Queensland’s Open Spatial Data Revolution
Steve Jacoby PSM
Executive Director, Land and Spatial Information
Department of Natural Resources and Mines August 2014
Background
• Queensland’s Open Data
Policy launched in Dec ‘12 • Free
• Open Licence (CC-BY)
• On-line
• Machine readable
• Departments required to publish all of their data openly within 2
years unless privacy, security, ‘x-in-confidence’…
• DNRM has significant data holdings not least our
‘Foundation Spatial Data’ – Qld base mapping
• DNRM offers 3 key pathways to its spatial data: - Visualisations - Data Downloads - Web Services
• By far the most popular visualisation tool is the
Queensland Globe launched by the Premier (3rd April
2013) as a key Open Data initiative
Queensland Globe - Intro
• Simple way to view and share spatial data
• Uses Google Earth
• Can be deployed to anyone
(in government, business or the public)
• It’s Free – thanks to Qld’s Open Data policy & Google
• Training not essential
• Also available on smart phones and tablets
• Contains Queensland’s Best Foundation Spatial Data
• Plus… much more
• Accessible from the Open Data portal or DNRM website
www.data.qld.gov.au / www.dnrm.qld.gov.au
(or just search “Queensland Globe”
Main features of the Queensland Globe
• Only need one file –
downloaded once from
www.data.qld.gov.au
• Adds to Google’s data - eg imagery, 3D buildings &
Street View as well as Google Search still available
• Queensland Spatial Data remains server side
• No copies
• Changing data updated nightly
• All (Open) spatial data in the Globe can also be
downloaded from the Globe - Metadata included.
• Built in ‘Help’, ‘Video Tutorials’, ‘Feedback & Contacts’
Queensland Globe Basic Components
1. Google Earth (free client)
2. Google’s imagery and layers

Precursor to the Queensland Globe
• DNRM’s Land & Spatial Information Group was
formed in December 2009
• Frustration from senior management that they couldn’t
easily access spatial information for which they were
accountable
• Commenced a ‘spatial desktop’ project and Google
Earth Enterprise was trialled as a solution
• Scope was initially DNRM and potentially WoG
- Licensing was identified as a critical issue
- Cost was another barrier
- Also some technical elitism…
• And then we had the 2011 floods and TC Yasi…
Flood Mapping & Disaster Relief Appeal - 2011
• Huge demand for timely, authoritative mapping
• Imagery, flood lines, flood plain mapping & all disaster relief
applications geocoded
• 21,400 applications / 8,500 maps / 7 day operations
• Used by Emergency Services, QldRA, Premiers, TMR,
DH&PW, Communities, Centrelink, NGOs, etc
Timing & the 3 Critical Components that
made the Queensland Globe possible!
1. Policy: Qld government released its
Open Data Policy ~ approved by State
Cabinet in Dec ‘12
2. Technical: Google updated their free
Google Earth client in Dec ‘12 to allow
connection to ‘private data’
3. Resources: DNRM secured essential
financial support for its ‘24 / 7’ spatial data
initiative ~ Qld Globe production
All released, developed or approved in December 2012
Queensland Globe usage – first 3 months
Launch – 3 April
Queensland Globe – July to December ‘13
• Globe proved extremely successful and usage
continued to grow
• Released a ‘Mobile’ version for smartphones & tablets
Queensland Globe – mobile devices

Queensland Globe – July to December ‘13
• Globe proved extremely successful and usage
continued to grow
• Released a ‘Mobile’ version for smartphones & tablets
• Many other Departments and groups (in DNRM too)
wanted to feature their spatial data on the ‘Globe’
• We suggested DNRM publish all its Open spatial Data
on the Globe as part of its 6 month Action Plan (July –
December 2013)… but Government agreed to:
“Make all government open (spatial) data available
through Queensland Globe” http://www.thepremier.qld.gov.au/plans-and-progress/plans/assets/6-months-july-dec-13.pdf
