GIS desktop study workflow

Use GIS Export when you want raw spatial layers instead of a compiled PDF report for early-stage desktop review.

Why use export for desktop studies

Some teams prefer to work directly in QGIS, ArcGIS, Civil 3D, or CAD rather than start from a PDF report. GIS Export supports that workflow by packaging site data into ready-to-use formats.

Useful layers

  • Parcel boundaries, roads and easements
  • Contours, elevation points, GeoTIFF DEM and DXF TIN
  • Geology, soils and acid sulphate soils
  • Watercourses
  • Planning zones, flood, bushfire, geohazard and heritage overlays
  • Georeferenced aerial imagery for Queensland and NSW

How it helps

It reduces the time spent manually locating, clipping, converting, and packaging public datasets for a single site.

Inspect the current sample ZIP to see the manifest and actual folder structure, or review the live dataset catalogue.
