Note that these totals may be lower than the Queensland totals due to incomplete coverage of local government areas.

* Pre-clear riverine wetland statistics are not available in this area. A comprehensive evaluation is currently underway of the effect of identified limitations on the statistical analysis process used to monitor wetland extent change. During this time, selected riverine wetland statistics will be temporarily unavailable as they may be disproportionately impacted. It is expected that this evaluation will be completed in late 2024.

Disclaimer

Areas do not include marine or estuarine waters but do include estuarine wetland vegetation
(e.g. mangroves and tidal flats).

All statistics are approximate and generated based on data transformed to a customised Albers equal-area projection, thus allowing wetland extent change for different regions of Queensland to be comparable.

Areas may change over time as mapping approaches improve.

Totals may not match the sum of individually displayed figures due to the rounding of displayed figures.
