The basic groupings of Brisbane regions, going in a clockwise direction,
Originally, the aim of the MBH Project was a singular, unified, map for the whole of the Brisbane area. Unfortunately, the technology was outpaced by our vision and we were limited to having five groupings for the 11 regions. There are a few important advantages, however, in the new block segmented design. The design always better viewing of dense clusters. More importantly, it provides alternative ways for different Brisbane regions to be understood. Our fundamental group structure has been the traditional divide of the Brisbane River, between Brisbane Southside and Brisbane Northside. Much of the city’s history is understood on this structure. The Project will retain that approach into terms of the Brisbane Southside History Network, and the possibility of a northside network. Nevertheless, the five groupings of regions demonstrate other networks, that of the historical inner city with its access through the air and sea port corridor, the Eastern and Bay suburbs, and the western suburbs which paid less regard to the river divide.
More information on the groupings of regions can be found here.
Next, we have the 11 regions of Brisbane (the original ‘stages’ retained):
One might ask why 11, not 10 or 12, but again the answer is the technological requirements combined with the geographical logic which had been set in the original stages (the pilot stage being number 1, amalgamated into No. 2 region).
More information on the regions can be found here.
Finally, there are the local study areas, in the regions, and in the groupings of regions. And the table of the 66 local study areas is as follows:

There are two different columns of codes here. The first coded column provides the way each site will have a unique identifier. The other coded column provides a unique identifier for each local study area.
