Topographic data schema changes
Read about the new topographic schema changes and how these affect web services.
Release of Vector Tile Basemaps
The Queensland Government has released a new range of vector tile basemaps. These will replace the current range of raster tile basemaps which have entered mature support and will deprecated by the end of 2024. New service URL’s are as follows:
Variant | URL |
Blue | |
Colour | |
Dark Grey | |
ImageryLabel | |
Light Grey | |
Monochrome | |
Pastel | |
Topographic |
Why the change
Over time, the existing raster basemaps have become increasingly cumbersome to produce, in both human and technical resources, resulting in outdated spatial data being displayed. Moving basemap production to vector tile technology allows a far quicker and less involved method of production, allowing them to be updated more frequently. This shift mirrors industry trends and has improved printing capability.
What you need to do
In any your mapping applications you maintain, adjust any saved URL’s , change to the new vector basemaps from a new REST endpoint endpoints here.
Queensland Qld Globe and GeoResGlobe users may need to resave or add the new vector basemaps to any saved maps they may havemap.
Spatial Portal, QPortal and QSpatial Live users will need to look for the new vector basemaps.

Cloud migration project
As part of the department’s transition to the cloud, end-of-life infrastructure hosted on-premises is being shut down and replaced with services hosted in the cloud.
The department offers many open-data spatial services via a variety of protocols via its on-premises infrastructure, and the cloud services provide like-for-like replacement where possible, with functionality as near-to-identical as possible. However, due to underlying platform changes, slight differences in certain aspects are unavoidable. It is strongly recommended that transitioning usage of services be undertaken as a proactive activity, to allow time for adequate testing.
Below is a list of the open-data services for which the on-premises versions have now been deprecated, with a shutdown date provided, along with replacement service URLs, and any associated information.
