No problems. I will revist the area virtually other the next few weeks. Let you know when I am done. To see if all the errors have be rectified. I had the same issues around Mackay a little while back. Maybe when they did that big rework of the map

I would be careful with starting a conversation with the word Error. I worked for the Queensland Department of Natural Resources for 6 years in the land management area. Simply, it is possible to historically have state forest, natural park, land leases and many forms of tenure coexisting in a layered arrangement inland in Queensland. Many areas exist around central queensland where I worked. Up to you if you want to change, but I am happy with the arrangement

I agree with your comments. I made these additions back in 2013. My changesets appear to have been damaged around the areas of the wetlands. There are more problems all the way down to Mackay. I am not 100% why, as they were all mapped from bing using josm. There is another user fixing the problems to the south, maybe contact them. Otherwise I can revisit when I gave time. I was a Mackay local, but moved to the Gold Coast. And of course, I now have 3 more years experience and 7000 edits.

The term PGS also known as prototype global shoreline. Read about it here: wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Prototype_Global_Shoreline

Mostly obsolete now. Preference is to use Bing aerial photography to plot correctly. Hope this helps.

That would be great mate, I found the area damaged couple of days ago, managed to fix the outer relation, but have not got to the islands yet, ie inner relations.

I am not sure who this is and what authority you have make such comments without a spread of manners, something I intend to raise with the mailing list, it may be a good idea to not only provide an example but discuss the issue. There maybe a litigimate reason.

I found the offending changeset. I have changed it to a bridge (to render as causeway) with an attribute of flood_prone=yes.
Having crossed the actually causeway, this would be the best solution. It is my intention to eventually place the riverbanks of the rive

Been thinking about your comments. It would be beneficial to change the tag to ford with an attribute of floodable. Do you know if there is a simple way to locate all tags highway=floodway and change the details

When considered in a local context as a term well known with local residents, the term "ford" would be misleading. I have certainly used the term ford, when I have had to cross an unformed creek, in 4WD praying that I wont get stuck

21° 6'1.28"S 149° 9'49.64"E

There should be a sign that says "road subject to flooding" - This is a typical floodway found throughout Queensland. For 99% of the year, it has no water crossing it.

There would be thousands upon thousands of places where the tag should be used. I was quite surprised when you said it was uncommon. I will see if I can find a couple of spots in google street views as a example

Definitions are found in www.tmr.qld.gov.au/~/media/busind/.../mutcdamend7Part2D.pdf

Look at sections 4.10.3 and 4.10.4 for definition between ford and floodway.

Trust this helps

The tagging is correct. A ford is commonly a crossing where a driver is required to negotiate an cutting in the creek bank, than cross a creek bed that is not formed (maybe sand, mud, stone) and a vehicle may or may not be required to enter the water. A floodway, is a common term used on all roads in Queensland given to a formed road (whether gravel, concrete or bitumen) where the road may become inundated during times of flood otherwise the road remains all weather and crossed without difficultly. The floodways are usually signed as such by Council or Main Roads. I would be extremely reluctant to change the attributes given the widespread use of the term "floodway"
