Basically no unless you have explicit approval from Gold Coast Council.

It has more to do with osm user conditions than whether or not GCC licence is compatible. It's the section that says something like "you own the data or have explicit permission to use it".

If the data licence was compatible and you received explicit approval from GCC then you could use this data.

G'day all

Been mapping on & off for a few years now but have recently got into it more actively due to having more time available.

Mainly working around the Gold Coast / SEQ but occasionally further afield as well.

Have only just found the talk list & forum, & have read quite a few threads re copyright & use of Govt data, so a question to all you knowledgable folk! :-)

Gold Coast City Council have (fairly) recently set up an online city plan: http://cityplanmaps.goldcoast.qld.gov.au/CityPlan/, which shows planning zones etc as well as street names.

As part of the terms & conditions it includes this for copyright:

"2.0 Copyright

Council owns or is licensed to exercise copyright and all other intellectual property rights to material on this website.

You must not on-sell or distribute interactive mapping information for reward or otherwise to any other third party, nor produce any hardcopy products incorporating the information for commercial use."

Full T&C if anyone wants to check anything: http://www.goldcoast.qld.gov.au/planning-and-building/city-plan-interactive-mapping-terms-conditions-21859.html

I'm guessing that we can't make use of that plan info because of "You must not on-sell or distribute interactive mapping information for reward or otherwise to any other third party"?

They also have a Park Finder page which let's you search for park names, facilities, sports & so on: http://www.goldcoast.qld.gov.au/thegoldcoast/park-finder-24304.html

It's disclaimer & copyright page: http://www.goldcoast.qld.gov.au/disclaimer-and-copyright.html, says:

"Works and subject matter other than works, including pages, documents, online graphics, audio and video are protected by the/Copyright Act 1968/as amended. All rights, including moral rights, are reserved.

When you access the site, you agree to:

  * use the material on the site only for personal or educational

  * include the copyright notice in any copy you make

So, how about that one, can we use it?

Has anybody ever dealt with GCCC re access to their data? Any luck?

May be a letter to the CEO asking for permission!

Thanks

Graeme
