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:
A polygon feature class displaying the extent of sections or zones within and around an airport, usually incorporating runways, aircraft maintenance and passenger facilities.
Airport Areas
A polygon feature class displaying the extent of sections or zones within and around an airport, usually incorporating runways, aircraft maintenance and passenger facilities.

PFI
No
Text
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
Text
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)

Feature Types:
Airport Area – The area set aside for use as a licenced, certified or registered facility by the Civil Aviation Safety Authority, usually equipped with runways, taxiways and aircraft maintenance and passenger facilities.
Aerodrome – An area of land or water, the use of which as an aerodrome is authorised under the regulations, intended to be used wholly or partly for the arrival, departure, or movement of aircraft. (including any buildings, installations, and equipment).
Domestic Airport – An airport that provides access to intrastate and interstate flights (no custom or immigration facilities available)
International Airport – Designated as an airport of entry and departure for international air traffic where customs, immigration, public health, animal, and plant quarantine checks are carried out. Also, can receive scheduled domestic and regional airline traffic.
Regional Airport - All non-principal state airports including rural and remote airports, they provide limited scheduled flights. (no custom or immigration facilities available)
Civil – Primarily used by civilian aircraft
Civil_Military – Used by both civilian and military aircraft on a regular basis
Military – Restricted to military use only *not often mapped due to restrictions.
Individual features may not agree with the following specifications to improve mapping legibility.
1:100 000 – < 250,000 m²
1:250 000 – >/= 250,000 m² and < 1,000,000 m²
1:1 000 000 – >/= 1,000,000 m²
AERODROME
Definition: An area of land or water, the use of which as an aerodrome is authorised under the regulations, intended to be used wholly or partly for the arrival, departure, or movement of aircraft. (including any buildings, installations, and equipment).
Alternate Terms: Military installation
Capture as a 2D polygon
If appropriate, the cadastre is used to delineate the extent of the feature, including facilities and associated grounds
If the cadastre does not represent the maintained or used area of the feature, the extent can be plotted from orthorectified imagery (the extent may follow fence lines, maintained area or in combination with the cadastre)
Locations can be obtained from other datasets, existing mapping, address details, tourist publications, organisations, Government websites, or other source material.
DOMESTIC AIRPORT
Definition: An airport that provides access to intrastate and interstate flights (no custom or immigration facilities available).
Alternate Terms:
Capture as a 2D polygon
