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.

Metadata Portal Metadata Information
Content TitleRailway - NSW Transport Theme - GDA2020 ServiceContent TypeHosted Feature LayerDescriptionNSW Transport theme Railway represents a permanent way of having one or more rail lines which provide tracks for vehicles. A railway can be heavy rails, light rail, monorail and heavy rail siding, for example a railway, tramway or monorail.This data is held and maintained within the Foundation Spatial Data Framework (FSDF) Transport theme and includes key attributes such as railway name and on-type (e.g onground, onbridge, intunnel etc).Data in Railway includes:Heavy Rail - A track or set of tracks of iron or steel rails used for the passage of trains.Heavy Rail Siding - A short branch off a railway track, often connected at both ends to the mainline track, and used for shunting or for loading, unloading, and storing goods trucks. This line feature dataset is part of the Digital Topographic.Lightrail - A track or set of tracks of iron or steel rails used for the passage of light rail.Monorail - A railway track that consists of a single rail or beam.Transport data is used for:
- Delivering emergency services
- Mapping, charting and navigation
- Planning for and delivering resources and services
- Asset management
- Infrastructure planning and development.
Spatial Services continuously updates this theme with information sourced from relevant stakeholders and custodians, by data verification from other internal and external databases, by field investigation and research, as well as through Spatial Services’ regular cycle of updating aerial imagery.Initial Publication Date06/02/2020Data Currency01/01/3000Data Update FrequencyOtherContent SourceData provider filesFile TypeESRI File Geodatabase (*.gdb)Attribution©

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:7844WGS84 Equivalent ToGDA2020Spatial ExtentFull StateContent LineageFor additional information, please contact us via the
