This dataset is available on Brisbane City Council’s open data website – data.brisbane.qld.gov.au. The site provides additional features for viewing and interacting with the data and for downloading the data in various formats.
Brisbane City Council’s Natural Assets Local Law 2003 helps to protect our city’s natural assets, including bushland areas, wetlands, waterway corridors and trees. The Council Vegetation (CV) category protects Council vegetation including vegetation on any land or premises that is owned, controlled or occupied by Council. Protected vegetation under this category includes street trees on footpaths/road reserves and trees in parks. The law is in place to protect the city’s natural vegetation and delivers a balance between protecting the city’s environment and people, property and lifestyle. Please note that this mapping does not include all protected vegetation, it only includes the Council Vegetation category as mapped under the Natural Assets Local Law 2003. Vegetation that has been recently protected (last 6 weeks), vegetation protected by a condition of a development approval, heritage protected vegetation or vegetation protected by covenant on title is not included in this mapping. To find out if your property has protected vegetation, including vegetation protected by the Natural Assets Local Law 2003, you can use the Protected Vegetation Online Enquiry Tool to obtain a property report.
