This dataset displays the extent of an urban or rural settlement where cadastral parcels are less than 2.5 hectares and which generally have residential (more than 50), commercial, or industrial buildings constructed on them. It is designed for smaller-scale mapping to provide more simplified and streamlined information.
This Queensland wide dataset provides generalised information for topographical mapping purposes.
To provide digital data displaying displays the extent of an urban or rural settlement where cadastral parcels are less than 2.5 hectares and which generally have residential (more than 50), commercial, or industrial buildings constructed on them across the State of Queensland. The primary objective of this dataset is to provide a cartographic portrayal of Queensland's constructed features and should be interpreted and utilised correctly. It's original purpose was for use in paper maps and was designed to be displayed at smaller scales to reduce mapping clutter and improve visibility. However, with the transition to digital delivery systems, it is displayed at all scales but should be used with caution at larger scales to ensure appropriate application. It is suitable for use in land administration, emergency management, topographic mapping and in the production of web based mapping applications.

Features within this dataset have been captured or updated from the best available data with an attribute within the data describing the source and reliability. Data sources include but not limited to: - Queensland Digital Cadastral Database
- Queensland Orthophotography
- Queensland Valuations and Sales System
Feature Types:
BUILT UP AREA – An urban or rural settlement where cadastral parcel are less than 2.5 hectares and which generally have residential (more than 50), commercial, or industrial buildings constructed on them. Attributes: FEATURE_TYPE (Feature Type) - Unique feature type that identifies the type of feature e.g. Built Up Area
FUNCTION (Function) - Indicates what the purpose of the feature is. (options: Abattoir, Aquatic Centre, Aircraft Hangar, Airport Terminal, Brewery - Distillery, Commercial Premises, Communications Building, Community Building, Defence Building, Detention Centre, Education, Electrical Sub_Station, Emergency Response, Health and Medical Services, Homestead, House, Industrial Complex, Place of Worship, Power Station, Railway Building, Recreational Facility, Refinery, Retirement Village, Shed, Shipping Terminal, Shopping Centre, Sports Facility, Sports Stadium, Tourist Accommodation, Tourist Attraction, Transport Depot, Warehouse, Waste Recycling - Transfer, Water Distribution, Water or Sewage Treatment, Works Depot, Youth Detntion Centre, Other Airport Building, Other Power Building, Other Residential Building, Other Transport Building, Other) NAME (Name) - The name of the feature (if available). For Built up Areas, this is left blank.
ATTRIBUTE_SOURCE (Attribute Source) - The source imagery, map, or data used for attributing the feature. If the feature is named, the attribution would be the source information that the name was obtained from. If the feature is not named, the attribution is the source information which defines what the feature is e.g., aviation hangar
ATTRIBUTE_DATE (Attribute Date) - Date of the source imagery, map, or data used for attributing the feature. FEATURE_SOURCE (Feature Source) - The source imagery, map, or data that the spatial location of the feature was obtained from.
FEATURE_DATE (Feature Date) - Date of the source imagery, map, or data that the spatial location 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 Information) - 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.

The data is to a standard determined as fit for the purpose for which it was collected.
true
Initially for whole of state data capture, the areas of interest were identified from the Queensland Place Names Database (PNDB) that has a Place Type classification of either City, Town or Township. For each place the Digital Cadastral Database (DCDB) was used to create the extent of the feature by combining at least 50 adjacent 2.5ha parcels. Ongoing data updating is performed by digitising the location from departmental imagery (orthophotos and satellite).
The classification for either Commercial, Industrial or Residential is obtained frim the Queensland Valuation and Sales System (QVAS)
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.
