* Please note that data release requirements changed on 28 November 2025. For data relating to seismic surveys, other geophysical surveys and geological surveys, the responsible Commonwealth Minister must provide approval before NOPTA can decide whether to release the data. This new requirement applies to all data that was not publicly available (i.e. not downloadable from NOPIMS) on 28 November 2025. Clients are welcome to register requests for data via the NOPIMS add to basket function. We will be in contact when requests for data are approved.
