Australian Onshore and Offshore Boreholes
This OGC Web Map Service delivers data from Geoscience Australia's Boreholes database (borehole header and directional survey data) and associated geological observations (lithostratigraphic data). The data includes records of boreholes drilled by Geoscience Australia and its predecessor organisations (BMR, AGSO), all boreholes drilled in Australian Commonwealth offshore marine jurisdictions, and a selection of onshore boreholes drilled by government and private entities. Where possible this service conforms to the GeoSciML v4.1 data transfer standard.
Geoscience Australia is not a reporting or regulatory authority for borehole drilling. Borehole information in Geoscience Australia's Boreholes database is sourced from various regulatory authorities in the States, Northern Territory and Commonwealth governments for Geoscience Australia research purposes. Where Geoscience Australia is not the custodian of borehole data provided in this web service, the custodian agency provided with the data should be consulted as the authoritative source.
The data dictionary for this web service is available at https://d28rz98at9flks.cloudfront.net/144576/144576_00_3.pdf. For information on borehole status definitions, refer to https://db-content.ga.gov.au/data_dictionary/Borehole_Status_vocabulary_2021.pdf.

Boreholes GeoSciML-Lite (Geoscience Australia)
This layer contains borehole header information, including, but not limited to: a) positional and location metadata, b) drilling metadata; c) purpose and status; d) earth material, stratigraphy and structural observation counts; e) sample and analyses counts. The data transfer standard used by this layer conforms to the BoreholeView class in the GeoSciML-Lite (gsmlp) package of the GeoSciML v4.1 schema, which is a simplified view of the Borehole (gsmlbh) package in the GeoSciML v4.1 schema optimised for use in layer-based map services. More complete borehole data can be obtained from the "Boreholes GeoSciML" WFS layer.
