Water refers to the State's network of both natural and constructed water features, ensuring data represents their extent, position, and primary characteristics for informative display and reference.
This theme includes the following feature classes:
A polyline feature class displaying the coastline of the state of Queensland, including marine (offshore) islands.
Coastline
A polyline feature class displaying the coastline of the state of Queensland, including marine (offshore) islands.

A Persistent Feature Identifier (PFI) is generated for each feature at the point of creation in the database. 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)
UFI
No

A Unique Feature Identifier (UFI) is generated for each new feature at the point of creation in the database (at this point the PFI and UFI will be the same). 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

COASTLINE
Definition: - The line defining boundary between the mainland, marine (offshore) islands, and the sea being Mean High Water (MHW).
Alternate Terms: Coast, State border
Capture as a 2D polyline.
The location is plotted from orthorectified imagery
Feature Type “Coastline” Foundation - “Coastline” is positioned at Mean High Water (MHW).
The other two “Coastline” Formation features are Indefinite Coastline and Rocky Foreshore.
“Indefinite Coastline” is captured coincident with the seaward edge of any vegetation (mangrove) below Mean High Water (MHW)
“Rocky Foreshore” is captured at Mean High Water (MHW) observed on the rocky coastal foreshore. (natural or constructed)
The Feature Type “Coastline” does not cross the entrances of identified waterbody areas features (greater than 30 metres) meeting the sea. This is when a “Coastline Junction” feature is placed.
COASTLINE JUNCTION
Definition: - The artificial line between waterbodies of the mainland, marine (offshore) islands and the sea.
Alternate Terms:
Capture as a straight 2D polyline
The polyline is the placed as the connector cross the entrances of identified waterbody areas meeting the Sea, joining the two sides of the Feature Type “Coastline”.
The polyline has a vertex placed midway to snap the waterbody area connector.
Always show “Formation” – Not Applicable
Pondage Areas
