Moratorium Maps

For enquiries relating to:

• Moratorium Maps, please visit the vegetation management web page (if selected this page will be presented in a new window).
• Essential Habitat, please e-mail essential.habitat@epa.qld.gov.au.
• Land clearing or vegetation management contact your local vegetation management officer.

This website enables you to select an area of interest and obtain a Regional Ecosystem Map (REMAP) and an Essential Habitat Map or a Moratorium Map in Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF) that can be e-mailed to a valid e-mail address.

Please note that you will receive a Regional Ecosystem Map and a Vegetation Management Act Essential Habitat Map in the same PDF file, as well as a species list for the Vegetation Management Act Essential Habitat.

Information about your map request is collected to process this transaction. Map requests including that information are logged for quality assurance and product enhancement purposes only.

Don't know your Lot on Plan?
Information Queensland offers a service where you can locate your property. Zoom in to the locality and select 'Property' in the Area of Interest list on the left-hand side and use the 'Identify' tool. You can then request an RE map directly from the Information Queensland site by selecting the regional ecosystems map option from the property report.

Don't know the coordinates of a place?
Geoscience Australia offers a service where you can obtain the digital degrees of any place in the national gazetteer.

• Information shown on the regional ecosystem map includes current data for the distribution and status of regional ecosystems as listed in the schedule of the Vegetation Management Amendment Regulation (2005) and State wildlife corridors, cadastral parcels, National Park and State Forest boundaries, bioregion boundaries, towns and roads. The remnant vegetation cover is shown in areas where regional ecosystem mapping is not available (West and north Queensland).
• Recent Map Amendments are indicated on the map.
• Map elements include a scalebar, locality diagram, legend and graticule showing latitudes and longitudes.
• The maps are produced at a map scale of 1:100,000 except for some areas in Southeast Queensland where 1:50,000 scale mapping is available.
• The RE maps are A3 portrait and should be printed at this size.

Create a map by entering a Lot on Plan number

Select map type

2003 Regional Ecosystem Map
Moratorium Map

• Only one Lot on Plan number can be entered for each map.
• The map will show cadastral lines in the vicinity.
• The Lot on Plan number needs to be entered without spaces.
• If the Lot on Plan number is invalid you will receive an email advising that the request for a map has failed.
• The Lot on Plan number is not case sensitive, i.e. 'a' is the same as 'A'.

OR

Create a map by entering a central coordinate

Select map type

2003 Regional Ecosystem Map
Moratorium Map

• The coordinate has to be given in decimal degrees (e.g. 154.5083).
• If your coordinate is in degrees, minutes and seconds (e.g. 154° 30’ 30”) use the degrees calculator (top right) to get degrees minutes seconds changed into decimal degrees format.
• The coordinate should be centred on your area of interest.
• A latitude and longitude is required for each corner of the bounding box.
• The area covered by the map, will be approximately 420 square kilometres at a scale of 1:100,000 or if the centroid falls within the nominated 1:50,000 map scale area in Southeast Queensland, 100 square kilometres.
• The input boxes are formatted to accept two integers and four decimal places for a latitude, and three integers and four decimal places for a longitude.
• The negative sign is automatically added to the latitude.
