These datasets cover approximately 1100 sq km in the central sector of the Hinchinbrook Shire Council and over all of Orpheus Island and are part of the 2009 Tropical 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 1400 sq km in the northern sector of the Lockyer Valley Regional Council and comprise the 2010 Lockyer Valley LiDAR capture project. This project, undertaken by AAM Pty Ltd 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, 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

The Asia-Pacific region is highly susceptible to a variety of natural hazards. In particular, geophysical and atmospheric hazards threaten the livelihood of people within the region and the impacts of these hazards can significantly affect economic development. The Australian Agency for International Development (AusAID) has identified Disaster Risk Reduction as a priority in a number of countries in the Asia-Pacific region. Geoscience Australia is partnering with AusAID to strengthen the capacity of governments in Indonesia, the Philippines and Papua New Guinea to undertake natural hazard risk and impact analysis. The objective of these programs is to better prepare for, and protect from, natural disasters by informing the reduction in risk from various hazards. It is also expected that this enhanced capacity can be further applied to climate change impacts analysis. A key aspect of each the programs is the application of spatial information for hazard modelling, development of information on exposure (e.g. elements at risk such as residential buildings, key facilities, infrastructure) and the understanding of the vulnerability of structures, communities and infrastructure. Geoscience Australia is providing technical leadership and support to partner agencies in the identification of existing datasets and through provision of new and enhanced data. Geoscience Australia is supporting the development and management of value-added, spatially-enabled datasets in a number of locations to underpin the natural hazard risk analysis process. These activities also aim to provide technical partners with repeatable techniques and sustainable tools for the ongoing development and maintenance of these datasets into the future.

Abstract. Severe wind is one of the major natural hazards in Australia. The component contributors to economic loss in Australia with regards to severe wind are tropical cyclones, thunderstorms and sub-tropical (synoptic) storms. Geoscience Australia's Risk and Impact Analysis Group (RIAG) is developing mathematical models to study a number of natural hazards including wind hazard. This paper discusses wind hazard under current and future climate using RIAG's synoptic wind hazard model. This model can be used in non-cyclonic regions of Australia (Region A in the Australian-New Zealand Wind Loading Standard; AS/NZS 1170.2:2002) where the wind hazard is dominated by synoptic and thunderstorm gust winds.

Between the 24th and 26th of August 2011 aerial photography of Christmas Island was obtained by AAM using light aircraft. The imagery has a 15cm on ground pixel size resolution. This metadata sheet refers to the full imagery mosaic of Christmas Island (CI_2011_orth.ecw). AAM also provided the imagery to Geoscience Australia as 1km ecw and tiff tiles (196 tiles), along with the raw non-georeferenced images. Only the Christmas Island full mosaic is provided in the CIGIS package. Other data can be requested from Geoscience Australia.

This dataset reflects the boundaries of those Indigenous Land Use Agreements (ILUA) that have entered the notification process or have been registered and placed on the Register of Indigenous Land Use Agreements (s199A, Native Title Act; Commonwealth). This is a national dataset. Aspatial attribution includes National Native Title Tribunal number, Name, Agreement Type, Proponent, Area and Registration Date. Geospatial data portraying native title information produced by the National Native Title Tribunal may not be on-sold. Value added products using this data must acknowledge the National Native Title Tribunal as the data source and include the NNTT disclaimer.

This dataset reflects the external boundaries of all native title determination and compensation applications that are currently recognized and active within the Federal Court process. Applications that are non-active (i.e. withdrawn, dismissed, finalised, rejected or combined) are only included as aspatial records for completeness. This is a national dataset with data partitioned by jurisdiction (State), for ease of use. Applications stored for each jurisdiction dataset include applications which overlap into adjoining jurisdictions as well as applications which overlap with these for completeness. This dataset depicts the spatial definition of active Claimant and Non-claimant native title determination applications and compensation applications. Where possible these may include internal boundaries or areas excluded. Aspatial attribution includes National Native Title Tribunal number, Federal Court number, application status and the names of both the NNTT Case Manager and Lead Member where assigned to the application. Applications included on the Schedule of Native Title (Federal Court) include all registered and unregistered applications as well as determined applications that are yet to be finalized. Geospatial data portraying native title information produced by the National Native Title Tribunal may not be on-sold. Value added products using this data must acknowledge the National Native Title Tribunal as the data source and include the NNTT disclaimer.

This dataset attempts to reflect the boundaries of claimant applications for Native Title as per the Register of Native Title Claims (s185, Native Title Act; Commonwealth). This is a national dataset but data is stored by jurisdiction (State), for ease of use. Applications stored for each jurisdiction dataset include applications which overlap into adjoining jurisdictions as well as applications which overlap with these. This dataset depicts the spatial record of registered claimant applications. Aspatial attribution includes National Native Title Tribunal number, Federal Court number, application status and the names of both the NNTT Case Manager and Lead Member assigned to the application. Applicants of registered applications have the Right To Negotiate (RTN) with respect to certain types of Future Acts over the area being claimed. Whilst applications that are determined are recorded on a separate register, all registered applications remain on the Register of Native Title Claims until otherwise finalised.. Geospatial data portraying native title information produced by the National Native Title Tribunal may not be on-sold. Value added products using this data must acknowledge the National Native Title Tribunal as the data source and include the NNTT disclaimer.
