What is the Map of Referable Wetlands?
A referable wetland is an area identified as a wetland on the Map of Referable Wetlands. The current Map of Referable Wetlands is a tool used to trigger DERM’s concurrence and advice role under the Sustainable Planning Act 2009 (Qld). A search of referable wetlands can be performed using the maps on the web facility on the DERM website Map of Referable Wetlands. The current Map of Referable Wetlands includes freshwater wetlands identified in the latest version of the Queensland Wetland Mapping and Classification layer which is informed by Regional Ecosystem mapping. The Map of Referable Wetlands will be updated from time to time after approval by the chief executive (environment).
