Today

The regulator's files are separate downloads, the township grid comes from another publisher, and neither is a map you can search by LSD.

Here

One map, every layer credited, go-to by LSD, section or coordinate, and a feed of what changed.

Feed and go-to

New items from the map's layers, newest first.

Public notices of application, facility-licence events, field incidents, spuds and the rest arrive as they are published, each with a link back to its place on the map.

Feed · example

Each row: the layer, a title, the date and a link to the map.
