About City of Brisbane Open data portal
The City of Brisbane Open data portal is run by Brisbane City Council and provides Council datasets that can be downloaded, used and shared. The source describes open data as information that is freely available to download, use and distribute. Datasets can be downloaded in several formats and include spatial data across themes such as environment, assets and facilities, parks and recreation, arts and culture, and community and safety.
Users can browse by theme, search datasets, or filter by keywords and view. If a needed dataset is not listed, users can suggest one through a form on the site. The source states that Council welcomes these suggestions but does not say how or when requested datasets will be provided. Most datasets are published under a Creative Commons Attribution (CC-BY) licence, which allows free distribution and remixing if Brisbane City Council is credited as the source.
