NSW Features of Interest Category - Place Point
Please Note
WGS 84 = GDA94 service
This dataset has a spatial reference of [WGS 84 = GDA94] and can NOT be easily consumed into GDA2020 environments. A similar service with a ‘multiCRS’ suffix is available which can support GDA2020, GDA94 and WGS84 = GDA2020 environments. In due course, and allowing time for user feedback and testing, it is intended that these original services will adopt the new multiCRS functionality.
Metadata Portal Metadata InformationContent TitleNSW Features of Interest Category - Place PointContent TypeHosted Feature LayerDescriptionPlace point is a point feature class within the Features of interest Category. There is no overall accuracy reported in the database, however accuracy of the individual feature instances of each feature class can be found in the database tables.The currency of the feature instances in this dataset can be found in “feature reliability date” or “attribute reliability date” attributes. All feature instances in this class are attributed with a planimetric accuracy value. It is expected that the 90% of well-defined points with the same planimetric accuracy are within 0.5mm of that map scale. Depending on the capture source, capture method, digital update and control point upgrade, every feature instance reported has a positional accuracy within the range of 1m - 100m.Place Points included in the layer include:City - A centre of population, commerce and culture with all essential services; a town of significant size and importance, generally accorded the legal right to call itself a city under, either, the Local Government Act, the Crown Lands Act or other instruments. This point feature dataset is part of Spatial Services Defined Administrative Data Sets. City data points are positioned within the cadastral parcel in which they are located.Locality - A bounded area within the landscape that has a rural character. Locality data points are positioned within the cadastral parcel in which they are located.Region - A region is a relatively large tract of land distinguished by certain common characteristics, natural or cultural. Natural unifying features could include same drainage basin, similar landforms, or climatic conditions, a special flora or fauna, or the like. This point feature dataset is part of Spatial Services Defined Administrative Data Sets. Region data points are positioned within the cadastral parcel in which they are located.Rural Place - A place, site or precinct in a rural landscape, generally of small extent, the name of which is in current use. This point feature dataset is part of Spatial Services Defined Administrative Data Sets. Rural place data points are positioned within the cadastral parcel in which they are located.Suburb - A gazetted boundary of a suburb or locality area as defined by the Geographical Names Board of NSW. This point feature dataset is part of Spatial Services Defined Administrative Data Sets. Suburb data points are positioned within the cadastral parcel in which they are located.Town - A commercial nucleus offering a wide range of services and a large number of shops, often several of the same type. Depending on size, the residential area can be relatively compact or (in addition) dispersed in clusters on the periphery. This point feature dataset is part of Spatial Services Defined Administrative Data Sets. Town data points are positioned within the cadastral parcel in which they are located.Urban Place - A place, site or precinct in an urban landscape, the name of which is in current use, but the limits of which have not been defined under the address locality program. This point feature dataset is part of Spatial Services Defined Administrative Data Sets. Urban place data points are positioned within the cadastral parcel in which they are located.Village - A cohesive populated place in a rural landscape, which may provide a limited range of services to the local area. Residential subdivisions are in urban lot sizes. This point feature dataset is part of Spatial Services Defined Administrative Data Sets. Village data points are positioned within the cadastral parcel in which they are located.Initial Publication Date06/02/02020Data Currency01/01/3000Data Update FrequencyOtherContent 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). For current information go to spatial.nsw.gov.auData Theme, Classification or Relationship to other DatasetsNSW Features of Interest Category.AccuracyThe dataset maintains a
positional relationship to, and alignment with, a range of themes from
the NSW FSDF including, transport, imagery, positioning, water and land
cover. This dataset was captured by utilising the best available
source 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)GDA94Spatial Reference System (web service)EPSG:3857WGS84 Equivalent ToGDA94Spatial ExtentFull StateContent LineageFor additional information, please contact us via the Spatial Services Customer HubData ClassificationUnclassifiedData Access PolicyOpenData QualityFor additional information, please contact us via the Spatial Services Customer HubTerms and ConditionsCreative CommonsStandard and SpecificationOpen
