[Imports] Mass fixing street names in Queensland Australia

[Benjamin Wragg]

Hi Jason,

I looked into the TMR datasets but all the datasets I could found only contained the major state owned roads e.g http://data.qld.gov.au/dataset/state-controlled-roads-queensland not local roads.

I noticed on an OSM wiki that permission had been acquired from TMR but not from other government agencies. I found a dataset on data.qld.gov.au that included local roads. https://data.qld.gov.au/dataset/physical-road-network-queensland but this was owned by the Department of Natural Resources and Mines. There license seemed to allow use on OSM but I emailed them to confirm. Their reply in part was:

Yes, in the dot point 3 of the Permitted Use section of the Open Licence it says:-
 
“You may create and distribute hardcopy and digital products based on or containing
 
the supplied data, provided all the following conditions are met “ etc.
 
You may use the data and create other hardcopy and digital products  for your own personal
 
use but  you are not permitted to on sell the original dataset.


I'll check out your links today to see what I can do.

Thanks Pieren, Serge and Daniel for your comments. Will look into your suggestions.

Regards,

Benjamin
