Summary This document lists the historic (closed) and current (open) stream gauging stations which make up the Department of Natural Resources and Mines river height and streamflow monitoring network. Data collected at stream gauging stations are published on the department’s Water Monitoring Information Portal. Other data types are also collected at stream gauging stations (including rainfall and water quality). Further information is available on the Water Monitoring Information Portal under each station listing. WMG001 | version 4.0, Department of Natural Resources and Mines, 2016 i Table of contents 1.

Stream gauging station index The department’s stream gauging stations are operated by trained hydrographic staff within a quality management environment under International Organisation for Standardisation ISO 9001:2008 accreditation. Streamflow measurements are an integral part of producing volumetric data at gauging stations. Stream gaugings are taken throughout a full range of low and high flow conditions to enable derivation of accurate streamflow volumes. A list of current, operational gauging stations is detailed in the Stream Gauging Station Network. Please also refer to document this for a summary of the background and objectives of department’s streamflow monitoring network. Data collected from the Stream Gauging Station Network is published on the department’s Water Monitoring Information Portal, where near real time and historical data has been available to the public online since January 2008. 2. Description of index headings Station | the stream gauging station unique identifier. The numbering system is based on Australian Water Resource Council drainage basin numbering comprised of seven (7) numbers and one (1) letter. Station name | the description of the stream gauging stations location. Office | the departmental office operating the stream gauging station: Ayr (AYR) Bundaberg (BBG) Mareeba (MBA) Rockhampton (RCK) Brisbane (BNE) Innisfail (INF) Mackay (MKY) Toowoomba (TBA) Latitude (°S) and Longitude (°E) | the coordinates of the stream gauging station location. Details are given in degrees to 4 decimal places, although accuracy to this level is not guaranteed. Datum | the vertical elevation standards: Australian Height Datum (AHD) Assumed Datum (ASS) Brisbane City Council Datum (BCC) Burdekin River Datum (BRD) Mount Isa Mines Datum (MIM) No Applicable Data (NAD) State Datum (SD) AMTD | the Adopted Middle Thread Distance, in kilometres. This relates to the distance along the middle of the river upstream from its mouth (or junction). Catchment area | the catchment above the stream gauging station, in square kilometres. Commenced | the date the stream gauging station opened. Station type | the data type collected at the site G indicates time series flow data are collected at the site. GQ indicates both time series flow and water quality data are collected at the site. Height data / Flow data / Rainfall data / TS WQ data | indicates the data available at a gauging station (e.g. steam height, stream discharge, rainfall data and time series water quality data).
