This dataset shows whether Local Government Areas (LGAs) in Queensland are fully drought-declared, partly drought-declared or not drought-declared. Drought declarations are made by the Minister for Agricultural Industry Development and Fisheries based on the advice of Local Drought Committees (LDCs). LDCs will recommend a declaration when an area meets the Queensland Government's drought criteria; principally a one-in-ten-year rainfall deficiency, amongst other significant factors. Additionally, there may be a number of Individually Droughted Properties (IDPs) outside the shires shown. For details, plus a map and description of the current drought declarations, go to The Long Paddock web site: https://www.longpaddock.qld.gov.au/drought/drought-declarations/

Complete. This dataset shows which Local Government Areas (LGAs) in Queensland are fully drought-declared. Drought declarations are made by the Minister for Agricultural Industry Development and Fisheries based on the advice of Local Drought Committees (LDCs). LDCs will recommend a declaration when an area meets the Queensland Government's drought criteria; principally a one in 10 year rainfall deficiency, amongst other significant factors. A map and description of the current drought declarations may be found at The Long Paddock web site: https://www.longpaddock.qld.gov.au/drought/drought-declarations/

The data is to a standard determined as fit for the purpose for which it was collected.
true
This dataset is GDA2020 compatible. The source data, and therefore the captured features are georeferenced as GDA94 (horizontal only). The horizontal accuracy of the geo-referencing and/or data collection method for this example greater than the datum offset between GDA94 and GDA2020 (1.8 meters). The resulting dataset has been nominated as a low-accuracy GDA2020 dataset. As this data has not directly measured in GDA2020, nor transformed to GDA2020 the resulting data is 'GDA2020 Compatible', not Compliant.
Based on Local Government Area boundaries as at 12 April 2019. Updated to the last drought declarations active from 1 August 2021 as per details on https://www.business.qld.gov.au/industries/farms-fishing-forestry/agriculture/rural-disaster-recovery/drought/declarations-revocations
Boundaries are taken from Local Government Boundaries dated 14 May 2018.
