Supplemental information about the data
Features within this dataset are sourced from Watercourse lines - Queensland and Canal lines - Queensland.
Those features within the drainage basins that flow into the Coral Sea are generally captured at 1:25000 mapping specifications, those features within the Fitzroy, Burdekin and Murray Darling drainage basins and those features that flow towards Lake Eyre have been captured at 1:100000 mapping specifications while those that flow into the Gulf of Carpentaria or are within Cape York Peninsula have been captured at 1:50000 mapping specifications.

Report
Data quality report, measure description
The horizontal positional accuracy of the data that has been used to compile this dataset is as follows: Orthophotography +/- 1m, Satellite Imagery +/- 2.5m, Geoscience Australia 1:250000 Data +/- 20m. 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.
