Export Data Access APINSW Features of Interest Category multiCRS (Formerly Points of Interest)MultiCRS service - supporting requests in multiple Coordinate Reference Systems - Information SheetA new series of ‘multiCRS’ web services have been published to support GDA2020.  These new ‘multiCRS’ services:·         have a spatial reference of GDA2020·         support alignment with GDA2020, GDA94 or [WGS 84-aligned-to-GDA2020] GIS environments,using built-in server-side transformations:o    GDA94 < NTv2-CPD > GDA2020o    GDA94 < NTv2-CPD > WGS 84 aligned to GDA2020o    GDA2020 < NULL > WGS 84 aligned to GDA2020     Note: ESRI software will automatically align by transforming from the sourceSpatialReference (GDA94).               Other software may need to set client-side transformations from the SpatialReference (GDA2020).     Note: Client-side transformation(s) can be used to over-ride these default transformations.The original [WGS 84-aligned-to-GDA2020] is still available, without the ‘multiCRS’ suffix. In due course, and allowing time for user feedback and testing, it is intended that the original service name will adopt this new 'multiCRS' functionality.Metadata Portal Metadata InformationContent TitleNSW Features of Interest Category multiCRS (Formerly Points of Interest)Content TypeHosted Feature LayerDescriptionThe Features of Interest Category consists of features whose primary characteristic are of a cultural (man-made) origin, but generally not including transportation related features.  These features do not fit within one of the ten foundation spatial data themes and are therefore classified as a category. They have historically been captured by Spatial Services as part of the NSW digital topographic mapping program and therefore warrant inclusion.  The Features of Interest theme also defines the location of facilities such as Police Stations, Ambulance Stations and Hospitals which is crucial information for the citizens of NSW. The Features of Interest Category is primarily used for planning, developmental activities, navigation and resource monitoring by emergency services, the Defence Forces, environmental resource managers and engineers. This information is also commonly used by bushwalkers, canoeists, anglers and fossickers to establish a detailed picture of the local environment. The clear definition of these features is vital for emergency services in response situations.  Data included in the Features of Interest Category:Utility Water Supply Canal Tank Area Tank Point Place Point Building Complex Point Electricity Transmission Line General Cultural Point General Cultural Area General Cultural Line General Cultural Point General Line Feature General Recreation Point Place Area Metadata Initial Publication Date18/10/2020Data Currency01/01/3000Data Update FrequencyDailyContent SourceData provider filesFile TypeESRI File Geodatabase (*.gdb)Attribution© State of New South Wales (Spatial Services, a business unit of the Department of Customer Service NSW).

This dataset was captured by digitising the best available cadastral mapping at a variety of scales and accuracies, ranging from 1:500 to 1:250 000 according to the National Mapping Council of Australia, Standards of Map Accuracy (1975). Therefore, the position of the feature instance will be within 0.5mm at map scale for 90% of the well-defined points. That is, 1:500 = 0.25m, 1:2000 = 1m, 1:4000 = 2m, 1:25000 = 12.5m, 1:50000 = 25m and 1:100000 = 50m. A program to upgrade the spatial location and accuracy of data is ongoing.Spatial Reference System (dataset)GDA2020Spatial Reference System (web service)OtherWGS84 Equivalent ToGDA2020Spatial ExtentFull stateContent LineagePlease contact us via the Spatial Services Customer HubData ClassificationUnclassifiedData Access PolicyOpenData QualityPlease contact us via the Spatial Services Customer HubTerms and ConditionsCreative CommonsStandard and SpecificationOpen Geospatial Consortium (OGC) implemented and compatible for consumption by common GIS platforms.
