Queensland digital topographic data schema ( Please note: This is a truncated version of the document. The full version will be uploaded by the end of July 2024 )

The Queensland Government is releasing an updated Queensland Topographic data schema for the Topographic digital spatial datasets. This will include changes to layer names, field names, function types and attribute structure.

Below is a list of the QSpatial datasets that will be affected by the schema changes. If you download any of these datasets, now is the time to review your business practice and note any processors or applications that may be impacted by these changes.
