[talk-au] Queensland parks, forests and conservation areas

[Markus]

Hi,

 

I would tag the forests that aren't national parks as landuse=forest and
remove the boundary key. Unless they are protected areas where I would use
the boundary=protected_area and the protect_id key.

You could also use boundary=nature_reserve or boundary=landscape_reserve if
it fits into either of these categorys.

_Areas

 

http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:boundary=protected_area

 


Forests

Landuse=forest

 

 

National Parks

boundary=national_park

leisure=nature_reserve

 

 

Protected Areas

 

boundary=protected_area

protect_id=

 

I would also remove the non standard key names like
derm.qld.gov.au:GLR_NUMBER and FEAT_NAME

Hi all,

I've been looking at http://data.australia.gov.au/127, which contains all
the national parks, state forest, conservation areas and so on in
Queensland. If no-one else had been doing anything with this, I'd been
thinking about adding it to OSM.

Current practice seems to be tagging them all as boundary=national_park,
regardless of whether they're National Parks or other things like State
Forests. Would adding national_park=state_forest and similar to the tags be
a good idea?

There's also a bunch of things like "resource reserves" and "timber
reserves" inside the parks, any good suggestions about how to tag those?


This would obviously be a manual piece-by-piece upload, since it would need
merging with existing data there's interesting things like river/road names
we can pull out (because it has the road reserves marked). A converted file
with most of the attributes cleaned up is at
http://www.sunsetutopia.com/qld_parks.osm.bz2 if anyone wants to look, but
it still needs a lot of merging of polygons and the like
