The NSW Points of
Interest (POI) web service allows users to search for and identify the location
of features that people may want to see on a map, know about or visit. POI
features are derived from features maintained within multiple themes
of the NSW Foundation Data Framework (FSDF). The features included in the NSW
POI web service are: community, education, medical, recreation, transportation,
utility, hydrography, physiography and place. Community features
include ambulance stations, art galleries, cemeteries, convents/monasteries,
co-operatives, court houses, crematoriums, embassies, fire stations, gaols,
graves, homesteads, libraries, lighthouses, local government chambers, museums,
observatories, places of worship, police stations, post offices, nursing homes,
retirement villages, rural fire stations, SES facilities, shopping centres, and
tourist information centres. Education features
include combined primary-high schools, high schools, preschools, primary
schools, research stations, special schools, TAFE colleges, and
universities. Medical features
include general hospitals, psychiatric hospitals, children’s hospitals,
integrated health services, multi purpose services and community medical
centres. Recreation features
include athletics tracks, BMX tracks, camping grounds, caravan parks, clubs,
cycling tracks, dog tracks, golf courses, historic sites, lookouts, monuments,
motor racing tracks, observation towers, outdoor theatres, parks, picnic areas,
racecourses, ship wrecks, showgrounds, sports centres, sports courts, sports
fields, swimming pools, target ranges, tourist attractions, training tracks,
trotting tracks and zoos . Transportation
features include airports, boat ramps, named cable cars, marinas, railway
stations, slipways and transport interchanges. Utility features
include filtration plants, fuel driven power stations, gas facilities,
geothermal power stations, hydro power stations, rubbish depots, sewage works,
solar power stations, transmission stations and wind power stations. Physiography and
Hydrography include physiography: caves, cliffs, gaps / passes / saddles,
headlands, mountains hills / peaks, peninsulas / spits, or plateaus /
tablelands. Hydrography: named bays / inlets / basins, beaches, bores,
breakwaters, dam walls, islands, locks, manmade water bodies, natural water
bodies, reaches / river bends, reefs, rock awash, sandbars / shoals, springs,
swamps and waterfalls.Place Features
include cities, towns, suburbs, localities, regions and villages.Downloads: File GeodatabaseMetadataContent TitlePoint of Interest 3DContent TypeScene Layer/Scene Layer PackageDescriptionNSW Points of Interest (POI) allows users to search for and identify the location of features that people may want to see on a map, know about or visit.Initial Publication Date21/11/2019Data Currency19/04/2024Data Update FrequencyOtherContent SourceOtherFile TypeScene Layer Package (*.slpk)AttributionData Theme, Classification or Relationship to other DatasetsPlace Names, Transport, Cultural, Water, Physiography Themes of the NSW Foundation Spatial Data FrameworkAccuracyThe dataset maintains a positional relationship to, and
alignment with, the state's topographic features including natural, physical
and cultural. It is divided into the four themes: Cultural, Hydrography,
Physiography and Transportation. Each of these themes is made up of various
Feature Classes (or layers) that contain the relevant spatial data and their
associated attributes and relationships. The data is captured at a variety of
scales and accuracy, 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 of positional
upgrade (accuracy improvement) is currently underway. Feature heights have been
derived from LiDAR elevation sources including 1m and 2m DEMs. The data used to
create the DEMs have an accuracy of 0.3m (95% Confidence Interval) vertical and
0.8m (95% Confidence Interval) horizontal. The features vertical accuracy is
also function of its horizontal position.Spatial Reference System (dataset)GDA94Spatial Reference System (web service)EPSG:4326WGS84 Equivalent ToGDA94Spatial ExtentContent LineageData ClassificationUnclassifiedData Access PolicyOpenData QualityTerms and ConditionsCreative CommonsStandard and SpecificationData CustodianDCS Spatial Services346 Panorama AveBathurst NSW 2795Point of ContactPlease contact us via the Spatial Services Customer HubData AggregatorSpatial Services | Department of Customer ServiceData DistributorSpatial Services | Department of Customer ServiceAdditional Supporting InformationTRIM NumberThe data was created as part
