Source layer: Queensland Wetland Data Version 6.0 – Wetland Points
This information is a compilation of location data for point wetland features (rockholes and other wetlands too small to be depicted in wetland areas) from the following sources: Silcock, J. (2009); Glanville, K. (in-prep); and the Queensland Springs Database.
Resource purpose/summary
To report and monitor change in wetland extent and type.

Report
Data quality report, measure description
Positional accuracy varies from ± 0.2m to ± 100m depending on GPS technology employed during surveys. The positional accuracy of point features mapped at a scale of 1:100 000 is +/-100 metres. This dataset is GDA2020 compatible. The source data, and therefore the captured features are georeferenced as GDA94 (horizontal only). The horizontal accuracy of the geo-referencing and/or data collection method for this example is greater than the datum offset between GDA94 and GDA2020 (1.8 meters). The resulting dataset has been nominated as a low-accuracy GDA2020 dataset. As this data has not directly measured in GDA2020, nor transformed to GDA2020 the resulting data is 'GDA2020 Compatible', not Compliant.
