Website overhaul in preparation for NQWMP website public release

Thanks to all the NQWMP Beta version testers who have provided valuable feedback on the website functionality. Over the next 6 weeks the website will be undergoing some significant upgrades to increase functionality and improve website design. During this time, there will be some modifications to the available functionality of the website and short periods where full access to the website functionality is not possible. We apologise in advance for any inconvenience this may cause and trust you will appreciate the additional functionality that the public release of the NQWMP website will bring.

Website Speed Improvements

We have rolled out some improvements to the Create Maps feature which substantially improves performance.

The improvements in map redraw are most noticeable when using the imagery and raster topographic map layers.

New Data Available

We added a number of new data sets today including:

QFRS Boundaries

We have created a new QFRS layer group for these new layers.
  • updated rural brigade boundaries
  • fire warden districts
  • chief fire warden districts
  • rural fire service regions

Queensland Rail Data - Cardwell to Forsayth

All railway layers are within the infrastructure group.
  • station locations
