From one site to an 80-file CAD and GIS ZIP

This is a factual walkthrough of the current downloadable sample: what was requested, what the source mapping returned, how the files support early-stage work, and where survey, title and authority checks still take over.

The site question

Can a consultant assemble a practical early-stage base pack for CAD and GIS—covering mapped parcel, terrain, geology, soils, planning, hazards, heritage, easements and imagery—before commissioning survey and deeper specialist searches?

17requested datasets accounted for in the manifest

Rendered Queensland worked example showing the project lot, cadastre, contours, roads, planning, heritage, easements and aerial imagery
Rendered from the GeoPackage and georeferenced imagery inside the downloadable ZIP.

The delivered evidence

One coordinate system, several downstream workflows

The sample uses GDA2020 / MGA Zone 56 (EPSG:7856). Compatible vector layers appear as DXF, Shapefile, GeoPackage and KMZ, while terrain and imagery use their appropriate native outputs.

  • Root-level GeoPackage
  • Per-layer DXF files
  • Complete Shapefile sidecars
  • Per-layer KMZ files
  • GeoTIFF elevation raster
  • DXF TIN surface
  • Aerial JPG, world file and CRS metadata
  • Human- and machine-readable manifests

What the source mapping returned

These counts come directly from DATASETS.txt and datasets.json in the sample—not from illustrative marketing copy.

Dataset resultVerified sample evidenceWhat it supports
Property and access contextIncluded 71 cadastral features, 7 road features and 2 mapped easement featuresDesktop base mapping, nearby-lot context and early review of mapped access constraints.
TerrainIncluded 14 contour features, 500 elevation points, a GeoTIFF DEM and a 2,999-face DXF TINEarly terrain review, CAD/GIS setup and concept-level surface context.
Ground contextIncluded 1 geology feature and 1 soil featureRegional mapped geology and soil context for desktop screening.
Planning and heritageIncluded 7 planning-zone features and 6 heritage-overlay featuresLocating mapped planning and heritage context inside the working extent.
Aerial imageryIncluded Georeferenced JPG, world file, CRS metadata and imagery KMZVisual site orientation behind vector layers in CAD, GIS and Google Earth workflows.
Five assessed layersNo mapped features in extent Acid sulphate soils, watercourses, flood, bushfire and geohazardRecords that the available mapping was queried and returned no features for this export extent.

How the worked example moves through a real workflow

Define the site and request the catalogue

The sample is address-based and requests every dataset then offered for Queensland. The service clips the working extent around the resolved site.

Choose outputs and CRS once

DXF, Shapefile, GeoPackage and KMZ were selected with GDA2020 / MGA Zone 56. Dataset-specific terrain and imagery outputs were added automatically where applicable.

Open the same evidence in the right tool

Use DXF and the TIN for CAD-oriented setup, GeoPackage or Shapefile for GIS analysis, KMZ for Google Earth review, and the GeoTIFF for raster terrain work.

Read the manifest before drawing conclusions

The manifest distinguishes included data, assessed layers with no mapped features, coverage gaps, deliberate exclusions and temporary upstream failures.

What this example can—and cannot—support

Useful for

  • Starting a coordinated CAD or GIS base file
  • Reviewing mapped site and surrounding context
  • Scoping survey, planning, geotechnical and title enquiries
  • Briefing consultants with consistent source files and CRS
  • Recording which available layers returned no mapped features

Still requires confirmation

  • Boundary location by a registered surveyor
  • Easement rights and interests from current title documents
  • Survey-grade levels and site features
  • Current statutory planning and authority searches
  • Site-specific engineering and professional interpretation
Important: “assessed—no features in this extent” is a result from the available mapped source, not a warranty that a hazard, constraint or interest is absent. Source currency, scale, accuracy and coverage vary.
