Additional human language abstract/description
This dataset is the spatial representation of reserves, protected for the conservation of natural and cultural values and areas managed for the production of forest resources.
Resource purpose/summary
Provides a graphical representation of the protected area estate as managed by QPWS (Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service) for areas managed under the Nature Conservation Act 1992 (National Park of various types, Conservation Park and Resources Reserve), and areas managed under the Forestry Act 1959 (State Forest, Forest Reserve and Timber Reserve).
Not to be used as a definitive absolute location of land parcel boundaries. Refer to the ACC_CODE attribute for the accuracy of land parcels in your area of interest.
Unrestricted to all levels of government and community. Data is available to all government agencies, community groups and individuals. Dataset is available through physical supply and may be made available via web delivery tools, for example, through Department of Reources' internet sites.

Report
Data quality report, measure description
The capture over the whole of the State is ongoing. The Department's Service Delivery Statement is "90% of cadastral survey plans are entered into the DCDB within 7 days of registration". The easement layer in the digital cadastre does not represent the full set of current easements. When the digital cadastre was created, easements that were shown on current survey plans were included. As new plans are registered, easements that are shown on those plans are included when they appear on the title. However, other easements that have not been surveyed do not appear. Furthermore, the department does not have a process by which the issue, surrenders or partial surrenders of easements are notified to administrators of the digital cadastre. A similar situation exits with covenants, profit a prendres and carbon abatement interest in that may not represent a complete dataset due to processes in the titling system and the complexities in the way the interests are recorded. Information about missing easements, encumbrances and interests can be sent to CadastralAdminDataHelp@resources.qld.gov.au The land title is the point of truth for easements and other restrictions.
Report
Data quality report, measure description
The current DCDB can be considered as a seamless map of the State and consists of base cadastral parcels, strata level parcels (secondary interests), volumetric and easement parcels. Base parcels are contiguous with surrounding base parcels. The graphic package and the routines that extract and reload update data to the database have a tolerance of 2mm.
Report
Data quality report, measure description
Positional accuracy values have been allocated to all parcels and are an attribute of the parcel. This value reflects "maximum error" status of the parcel and has been derived from the capture process or assigned as the DCDB data has been spatially upgraded. This derived DCDB dataset contains a field (ACC_CODE) that includes a text description of positional accuracy for each parcel.
Report
Data quality report, measure description
At the time of the initial graphical capture, a segment/parcel number was allocated to uniquely describe each parcel of land. Attribute information collected from plans and maps was then linked to the segment/parcel number to form the relationship between the graphics and the attributes. A double entry process of keying in the attributes was done to eliminate any keying in errors. New update plans are committed to the database through a supervisor signoff process. There are several system validation procedures in the maintenance process and these are run at a required frequency. The estimated accuracy of the attribute information is 98%.
Report
Data quality report, measure description
The estimated accuracy of attribute information is 98% correct exclusive of: - Locality details which are being progressively captured and validated.
