Types of spatial data

QSpatial includes data from participating Queensland Government agencies and displays metadata about downloadable data, either extracted on the fly or pre-packaged, available web map services, as well as information about offline resources.

Searching this repository you can discover, select and download spatial data over an area of interest. The data you download can be in a selected format which is specified by the publisher and advertised in the metadata: GDb, Shp, TAB, KMZ, map coverage data, image data and text file data as well as web services (APIs), or a pre-packaged format (DP).

Viewing spatial data

In most cases, to view the spatial data downloaded from QSpatial you will need access to Geographic Information System (GIS) software. If you don't have access to GIS software, view most all of the data in the Queensland Globe.
