Release of Vector Tile Basemaps
The Queensland Government has released a new range of vector tile basemaps. These will replace the current raster tile basemaps which will deprecated by the end of 2024. New service URL’s are as follows:

Note: the structure of this replacement service is considerably different than the existing on-premises service, but the intent of the service is the same.
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raster basemaps have become increasingly cumbersome to produce, in both human and technical resources, resulting in outdated spatial data being displayed.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 your mapping applications, change to the new vector basemaps from a new REST endpoints here.
Qld Globe and GeoResGlobe users need to resave or add the new vector basemaps to saved map.
Spatial Portal, QPortal and QSpatial Live users will need to look for the new vector basemaps.
