Surfacing an old thread here as there have been recent developments. The "Protected areas of Queensland - boundaries" dataset from QSpatial[1] has been previously imported by QldProtectedAreas[2]. It's CC BY 3.0 AU licensed, but the data custodian (Department of Environment and Science) has completed the OSMF CC BY waiver[3] clearing the data for use in OSM from a licensing perspective. The data custodian only agreed to complete the waiver for that specific dataset due to concerns about the data quality of other datasets.
As far as I'm aware we haven't been able to get the waiver completed by other departments who publish their data on QSpatial and we have no QSpatial blanket waiver, only this specific dataset. Is anyone interested in updating OSM based on some of the new data from this dataset? A quick scan in QGIS there are some differences (mostly due to new data published on QSpatial) but mostly it's consistent. To compare the two I, 1. Downloaded queensland.osm.pdf extract from http://download.openstreetmap.fr/extracts/oceania/australia/ 2. Extracted protected areas from that file with: osmium tags-filter --overwrite -o qld-protected-areas.osm.pbf queensland.osm.pbf nwr/boundary=protected_area,national_park,state_forest Giving https://tianjara.net/data/QLD_Protected_Areas.geojson from QSpatial and https://tianjara.net/data/qld-protected-areas.geojson from OSM which can be compared in QGIS or JOSM using the GeoJSON plugin.
