Abstract
Geoscience Australia defines a borehole as the generalized term for any narrow shaft drilled in the ground, either vertically or horizontally, and would include Mineral Drillholes, Petroleum Wells and Water Bores along with a variety of others types, but does not include Costean, Trench or Pit. For the purpose of a borehole as defined by GeoSciML Borehole 3.0, the dataset has been restricted to onshore and offshore Australian boreholes, and bores that have the potential to support geological investigations and assessment of a variety of resources.

Lineage
The Bureau of Meteorology has been commissioned by the Office of Water Science (OWS) to lead a project to deliver an extensible and accessible on-line information platform to provide government, industry and the community with consistent and transparent access to quality-assured environmental information required by, and generated from Bioregional Assessments and on-going monitoring in Australia's major coal basins. Geoscience Australia (GA) and the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) will partner with the Bureau to deliver the platform and the Bureau will enter into subsidiary agreements with those organisations. Through the three partners, this project brings together the Australian Government's leading national environmental informatics research, hydro-geological assessment and water information delivery capabilities. The information contained within this data set has been selected from the GA corporate data with the following business logic applied: a.Security rating of the data is open file b.Only active records are included c.Only Australian Records are included d.A decision was made to exclude any boreholes that had no defined location. GA Corporate data has been sourced from a variety of place including (but not limited to) Mineral and Petroleum Exploration companies, State Geological Surveys and Water Authorities as well as internal drilling programs.
