Export Data Access API NSW Positioning Theme Survey Mark GDA2020 multiCRS MultiCRS service - supporting requests in multiple Coordinate Reference Systems - Information Sheet A new series of ‘multiCRS’ web services have been published to support GDA2020.  These new ‘multiCRS’ services: ·         have a spatial reference of GDA2020 ·         support alignment with GDA2020, GDA94 or [WGS 84-aligned-to-GDA2020] GIS environments,using built-in server-side transformations: o    GDA94 < NTv2-CPD > GDA2020 o    GDA94 < NTv2-CPD > WGS 84 aligned to GDA2020 o    GDA2020 < NULL > WGS 84 aligned to GDA2020      Note: ESRI software will automatically align by transforming from the sourceSpatialReference (GDA94).               Other software may need to set client-side transformations from the SpatialReference (GDA2020).      Note: Client-side transformation(s) can be used to over-ride these default transformations.The original [WGS 84-aligned-to-GDA2020] is still available, without the ‘multiCRS’ suffix. In due course, and allowing time for user feedback and testing, it is intended that the original service name will adopt this new multiCRS functionally. Please note that SCIMS Online is the official option for obtaining state control survey data for cadastral surveys as it offers legal traceability. SCIMS online is accessible via the Spatial portal.

Metadata Portal Metadata InformationContent TitleNSW Positioning Theme Survey Mark GDA2020 multiCRSContent TypeHosted Feature LayerDescriptionThis service provides GDA2020 coordinates, heights and related information for NSW survey marks that form the official State control survey network (as reported in SCIMS). This service supports requests in multiple coordinate reference systems.This service controls the precision of numerical output in a manner that mirrors SCIMS Online available through the Spatial Services Portal.The web service provides a wealth of data on each mark, including:Mark type (Permanent Mark, State Survey Mark, etc.) Mark number Horizontal coordinates and their accuracy (class and order) Heights and their accuracy (class and order) Status of the mark (destroyed, restricted access, etc.)  The mark type is represented using various shapes and the accuracy of the mark (both vertical and horizontal) is communicated by the colour. This web service allows users to easily integrate survey control mark data from SCIMS into Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) compliant spatial platforms and applications. Data provided by the NSW Survey Mark web service can be used in a variety of engineering and surveying applications, including but not limited to: Cadastral survey planning Flood studies and hydrographic modelling Infrastructure developmentSite calibration at construction sites Elevation modelling Preservation of survey infrastructure.The NSW Survey Mark web service gives users an alternative method to access state control survey data that can be incorporated into their GIS package without needing to log into SCIMS Online.Please note that SCIMS Online is the official option for obtaining state control survey data for cadastral surveys as it offers legal traceability.
