Wetland mapping — Urannah 100K map tile — 8556

KML mapping notes

• The mapping provided here does not have legislative or statutory standing.
• Line work doesn’t always match exactly with the underlying imagery due to scale differences, differences in the way the data was collected or changes to the landscape.
• The wetland mapping was developed in a different geographic projection to the Google Earth imagery.
• We hold no responsibility for what appears in the underlying imagery.
• The KMLs are for general viewing and information purposes only and are not to be used for decision making or legislative purposes.
• When using Google Earth or other viewing program, make reference to their terms of use.

Wetland extents

Based on wetland mapping version 6.0

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.

Wetland extent changes

* 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.
