The NSW Rest Areas dataset provides information on rest area sites managed by Transport for NSW (TfNSW) and other authorities, including local councils and the National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS). The dataset includes details such as the rest area name, vehicle category, access direction, and different facilities, e.g. toilets, picnic tables, playground etc., that are available at each site. The dataset does not include TfNSW managed inspection bays. In February 2025, 33 additional rest areas were added to the dataset and 11 rest areas were removed. A new attribute called has_disabled_toilet has been added to the dataset. This field provides up-to-date data regarding wheelchair accessible toilet facilities at rest area sites. There have been data changes to the following attributes: access_direction, access_direction_cardinal, accessible, baby_change_facilities, bbq, boat_ramp, caravan_disposal, carriageway_configuration, category, distance_from, driver_reviver, emergency_phones, latitude, lga, lighting, litter_bins, longitude, lookout, pets_allowed, picnic_tables, playground, power_outlets, power_supply, region, responsible_authority, rest_area_name, road_number, shade, shelter, side_of_road, site_status, sports_ground, suburb, toilets, tourist_information, tree_shading, vehicle_type and water_supply_type.
