The Primary Coastal Sediment Compartment data set represents a regional-scale (1:250 000 - 1:100 000) compartmentalisation of the Australian coastal zone into spatial units within (and between) which sediment movement processes are considered to be significant at scales relevant to coastal management. The Primary and accompanying Secondary Coastal Sediment Compartment data sets were created by a panel of coastal science experts who developed a series of broader scale data sets (Coastal Realms, Regions and Divisions) in order to hierarchically subdivide the coastal zone on the basis of key environmental attributes. Once the regional (1:250 000) scale was reached expert knowledge of coastal geomorphology and processes was used to further refine the sub-division and create both the Primary and Secondary Sediment Compartment data sets. Environmental factors determining the occurrence and extents of these compartments include major geological structures, major geomorphic process boundaries, orientation of the coastline and recurring patterns of landform and geology - these attributes are given in priority order below. 1 - Gross lithological/geological changes (e.g. transition from sedimentary to igneous rocks). 2 - Geomorphic (topographic) features characterising a compartment boundary (often bedrock-controlled) (e.g. peninsulas, headlands, cliffs). 3 - Dominant landform types (e.g. large cuspate foreland, tombolos and extensive sandy beaches versus headland-bound pocket beaches). 4 - Changes in the orientation (aspect) of the shoreline.

The Divisions data set was created as one of three broad-scale data layers to facilitate the definition of Primary and Secondary compartments. The Divisions data is provided so that the logic of the compartment creation can be understood. With regards to spatial scale, the Divisions data set represents one of the mid-scale products, as shown in the hierarchical listing for all of the polygon data sets shown below: - Coastal Realms (1:5 000 000) - Coastal Regions (1:1 000 000) - Coastal Divisions (1:250 000) - Primary Compartments (1:250 000 - 1:100 000) - Secondary Compartments (1:100 000 - 1:25 000)

The Secondary Coastal Sediment Compartment data set represents a sub-regional-scale (1:100 000 - 1:25 000) compartmentalisation of the Australian coastal zone into spatial units within (and between) which sediment movement processes are considered to be significant at scales relevant to coastal management. The Primary and accompanying Secondary Coastal Sediment Compartment data sets were created by a panel of coastal science experts who developed a series of broader scale data sets (Coastal Realms, Regions and Divisions) in order to hierarchically subdivide the coastal zone on the basis of key environmental attributes. Once the regional (1:250 000) scale was reached expert knowledge of coastal geomorphology and processes was used to further refine the sub-division and create both the Primary and Secondary Sediment Compartment data sets.

The Realms data set was created as one of three broad-scale data layers to facilitate the definition of Primary and Secondary compartments. The Realms data is provided so that the logic of the compartment creation can be understood. With regards to spatial scale, the Realms data set represents the smallest scale product, as shown in the hierarchical listing for all of the polygon data sets shown below: - Coastal Realms (1:5 000 000) - Coastal Regions (1:1 000 000) - Coastal Divisions (1:250 000) - Primary Compartments (1:250 000 - 1:100 000) - Secondary Compartments (1:100 000 - 1:25 000)

These datasets cover approximately 3500 sq km in the central sector of the Gladstone Regional Council and are part of the 2009 Capricorn Coast LiDAR capture project. This project, undertaken by Fugro Spatial Solutions Pty Ltd on behalf of the Queensland Government captured highly accurate elevation data using LiDAR technology. Available dataset formats (in 2 kilometre tiles) are: - Classified las (LiDAR Data Exchange Format where strikes are classified as ground, non-ground or building) - 1 metre Digital Elevation Model (DEM) in ASCII xyz - 1 metre Digital Elevation Model (DEM) in ESRI ASCII grid - 0.25 metre contours in ESRI Shape

These datasets cover approximately 2290 sq km in the eastern and southern sectors of the Cairns Regional Council and were captured as part of the 2010 Cairns LiDAR project. This project, undertaken by Terranean Mapping Technologies on behalf of the Queensland Government captured highly accurate elevation data using LiDAR technology. Available dataset formats (in 1 kilometre tiles) are: - Classified las (LiDAR Data Exchange Format where strikes are classified as ground, vegetation or building) - 1 metre Digital Elevation Model (DEM) in ASCII xyz - 1 metre Digital Elevation Model (DEM) in ESRI ASCII grid - 0.25 metre contours in ESRI Shape

This job was part of the Coastal capture program. It captures from the 10m contour interval to the adjoining southern and western jobs of Wooli & Grafton.
