Summary

The Queensland Mapping and Surveying Department was formed in 1975 when the survey office was separated from within the Lands Department (1866 - 1996) becoming a department in its own right. In 1988 the Mapping and Surveying Department was renamed the Geographic Information Department (1988 - 1989) before being returned to its former status as an office within the Lands Department (1866 - 1996).
