NSW Physiography Category - GDA2020 Service

Export Data  Access API

NEW

We have released a new GDA2020 version of this dataset which replaces the current GDA94 version. This updated service aligns our spatial data with the national standard, improving accuracy, consistency, and compatibility with modern positioning technologies.

The previous service will remain available during the transition period as GDA94 services are retired, but users are encouraged to move to the new GDA2020 service as soon as practical.

Content TitleNSW Physiography Category - GDA2020 ServiceContent TypeHosted Feature LayerDescription

This category is a spatial representation of geographic features as lines, points and polygons that supports multiple coordinate reference systems.

Physiography Category represents a list of classes for topographic features whose primary characteristics relate to land surface or landform. This theme includes the following feature classes: Contours see NSW Elevation Theme Distinctive Land Surface - represents areas of discrete land surface classified as:

DLSArea

• Intertidal Flat

DLSLine

•  Levee

DLSPoint

• Reef

Fuzzy Extent - features representing the approximate location of formally named landforms that have relatively indistinct name extent and are represented as points, lines and polygons FuzzyExtentArea

• Dune Like (including Dune, Sandhill and Sandridge)

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)GDA94Spatial Reference System (web service)OtherWGS84 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 Specification Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) implemented and compatible for consumption by common GIS platforms.
