NSW Features of Interest Category - Emergency Service Facilities
Please NoteWGS 84 service aligned to GDA94This dataset has a 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 Features of Interest - Emergency Service FacilitiesContent TypeHosted Feature LayerDescriptionThe Features of Interest – Emergency Services is a point feature dataset that represents the location of Emergency Services - related datasets such as Police, Fire and SES Stations which is crucial to delivery of Emergency Services to NSW.
The Features of Interest category Emergency Services is part of the Building Complex feature class and is represented as a community facility.
Features that make up the NSW Features of interest Category - Emergency Services include:
Fire Station – Urban (Fire and Rescue NSW) - The facility in which firefighting vehicles and equipment are stationed or intended to be stationed to serve urban communities. This point feature dataset is part of the Features of interest Category. Fire station (located in an urban area) data points are positioned within the cadastral parcel in which they are located.
Fire Station - Bush (NSW Rural Fire Service) - The facility in which firefighting vehicles and equipment are stationed or intended to be stationed to serve rural communities. This point feature dataset is part of the Features of interest Category. Fire station (located in bushland) data points are positioned within the cadastral parcel in which they are located.
Police Station - An office of the local police force, which may or may not have associated lock-up. This point feature dataset is part of the Features of interest Category. Police stations data points are positioned within the cadastral parcel in which they are located.
State Emergency Service (SES) - A facility for the operations of the State Emergency Services (SES). This point feature dataset is part of the Features of interest Category. SES facility data points are positioned within the cadastral parcel in which they are located.
These point feature datasets are part of the Features of Interest Category data and all the Emergency Services -related data centroids are positioned within the cadastral parcel in which they are located.
These features do not fit within one of the ten foundation spatial data themes and are therefore classified as a category. They have historically been captured by Spatial Services as part of the NSW topographic mapping program and therefore warrant inclusion.Initial Publication Date25/02/2021Data Currency01/01/3000Data Update FrequencyOtherContent SourceData Provider FilesFile TypeESRI File Geodatabase (*.gdb)Attribution© State of New South Wales (Spatial Services, a business unit of the Department of Customer Service NSW). For current information go to spatial.nsw.gov.auData Theme, Classification or Relationship to other DatasetsNSW Features of Interest Category.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 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 ClassificationUnclassified
