Executive summary
The Department of Natural Resources and Mines (DNRM) is an economic development agency that
enables the productive and responsible use of our natural resources - water, land, minerals and
energy resources to generate wealth and prosperity for current and future generations of
Queenslanders.
In delivering this outcome, the department acquires extensive information related to the State’s land,
natural resources and mining activities. The information held by the department supports five business
objectives:





A globally competitive mining, petroleum and gas industry;
A safe and healthy resources industry;
Productive and responsible use of our natural resources;
Balance in the access to and use of natural resources;
Regulatory certainty for communities, industry and investors.
This June 2014 Open Data strategy continues to be focussed on increasing the release of raw data in
a machine readable format, under open licensing and where possible for free.
The department has grown the number of datasets available via the Queensland Government Open
Data Portal since the release of its first Open Data Strategy in May 2013. At time of publication,
DNRM has available 102 Open datasets representing 645 data resources, each an individual data file
that can be downloaded or accessed directly via an API or web-service.
For the first time the strategy includes a list of all datasets held by the department not just its openly
available data. For those ‘closed’ or restricted data sets the reason(s) why they are not being
released openly are given. The department believes this is a significant improvement in transparency
and accountability and will help us focus on the task of releasing all of our Open Data as soon as
possible.
DNRM remains on track to release all of its Open Data by June 2015. During the previous year the
department achieved 96% of its targeted number of datasets for release. DNRM continues to refine
its understanding of the data it manages, for example, clarifying its definition of ‘datasets’, determining
its rights in data it has acquired and identifying any duplicate datasets. This has and will continue to
see minor changes in the number of DNRM’s datasets and their category (‘open’ or ‘closed’). This
document represents the department’s most comprehensive assessment of its data holdings to date.
The June 2014 Open Data Strategy for DNRM accounts for its 305 datasets as follows:



102 are currently available through the Open Data Portal;
62 are planned for release under the department’s Open Data Strategy;
141 will not be released by the department as an open dataset.
The following table lists the number of datasets and when they are planned to be released:

Number of datasets
planned for release
The release of open datasets by Queensland government departments is also allowing the
department to increase the visibility of those data resources which are spatial through the Queensland
Globe, itself an open data set. The department is continuing to make the majority of spatial data
resources published on the Open Data portal available through the Queensland Globe as committed
in the Queensland Government’s six month action plan (July – December 2013).

The department continues to believe that providing maximum access to information that it holds
assists in contributing to an accountable, open and transparent government and assists individuals
and businesses to implement streamlined approaches to their interests and activities.
Feedback on this strategy continues to be encouraged. Please contact the department via email:
OpenData@dnrm.qld.gov.au
Introduction
The department published its initial Open Data Strategy in May 2013. This strategy was based on a
comprehensive audit of information held by the department (early 2013) and a best assessment of
when it was likely the department could assign resources to making data accessible online and
available through the Queensland Government Open Data Portal (https://data.qld.gov.au) .
In the ensuing 12 months, the majority of datasets planned for release have been made available, with
a few delayed. This document provides detail on the progress made and builds on significant work
done previously by the department in making datasets widely available.
This strategy has been restructured and introduces new information to improve the transparency
related to information held by the department.
Firstly, datasets released (Appendix A) and datasets planned for release (Appendix B) have been
aligned to the definitions used on the Queensland Government Open Data Portal. The Open Data
Portal uses a two tier grouping of datasets and data resources. A dataset may consist of one or
multiple data resources. Where a dataset has only one data resource, typically the dataset and data
resource have the same name. This changed approach results in the department having less datasets
than reported in the last strategy. However, the number of data resources reported in this strategy
reflects the number of datasets in the strategy previously.
Secondly, a new appendix C has been introduced, listing all the datasets not to be released through
the Open Data initiative and the associated criteria as to why Open Data release is not possible. It is
important to note that access to these ‘closed’ data resources may still be possible under restricted
conditions.
Finally, a list of statutory bodies that report to the Minister for Natural Resources and Mines have been
included identifying whether they have published their own open data strategy or requested a dataset
to be listed in the department’s open data strategy.
While the Open Data Strategy is focused on provision of raw data, the department is also committed
to provisioning its data in additional ways as required for its various customers and stakeholders. This
access can be summarised in three ways:



In online applications or publications (e.g. reports, maps) where the information is presented in
easy ways for customers to use, and may include some interpretation (visualisations);
As datasets which customers load onto their computers (downloads);
Via direct online connection services (e.g. Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) compliant,
Representational state transfer (REST), Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) web services)
where the customer does not wish or need to store the data (web-services).
The department also remains committed to the provision of meaningful information about the data
resource itself (metadata and catalogues). The aim is for users to be better informed so they can
make judgements regarding the data’s fitness for their specific purpose. Information provided can
include explanations of codes and abbreviations used internally and shown in the data resource, the
date of capture, any known accuracy, completeness or quality limitations. It is also important to ensure
the dataset or data resource name is informative, particularly where they relate to or are instruments
of law.
The information provided in this updated strategy is based on the status of dataset publishing at June
2014.

Information responsibilities and governance
The department collects and manages an extensive and diverse range of information to enable it to
deliver its responsibilities. The information consists of statistical analysis related to activity levels,
information describing the geography of Queensland, information in registries which secure rights to
land and natural resources and mine safety and health records. At the highest level, the information
managed by the department is grouped in the following 42 information themes.

The department has a long established information asset governance practice, which ensures
responsibility for both the access to information, and also the quality of the information. The
department manages its information assets through the assignment of the data custodian role to
senior level positions in the department – Executive Director or equivalent for each of the 42
information themes. The data custodians have responsibility to:




Ensure the quality and integrity of the data to appropriate standards;
Engage with users to understand data improvement and coverage needed;
Ensure the ongoing capacity to manage and make accessible the data;
Provide appropriate discovery and access arrangements.
For data acquired from other parties and used by the department, the custodianship approach is
applied to ensure accountability continues related to data currency and honouring licence
arrangements under which the information is acquired.
This governance framework provides clear accountability for senior executives to consider specific
customer and stakeholder feedback resulting from the department’s Open Data Strategy.
The Executive Director, Land and Spatial Information has been assigned the department champion
responsibility to coordinate and progress the department’s implementation of the Open Data policy.
Progress is monitored on a regular basis and reported regularly to the department’s Renewal Board
and Executive Management Group. The department will continue to review the strategy on an annual
basis.

Key successes
In the last 12 months there have been many successes supporting easier access to open data from
the department. Three in particular have provided significant benefit.
Released information resources
During the last 12 months, 121 data resources have been released, from across 20 of the information
themes managed by the department.
The release of the department’s initial Open Data Strategy coincided with a very significant increase in
the number of data resources downloaded from the previous year (up to 100% increase in monthly
comparisons).
Queensland Globe
The Queensland Globe launched in April 2013 uses a readily available and easy to use application
(Google Earth) to view Queensland Government spatial data. The Queensland Globe allows a user to
view a wide range of information from the department, and link to previously unavailable or chargeable
searches and products for free. Using the Queensland Globe (an open dataset itself), the department
has developed numerous themed Globes which add additional content to the base Queensland Globe
data. Featured globes to date have focussed on coal seam gas, mining, floods and land valuations for
example.
All of the Queensland Government’s spatial data has also been allocated to ‘category’ globes based
on the international standard (ISO19115). These category globes contain datasets published by all
departments to the open data portal. Over 250 Queensland Government datasets are available
presently and this number continues to grow as agencies publish more open data.
The early signs of business transformation using openly released information are coming through in
feedback to the department. Users of the Queensland Globe are describing how this is changing the
way they are undertaking their business and the efficiencies they are achieving. Examples include the
ability to visualise information in one application (property and mining tenure information) and users’
ability to overlay their own information easily over the Queensland Government information. The
release of the Queensland Globe has also seen private sector companies decide offer training
courses in the use of the Queensland Globe and its data.
The Queensland Globe has seen a 145% increase in usage since January 2014 and in June 2014 will
surpass one billion map requests since its launch (April 2013).
Linking of Queensland Spatial Catalogue
The department has hosted for a number of years the Queensland Spatial Catalogue on behalf of
Queensland Government. This online catalogue of spatial data is widely used by spatial professionals
to identify available spatial data. The information contained in the catalogue is very rich in detail and
able to be joined up with other spatial catalogues worldwide as it conforms to international standards.
During the last 12 months the interface between the Queensland Government Open Data Portal and
the Queensland Spatial Catalogue has been developed allowing relevant information fields to be
electronically harvested into the Open Data Portal. This connection has opened up to a wider
audience the availability of spatial data held by numerous departments.
Planned for release datasets
This updated strategy has identified 59 datasets for release between June 2014 and June 2015, with
the majority to be released by the end of 2014. These are listed in Appendix B. While many of the
datasets planned for release are water related, there are datasets from 15 information themes.
The majority of these datasets to be published are very large and ensuring the necessary online
delivery infrastructure is available is an important part of the technical aspect of making them
available.
-5-
Datasets not available for release
As described in the initial strategy, the department holds datasets, which at this point in time, it is
unable to release as part of the Open Data initiative. These datasets are now listed in Appendix C.
There are seven criteria for which a dataset may not be able to be released. One or more of the
criteria may apply to individual datasets. The criteria are explained below. In certain circumstances
access to some of this information may be possible, particularly for government purposes. The data
custodian is responsible for deciding access to ‘Closed’ data and they may be contacted via email at
OpenData@dnrm.qld.gov.au
Privacy
In some datasets, personal information is contained and at this time no logical aggregation of this
information has been identified, so that information in a de-personalised manner can be made
available without the risk of breaching privacy. Some of this information is held in public registers and
is only able to be released on a single record basis as required by legislation in the form of a search.
In the case of some property valuation and sales data with personal details, it is only able to be
supplied as a dataset where the customer has become a subscriber to the Personal Identification
Information in Property Data Code of Conduct
http://www.propertydatacodeofconduct.com.au/ttsvr/home. This requires the customer to enter into a
specific licence and to pay an appropriate fee to access the dataset.
Intellectual Property or Confidentiality
Often the department acquires data from other parties for use in business activities. The acquired data
is provided with licence conditions, and generally does not permit the department to release this
information. The department also receives some information in accordance with legislation that
requires the department not to release the information for specified time periods. After these time
periods the information becomes available.
Revenue / Funding Subscription Model
There are a number of datasets which while accessible in various forms (e.g. property searches, data
files, etc) are not available freely or with an open licence. In some cases this is due to the amount of
revenue generated to support government activities. In other cases, the ongoing data capture
programs to maintain the currency of the datasets (e.g. aerial photography and LiDAR) rely on
subscription models to assist in funding the capture programs. While the data resources are not
available initially for free, after a number of years they are released as open data resources.
Release would breach statutory or legislative requirements
There is information held by the department for which specific statutory or legislative provisions govern
its release. In these cases the department is unable to release this information unless statutory or
legislative frameworks are modified.
Public Safety or Security
Some of the data that is required to be submitted to the department contains information that if
released could result in a risk to public safety or security. At this time no logical aggregation of this
information has been identified, so that the information can be provided in a form removing the risk to
public safety or security.
Alternative source
Some of the data held by the department is available from other sources, typically other levels of
government, in open manners. One such example if where the native title information for all of
Australia is available from the National Native Title Tribunal. The department believes that where upto-date information is available from other sources in open manners, then effort is not warranted in
duplicating these access arrangements.
Current technical limitations
Some data held by the department is very large in size. This data is typically available from the
department using portable hard drives, but the infrastructure to make the information available on line
-6-
has not yet been established. The department is working towards having infrastructure available that
would permit online access to the information, but timeframes for when this will be achieved are not
finalised.
Statutory authorities or instrumentalities
To improve awareness of statutory authorities and instrumentalities data (which form part of the
department’s Ministers responsibilities) appendix D has been included.
Statutory authorities and instrumentalities have two choices in how to make public their datasets. They
can publish their own Open Data Strategy or they can request their datasets be included in the
department’s Open Data Strategy. Two bodies have published their own strategies, and no other
statutory authorities or instrumentalities have notified the department of datasets for inclusion.
The department will contact the statutory authorities and instrumentalities on an annual basis so that
this strategy can be updated.
The department is also making available datasets which aid in understanding the geographic extent of
these bodies and activities of the bodies. These details are also listed in Appendix D.
Future Program
The Department of Natural Resources and Mines will continue to work towards improving access to
information held by the department. The continued priority is on delivering access to the datasets and
data resources identified in this strategy as set out in Appendix B. As part of this approach there will
be ongoing activity to review licences in already published data resources, where they are not
currently Creative Commons and therefore have some limitations on how the data resources can be
used.
The department continues to encourage feedback on datasets available and required. Through the
responsible data custodians, the needs of current and emerging customers and stakeholders will be
considered. This information can be provided directly to custodians through the department’s open
data email account OpenData@dnrm.qld.gov.au . The department will continue to support data users
to better understand the data it holds.
The department will continue to foster a culture where information is released to the maximum extent
possible and for this to occur naturally as part of the way the department does its business.
The department will further develop category globes so that data available through the Open Data
Portal (which can be related to Queensland’s geography) is available through the Queensland Globe.
The department is also planning to make available chargeable searches through the Queensland
Globe (commencing with a title search), allowing individuals to obtain these online from the
Queensland Government, supporting the Queensland Government objective of delivering all
information services online. This will complement arrangements in place with other parties who
distribute products on behalf of the department.
A continued focus for the department is to improve the quality of its data, as resources permit, with
activities prioritised to those bringing the greatest benefit. The processes of capture of some data have
resulted in known data accuracy and completeness issues particularly when combined with other
datasets.
The department will audit its data on an annual basis with the purpose to identify any new datasets
developed and opportunities to release further depersonalised datasets which are currently not
available openly in their current form.
This approach will see the department continue to proactively release data captured and collected to
the maximum extent possible, in forms and manners which maximise the usefulness to all the
department’s customers and stakeholders. This pro-active release aims to support the widespread use
of data, minimising duplicated data capture, and foster an environment for new innovative information
products to be developed.

Elevation contours 10 metre
interval by Local Government
Area series
Digital Elevation Models (DEM / DTM) with a 25 metre
grid is defined in and covers selected catchment areas. A
DEM refers to a model of elevation values.
This is a series of datasets covering the State of
Queensland showing 10 metre contours. Each dataset
has been clipped to the boundaries of a local government
and are identified with the name of that local government
e.g. 10 metre contours over the Brisbane Local
Government will be 10m Contours - Brisbane.

This colour aerial photography was acquired for Cyclone
Yasi emergency response coordination. The imagery was
captured in February 2011 by AAM. Locality boundaries
were used as a spatial extent to clip the imagery to
reduce the file size and suit online services delivery.
This colour imagery was specifically produced to capture
a point in time as close as possible to the peak of the
state-wide floods of January 2011 (by selected areas).
This colour aerial photography covers the town of Thallon
and its surrounding area. The imagery was captured on
09 January 2011.
This high resolution colour imagery was captured
proximal to peak flood water inundation of Brisbane City
and its surrounding areas. The imagery was captured on
the 13th and 14th January 2011

The Statewide Landcover and Trees Study (SLATS)
landcover mapping involves several stages of automated
and semi-automated image classification techniques,
together with visual interpretation. Water, bare ground
and shadow (unclassified) masks are created for each
scene using spectral classification and visual
interpretation.
The Landsat thematic mapper (TM) satellite image
mosaic uses 87 separate satellite scenes. The mosaic
order follows Landsat paths, from south to north, and
west to east, so the northern and eastern most scenes
are overlayed last (i.e. are on top).

Bicentennial National Trail in
Queensland
Queensland's stock route network (SRN) provides
pastoralists with a means of moving stock 'on the hoof'
around the state's main pastoral districts, as an
alternative to trucking and other contemporary transport
methods. Approximately 72 000 kilometres (2.6 million
hectares) of Queensland's road network is declared as
stock route. These routes, together with reserves for
travelling stock, make up the Queensland SRN. The
Land Protection (Pest and Stock Route Management) Act
2002 (Land Protection Act) regulates the use of the SRN.

The bicentennial national trail is the longest marked, nonmotorised, self-reliant multi-use trekking route in the
world, stretching an extraordinary 5,330 kilometres from
Cooktown in tropical North Queensland, to Healesville in
Victoria. The trail has been mapped within Queensland
by the Queensland Government for the National Trail

Farnborough subartesian area
The Department of Natural Resources and Mines
(DNRM) Surface Water Ambient Water Quality Network
(SWAN, WQ) (dataset WM1112) monitoring includes
either time series (continuous) measurements via
electronic sensors, or discrete water sample collection
which is laboratory analysed, or a combination of both.
This relies on long term monitoring over the full range of
flows, so that the effects of seasonality, extreme flow
events and non-uniform variance are accounted for
This dataset (WM0154) is equivalent to the 'Stream
Gauging Station Index 2013' document that is published
on the Water Monitoring Data Portal, being an index of
historic (closed) and current (open) stream gauging
stations managed by the department. Monitoring involves
measurements via electronic sensors for: 'G'type stations
- time series (continuous) water level (height) from which
flow (quantity) is calculated, 'Q'-type stations - various
water quality measurements such as temperature,
electrical conductivity.
The Queensland Government regulates the construction
of a bore and the taking of water in a subartesian area. In
general, a development permit is required prior to the
construction of a bore and a water licence is required
prior to taking water. The exact requirements can vary
from area to area and are prescribed by regulation.

Appendix C
Datasets not planned for release
The department has assessed all data it holds and a number are not able to be released for one or
more reasons. These include:

Privacy – The data includes personal information

Intellectual Property (IP) or Confidentiality –
o The data is owned in whole or part by others
o the data is subject to restricted licence conditions
o the data is commercial-in-confidence
o the data is culturally sensitive
o the data is legally privileged.
 Revenue – A revenue stream is associated with the data or a funding subscription model is in
place to support data acquisition
 Public Safety or Security – release of the data presents a public safety or security risk
 Release would breach statutory or legislative requirements
 Alternative Source – The data is available elsewhere as open data
 Current Technical Limitations – These are very large datasets and the department does not yet
have a strategy for how to release on-line as data sets
