NSW Features of Interest Category - General Cultural Area

Export Data Access API

RETIRING 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:

General Cultural Point - NSW Features of Interest Category - GDA2020 Service

NSW Features of Interest Category - General Cultural Area

Please Note

WGS 84 = GDA94 service 

This dataset has a spatial reference of [WGS 84 = GDA94] and can NOT be easily consumed into GDA2020 environments. A similar service with a ‘multiCRS’ suffix is available which can support GDA2020, GDA94 and WGS84 = GDA2020 environments. In due course, and allowing time for user feedback and testing, it is intended that these original services will adopt the new multiCRS functionality.

Metadata Portal Metadata Information Content TitleNSW Features of Interest Category - General Cultural AreaContent TypeHosted Feature LayerDescriptionGeneral Cultural Area is a man-made polygon feature defining general cultural data feature types.Feature Types in this layer include:Building Area:Dwelling - A main place of residence. This polygon feature dataset is part of the Physiography Category. Where possible, polygon geometries of the building dwelling dataset align to the topographic and cadastral databases.Pondage:

• Swimming Pool - An enclosed or artificial pool for swimming in for public use. This does not include domestic swimming pools.
• Settling Pond - Shallow beds, usually segmented by constructed walls, for the treatment of sewage or other wastes.
• Water Filtration Bed - Shallow beds, usually segmented by constructed walls, for the treatment of water.
• Restricted Area - A restricted area designated for defense purposes.

This 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:3857WGS84 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 SpecificationOpen Geospatial Consortium (OGC) implemented and compatible for consumption by common GIS platforms.
