATION (Additional Informmation) - A comment field (additional information)
This dataset is stored in an ESRI Geodatabase. Some columns names may be shortened if downloaded in the ESRI shape format.

true
This dataset was derived from and is coincident with the "Coastline - Queensland" dataset and the Australian Maritime Exclusive Economic Zone dataset. Within the "Coastline - Queensland" dataset, the coastline was digitized from the most current imagery by defining mean high water from sand coloration and debris lines. Where available, the highest astronomical tide line generated from LiDAR was used to help define the line. Were the line is obscured by vegetation, in particular mangroves; the seaward edge of the vegetation is adopted. The coastline feature does not cross the entrances to large inland waterbodies. In these instances, a feature type Junction is used to seamlessly connect the coastline. The Australian Maritime Exclusive Economic Zone dataset is as supplied by Geoscience Australia. Where Australia has agreements with neighbouring countries these treaty lines are also included in the data. The dataset has been compiled by Geoscience Australia in consultation with other relevant Commonwealth Government agencies including the Attorney-General's Department, the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade as well as the Australian Hydrographic Office. Australia's maritime boundaries are computed from the territorial sea baseline which has been mapped by Geoscience Australia using the most reliable information available at the time it was compiled. However, it should be noted that the territorial sea baseline supplied in AMB is not intended to be a comprehensive coastline dataset and only contains features relevant to maritime boundary determination. Basepoints that generate the zone boundaries are supplied in separate files. Other data included in AMB are the `Scheduled Area' boundaries of the Petroleum (Submerged Lands) Act 1967 (Cth), individual line and point files depicting maritime boundary agreements with neighbouring countries, and polygon data of the various maritime zones supplied primarily for mapping purposes. AMB data is clearly attributed providing information about the source material used to determine the baseline and linking the baseline with the various limits. The data is available in geographical coordinates which can be referenced to the WGS84 datum which is used on charts and by mariners more generally. The area of coverage of the AMB data is for the whole of the Australian marine jurisdiction which includes waters adjacent to the mainland, offshore islands and External Territories. The geographical extent is approximately between the latitude limits of 7 S to 70 S and the longitude limits 40 E to 175 E. This dataset includes the following disclaimer: AMB data is a digital representation of the territorial sea baseline and of the outer limits of Australia's maritime zones. The baseline and zones are established under the Seas and Submerged Lands Act 1973. The data also includes a representation of the limits by which the waters adjacent to each of the Australian States and of the Northern Territory are determined under the Coastal Waters (State Powers) Act 1980, Coastal Waters (Northern Territory Powers) Act 1980 and the Petroleum (Submerged Lands) Act 1967. In the event of an inconsistency between AMB data and the baselines and limits under the legislation, the latter prevails.
The seaward extent of the Gulf of Carpentaria has been taken as a straight line from Cape Arnhem in the Northern Territory to Cape Slade on Cape York Peninsula.
Names were available have been primarily sourced from the Queensland Place Names Database or from 1:100000 topographic mapping, as well as the International Hydrographic Organisation, Limits of Oceans and Seas 3rd Edition Published 1953. The extent of the Torres Strait was obtained from the International Hydrographic Organisation, Limits of Oceans and Seas 4th Edition Published 2002. This version however is in draft form only and has never been ratified due to intractable differences over sea names outside of Australia's area of interest. This dataset is GDA2020 Compliant. The source data, and therefore the captured features, were captured as GDA94 (horizontal only). This data has been projected to GDA2020 by using ArcGIS Pro geoprocessing tool Project geoprocessing. Using geographic transformation parameters ‘GDA94 to GDA2020 NTv2 3 Conformal’.
The data has also been processed to remove any redundant vertices by using ArcGIS Pro’s Simplify Polygon geoprocessing tool. Retain critical points (Douglas-Peucker) method was used for the Simplification Algorithm and a Simplification tolerance of 0.25m. The data was further processed using an ESRI validation in a Repair Geometry geoprocessing tool and deleting any features with Null geometry.
