<b>RETIRING</b>
This GD94 service is scheduled for retirement.
Please begin transitioning to the GDA2020 service and update any maps, applications, or workflows that currently reference this service.
You can access the new GDA2020 Service here:

<i>Please Note</i><i>WGS 84 service aligned to GDA94This
dataset has spatial reference [WGS 84 ≈ GDA94] which may result in
misalignments when viewed in GDA2020 environments. A similar service
with a ‘multiCRS’ suffix is available which can support GDA2020, GDA94
and WGS 84 ≈ GDA2020 environments.In due course, and allowing time
for user feedback and testing, it is intended that the original service
name will adopt the new 'multiCRS' functionality.</i>

Content TitleNSW Physiography Category Content TypeHosted Feature LayerDescription
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:
<b>Contours see <i>NSW Elevation Theme</i></b>
<b>Distinctive Land Surface -</b> represents areas of discrete land surface classified as:
<b>DLSArea</b><ul><li>Intertidal Flat</li></ul>
<b>DLSLine</b><ul><li> Levee</li></ul>
<b>DLSPoint</b><ul><li>Reef</li></ul>
<b>Fuzzy Extent - </b>features
representing the approximate location of formally named landforms that
have relatively indistinct name extent and are represented as points,
lines and polygons

Department of Customer Service NSW). For current information go to <a href="https://www.spatial.nsw.gov.au/">spatial.nsw.gov.au</a>Data Theme, Classification or Relationship to other DatasetsNSW Physiography Category of the Foundation Spatial Data Framework (FSDF)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
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:3857WGS84 Equivalent ToGDA94Spatial ExtentFull StateContent LineageFor additional information, please contact us via the <a href="https://customerhub.spatial.nsw.gov.au/servicedesk/customer/portals">Spatial Services Customer Hub</a>Data ClassificationUnclassifiedData Access PolicyOpenData QualityFor additional information, please contact us via the <a href="https://customerhub.spatial.nsw.gov.au/servicedesk/customer/portals">Spatial Services Customer Hub</a>Terms and ConditionsCreative CommonsStandard and Specification
