SoE2017: Ozone concentrations
While ozone levels in Townsville and Gladstone have never exceeded air quality standards, South East Queensland experienced exceedances in 2011 and 2015. -
SoE2017: Industrial processes sector greenhouse gas emissions
Emissions from the industrial processes sector increased 11% between 2005 and 2016 due largely to increased use of replacements for ozone-depleting substances. -
SoE2017: Evaporation rate
Annual evaporation is typically much higher in inland parts of Queensland than in coastal and sub-coastal areas. -
SoE2017: Agriculture sector greenhouse gas emissions
Emissions from the agriculture sector decreased 6% between 2005 and 2016, mainly due to a decline in livestock numbers. -
SoE2015: Transport sector greenhouse gas emissions
Emissions from the transport sector have increased 18% between 2005 and 2014. Road transport including passenger cars was the main source of emissions. -
SoE2015: Ozone concentrations
While ozone levels in Townsville and Gladstone have never exceeded air quality standards, South East Queensland experienced exceedences in 2005, 2011 and 2015. -
SoE2015: Evaporation rate
In Queensland, potential evaporation is much higher than mean annual rainfall in semi-arid inland locations. -
SoE2015: Average rainfall
In 2012, Queensland experienced a wetter than average year, but then experienced much drier years from 2013-2015, leading to widespread drought. -
SoE2015: Agriculture sector greenhouse gas emissions
Emissions from the agriculture sector have increased 6% between 2005 and 2014 mainly due to an increase in livestock numbers. -
SoE2020: Extent and rate of change of remnant native vegetation
The loss of remnant native vegetation in Queensland has been monitored since 1997 and reached a peak during 1999–2000 at which point 0.4% of the state’s remnant... -
SoE2015: Visibility-reducing particles
Overall there has been a downward trend in the number of days with reduced visibility throughout Queensland over the past decade although significantly more days were affected... -
SoE2017: Waste sector greenhouse gas emissions
Emissions from the waste sector increased 17% between 2005 and 2016, however waste emissions have fallen since 2011 due to increased capture and combustion of landfill gas. -
SoE2017: Transport sector greenhouse gas emissions
Emissions from the transport sector increased 26% between 2005 and 2016. Road transport, including passenger cars, was the main source of emissions at 10.1 MtCO₂e in 2016. -
SoE2017: Trackable waste landfilled
Solid and sludge wastes requiring special handling, categorised as high-level waste, made up 58% of trackable waste disposed to landfill in Queensland in 2015–2016. -
SoE2017: Threatened fauna species numbers
The number of fauna species listed as threatened (’vulnerable’, ‘endangered’ or ‘extinct in the wild’) in Queensland increased by 79 between 2007 and 2017. -
SoE2017: Interstate trackable waste received
About 93% of the trackable waste received in Queensland from other Australian states and territories in 2015–2016 came from New South Wales. -
SoE2017: Erosion prone area
Coastal erosion continues to impact the Queensland coast, with several major incidents at developed areas. -
SoE2015: Waste sector greenhouse gas emissions
Emissions from the waste sector increased 15% between 2005 and 2014, however waste emissions have fallen since 2011 due to increased capture and combustion of landfill gas. -
SoE2015: Trackable waste landfilled
In 2014-2015, 63% of trackable waste (by waste amount) disposed to landfill in Queensland was in the high level waste category of 'solid and sludge wastes requiring special... -
SoE2015: Interstate trackable waste received
About 87% of the trackable waste received in Queensland from other Australian states and territories in 2014-2015 came from New South Wales.
