Free maps
From May 2025 the SmartMap Information Service is being discontinued and most SmartMaps and searches will no longer be available for purchase. However, you can use Queensland Globe to build your own maps for free. For more information email opendata@resources.qld.gov.au.
You can still purchase the Customised Plan Search (1410) and Computer Inventory of Survey Plans (CISP) (1935) by emailing products@resources.qld.gov.au or through Dye & Durham.
We provide free, interactive online maps. The benefits of interactive maps are the ability to access the most current information and select the content you want to display, and to configure the map to your specific area of interest.
