• http://www.ga.gov.au/meta/ANZCW0703005424.html
• https://www.ga.gov.au/products/servlet/controller?event=GEOCAT_DETAILS&catno=42340

data.australia.gov.au

The Australian Government has a website, data.australia.gov.au, launched in September 2009, to make government datasets available for reuse under amenable licenses.

Datasets under the Geography category are of particular interest to OSMers.

Several projects are underway using the data.

Potential Import of Queensland Protected Areas (National Parks etc)

Queensland Government Information Service has datasets containing National Park, Wetland areas and State Forests are available for the Qld State Govt under a CCBY3 licence. Importing these would improve the Qld map area, (so long as duplicate nodes and clashes with pre-existing data could be resolved). see Australia/Queensland/The Department of Environment and Resource Management/Protected Areas Import
