Maps Online

The Maps Online platform is an automated service that generates and delivers map-based reports customised for a selected location. The platform integrates spatial data, summarising it according to themed templates which are designed to support decision-making, planning and assessment. Over 40 report topics are available.

Queensland Government departments may request the creation of a map or report template based on their own and/or other Queensland datasets.

The reports are generated at the time of request, and delivered to a nominated email in PDF format, free of charge.

Request for reports can be made using a web form or application as described below.
