The data sets are organised into two group layers. The 'Structural Framework
all' group provides the entire Structural framework dataset in one layer. The
'Structural Framework by Age or Orogen' group provides the Structural
framework in layers based on age and structural feature. The geological
framework of Queensland is classified by structural or tectonic unit
(provinces and basins) in which the rocks formed. These are referred to as
basins (or in some cases troughs and depressions) where the original form and
structure are still apparent. Provinces (and subprovinces) are generally older
basins that have been strongly tectonised and/or metamorphosed so that the
original basin extent and form are no longer preserved. Note that intrusive
and some related volcanic rocks that overlap these provinces and basins have
not been included in this classification. The map has been compiled using
boundaries modified and generalised from the 1:2 000 000 Queensland Geology
map (2012). Subsurface basins are also shown and these are based on data and
published interpretations from petroleum exploration and geophysical surveys
(seismic, gravity and magnetics). In April 2026 a boundary was added for the
Taroom Trough, interpreted as the principal depocentre of the Bowen Basin. The
outline shown uses the −3000 m depth to basement contour (Geognostics
OZSEEBASE, 2021), as a visual guide to the basin’s deeper structural domain;
this contour is provided for reference only and does not represent a formally
defined boundary. South Nicholson Basin - Extent revised July 2026 by NRMMRRD
staff, using a combination of the Australian Geological Provinces dataset,
2018.01 edition, Geoscience Australia (GA) and Detailed Surface and Solid
geology - Queensland, published 2026-07-14. Capentaria Basin compiled using
boundaries modified and generalised from the 1:2 000 000 Queensland Geology
map (2012). Minor revision was carried out by NRMMRRD staff in July 2026 using
Detailed Surface and Solid geology - Queensland, published 2026-07-14 to match
updated South Nicholson Basin outcrop. Georgina Basin compiled using
boundaries modified and generalised from the 1:2 000 000 Queensland Geology
map (2012). Subsurface extent is based on data and published interpretations
from petroleum exploration and geophysical surveys (seismic, gravity, and
magnetics). A partial revision was carried out by NRMMRRD staff in July 2026
using Detailed Surface and Solid geology - Queensland, published 2026-07-14.
Western Subprovince compiled using boundaries modified and generalised from
the 1:2 000 000 Queensland Geology map (2012). A partial revision was carried
out by NRMMRRD staff in July 2026 using Detailed Surface and Solid geology -
Queensland, published 2026-07-14.
