WetlandMaps

To view interactive maps and wetlands data:
Launch WetlandMaps

WetlandMaps provides an interactive map service that aims to give users fast and easy access to wetland information via a web-based Geographic Information System (GIS).

WetlandMaps was developed as a project under the Queensland Wetlands Program and is being delivered as part of Information Queensland’s online atlas.

The data provided by WetlandMaps is sourced from the Department of Environment and Resource Management and external parties. Information sources are acknowledged through the metadata links (located in the legend) with all data.

WetlandMaps features                                                 

  • Dynamic legend to turn layers on and off  
  • Links to metadata
  • View and query wetland data, supporting environmental data and other contextual base data (administrative, transport networks, etc.)
  • Location searches (address search, lot/plan search, coordinate search and general search)
  • Basic GIS functionality such as:
    • feature selection
    • draw custom graphics
    • buffer feature selections or drawn graphics
    • produce standard, basic reports for data intersecting with selected features, drawings and buffers

Updates to the Wetland GIS layers and supporting data will be incorporated as they become available.  Further reporting functionality will be integrated in future releases.

Background

During consultation with stakeholders, the Queensland Wetlands Program found there was a need for an easy-to-use, interactive interface for wetland information discovery and delivery. It was also important that the information be current and easily available to all sectors of government, community and industry.

WetlandMaps has been developed to deliver on this need.

The map server was developed in partnership with Information Queensland. Information Queensland is an interagency project that aims to give users fast and easy access to Queensland Government information via a one-stop web portal. Information Queensland is supporting WetlandMaps and is providing the generic map viewer interface.
