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:
Coastline - NSW Water Theme - GDA2020 Service
NSW Water Theme - Coastline
Please Note
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.

Content TitleNSW Water Theme - CoastlineContent TypeHosted Feature LayerDescriptionNSW Coastline data is a linear feature class defining the line of contact between a body of water and the land. In particular, the line delineating the interface between land, internal waters and the “Territorial Sea” as defined by the Seas and Submerged Lands Act - No. 161 of 1973.The coastline defining Mean High Water Mark (MHWM) does not include MHWM within estuaries.Features within coastline feature class include:
- Mean High Water Mark - the coastline defining Mean High Water Mark, it does not include MHWM within estuaries.
- Mean Low Water Mark - the coastline defining Mean Low Water Mark, it does not include MLWM within estuaries.
Water security is one of Australia’s major challenges. Key users of the hydrology data are NSW State and Local Government agencies as well as Federal Government agencies. These bodies use this data to better manage State and Local Government assets. This hydrology data provides the NSW component of the Australian Hydrological Geospatial Fabric which is a critical input to the Australian Water Resources Information System.More widespread use of the hydrology data is also found in emergency management response and recovery efforts, hazard mitigation or disaster risk reduction, climate change, natural resource assessment, environmental planning and monitoring, insurance, mining and agriculture.Spatial Services continuously updates this theme with information sourced from relevant stakeholders and custodians; by data verification from other internal and external databases; research and through Spatial Services regular cycle of updating from aerial imagery and elevation data.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:3857WGS84 Equivalent ToGDA94Spatial ExtentFull StateContent LineageFor additional information, please contact us via the
