Transport Networks

Transport networks, also known as transportation or transit networks, are interconnected systems that facilitate the movement of people, goods, and information within and between different geographical locations. Identifies the routes, infrastructure and zones of rail, air, and environmentally friendly transport options. The majority of features under this data theme for the Queensland Digital Topographic data are considered Transport infrastructure.

This theme includes the following feature classes:

The value of the PFI will stay with the feature through all changes to the feature (both spatial and non-spatial) until the feature is retired. (See Persistent and Unique Feature Identifiers)

The value of the UFI will stay with the feature through all changes to the feature (both spatial and non-spatial) unless the feature is split into multiple other parts. If the feature is split, the separate parts will retain the original PFI but new UFI’s will be generated for the split parts. (See Persistent and Unique Feature Identifiers)
