Purpose
To provide digital data displaying Queensland’s reef system (includes terms: bank, bar, reef, shallows, shoal, spit). The primary objective of this dataset is to provide a cartographic portrayal of Queensland's natural features and should be interpreted and utilised correctly. It is suitable for use in land administration, emergency management, topographic mapping and in the production of web-based mapping applications.

Data time period: 2009-01-01 to 2025-08-22
