Watercourse identification map - downstream limits - Queensland - The administrative demarcation point between where water is managed under the Water Act 2000 or the Coastal Protection and Management Act 1995. Nominally the point to which the high spring tide ordinarily flows and reflows in the watercourse, whether due to a natural cause or an artificial barrier. Approvals/authorisations may be required under the Water Act 2000 for activities that propose to take or interfere with water in a watercourse upstream of a downstream limit. The Act does not apply to tidal streams or estuaries, downstream of the marked downstream limit, which are managed under the Coastal Protection and Management Act 1995.
Watercourse identification map - drainage features - Queensland - This dataset represents drainage lines where water is usually absent and will assist in determining what authorisations may or may not be needed to take water from the drainage lines or undertake other activities as covered under the Water Act 2000.
Watercourse identification map - lakes - Queensland - This dataset represents the surface water in a lagoon, swamp or other natural bodies of static water and will assist in determining what authorisations are needed to take water from those features or undertake other activities as covered under the Water Act 2000.
Watercourse identification map - springs - Queensland - This dataset represents springs as defined by the Water Act 2000, and will assist in determining what authorisations are needed to take water from a spring or undertake other activities as covered under the Water Act 2000.
Watercourse identification map - watercourses - Queensland - This dataset represents water within a watercourse, assists in determining what authorisations are needed to take water from a watercourse or undertake other activities as covered under the Water Act 2000.
