Hi Tym, you've added the Brisbane boundary from DNRME data, however unfortunately OSM still can't get DNRME to sign the required waiver so even though the data is licensed under CC BY 4.0 we can't use it yet, see:
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Australian_data_catalogue
https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk-au/2018-March/011694.htmlAlso note the Import Guidelines which recommend discussing any imports:
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Import/GuidelinesIt would be great if we can find another source for city boundaries because I've wanted to add Redland and Brisbane boundaries for ages. Probably best to start a discussion on talk-au.

Thank you for pointing that out and providing links. I had looked at the Australian data catalog but misinterpreted - I thought since the note said a waiver was denied in 2018 and the CC license was 2020, it was a matter of being outdated. Did not realize the CC license still required a waiver.
I'll work on reverting this change. Thank you again for the update on the data use.

Thanks for responding and reverting it so quickly, the situation with DNRME is unfortunately annoying, their data would be very useful. You'll find everything they release will probably have the current year on it.
If you want more information why OSM needs a waiver to use any CC BY 4.0 data have a read of the OSMF blog post:

Thanks for the blog post - interesting read. And no problem about the response/reversion. Should have figured I was missing something with regard to why publicly available boundary data hadn't been imported yet...
