NSW Transport ThemePlease NoteWGS 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.Metadata Portal Metadata InformationContent TitleNSW Transport ThemeContent TypeHosted Feature LayerDescriptionThe Transport theme data is a representation of the land, water and air networks used to move people and goods, and deliver services, from one location to another. It includes network connectivity and characteristics such as type, name and potential restrictions on what can be moved through the network.Data included in the Transport theme:RoadsRoad SegmentRoad Associated StructuresRoad Associated FacilitiesAviationAirportsRunwayHelipadsRailRailwayRail Associated StructureRail associated facilitiesMaritimeMaritime Associated FacilitiesOther Transport Category DataAggregated WayAggregated Way SegmentCableway - Ski LiftClassified Fire TrailFerry route - Vehicular ferryRailway - Heavy Rail, Heavy Rail Siding, Light Rail, MonorailRoad Name ExtentRoad SegmentCrossing - Rail Bridge, Rail Tunnel, Rail Culvert, Road Bridge, Tunnel, Floodway, Road Culvert, FordTraffic Control Device – Cattle Grid, Roundabout, Gate, Impediment, Level Crossing, Toll BoothRunwayTransport Facility Line – Wharf, Launching Ramp Transport Facility Point – Parking Area, Marina, Railway Station, Helipad, Roadside Rest Area, Roadside Emergency Telephone, Airport, Bus Interchange, Heavy Vehicle Check StationTransport data is used for:Delivering emergency servicesMapping, charting and navigationPlanning for and delivering resources and servicesAsset managementInfrastructure planning and developmentThe public road network is continuously maintained using information provided by the state and local government road authorities, the land registration process, latest available imagery and other source information available.Roads, access tracks and fire trails data within the forest, park and reserve crown estate is maintained using data supplied by relevant custodial agencies.Private property roads and tracks are cyclically maintained using latest available imagery.Other features within the transport theme such as railways, ferry, aviation, crossings and traffic control devices are derived from a range of sources over time.Spatial Services will be the reliable source of truth for this Foundation theme, providing a complete, current and accurate coverage of NSW. The objective is to integrate the best available data and undertake continuous revision to meet the requirements of key data users.The NSW Transport theme roads data complies with most of the National Roads Working Group requirements. Continuous improvement to the data model and data content will further ensure the broader objectives are met.Transport theme data will be enhanced by systematic improvement to the rail, water navigation and aviation data networks and infrastructure.Initial Publication Date19/04/2020Data 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 Transport Theme of the Foundation Spatial Data Framework (FSDF)AccuracyThis 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.
