NEW
We have released a new GDA2020 version of our Foundational Spatial Data Framework (FSDF) datasets 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 TitleState Forest - NSW Administrative Boundaries Theme - GDA2020 ServiceContent TypeHosted Feature LayerDescription
NSW State Forest is a dataset within the Administrative Boundaries theme (FSDF). It represents gazetted areas reserved for forestry purposes. The NSW Forestry Corporation is responsible for this dataset. Any changes that occur to the dataset should have a reference in the authority of reference feature class in the Land Parcel and Property theme. There is no overall accuracy reported in the database.Features are typically positioned in alignment within the extents of the Land Parcel and Property polygons changes impact this dataset.Maintained from information sourced from Office of Environment and Heritage and NSW Government Gazette notices.Initial Publication Date05/02/2020Data Currency01/01/3000Data Update FrequencyOtherContent SourceData provider filesFile TypeESRI File Geodatabase (*.gdb)Attribution©

dataset maintains a positional relationship to, and alignment with, the
Lot and Property digital datasets. 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)EPSG:7844WGS84 Equivalent ToGDA2020Spatial 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
Geospatial Consortium (OGC) implemented and compatible for consumption
by common GIS platforms. Available as either cache or non-cache,
depending on client use or requirement.Information about the
Feature Class and Domain Name descriptions for the NSW Administrative
Boundaries Theme can be found in the NSW Cadastral Data Dictionary.Some
of Spatial Services Datasets are designed to work together for example
NSW Address Point and NSW Address String (table), NSW Property (Polygon)
and NSW Property Lot (table) and NSW Lot (polygons). To do this you
need to add a Spatial Join.A Spatial Join is a GIS operation
that affixes data from one feature layer’s attribute table to another
from a spatial perspective.To see how NSW Address, Property, Lot Geometry data and tables can be spatially joined, download the Data Model Document.
