Digital soil maps for key soil properties over New South Wales

Digital soil maps (DSMs) for New South Wales have been developed using quantitative modelling techniques that capture relationships between soil attributes and environmental factors. These maps provide statewide coverage of key soil properties, including soil organic carbon, nitrogen, pH, cation exchange capacity, sum of bases, phosphorous, bulk density, texture fractions (sand, silt, clay), and soil moisture. 
The datasets are produced at a spatial resolution of 100 m and represent three soil depth intervals (0–30 cm, 30–60 cm, and 60–100 cm), aligning with widely used Australian and international soil mapping frameworks. The modelling was undertaken using Quantile Regression Forest techniques. Validation results indicate moderate to high predictive performance, demonstrating the reliability and practical value of the maps. In addition to mean estimates, uncertainty is represented through upper (95th percentile) and lower (5th percentile) prediction limits.
The maps provide a robust, evidence-based approximation of soil properties across the State, supporting a wide range of environmental, agricultural, and land management applications. Further information and downloads are available via the NSW Environmental Data Portal (SEED) (https://www.seed.nsw.gov.au/), with interactive viewing through the DPE soil and landscape spatial viewer eSPADE (http://espade.environment.nsw.gov.au). Additional soil and climate adaptation resources are available through the Future Climate and Adaptation Hub (https://climateadaptation-hub.seed.nsw.gov.au/article/soils).

eReefs GBR1 hydrodynamics v2.0

Results from version 2.0 of the 1km-resolution shelf-scale hydrodynamic model of the Great Barrier Reef (GBR1). This model is nested within version 2.0 of the 4km-resolution hydrodynamic model (GBR4) data at the ocean boundaries, used the Bureau of Meteorology ACCESS-R model for surface atmospheric data and incorporated measured flow data from gauging stations at the river boundaries from QLD DNRM.

This model configuration and associated results dataset may be referred to as "GBR1_H2p0" according to the eReefs simulation naming protocol.

The model ran in near-real-time mode, updating daily, until January 2024 when the 2023/24 monsoon season caused damage to sensors in the catchments, and we lost access to the critical river-flow forcing dataset.

Joint Private Works Schemes

A private water scheme is an arrangement among a group of landowners to share the costs and responsibilities of establishing and maintaining a private water system, including pumps, pipelines, channels, and related infrastructure.

This asset provides the mapped boundaries of Joint Private Works Schemes in New South Wales, including the parcels within each scheme. In early 2024, NSW Public Works mapped these scheme boundaries within a single spatial (GIS) dataset, using the NSW cadastre reference from February 2024 and a GDA2020 datum.

Two types of schemes have been mapped:
1) Private Water Corporations.
2) Private Water Trusts.

The scheme boundaries were mapped using the following methods (priority order):
(i) Georeferencing images of gazetted maps to the NSW cadastre to align and match boundaries.
(ii) Following boundary descriptions in gazettal notices, with georeferencing of near-date Parish Plans and tracing of natural features from NSW Spatial Services imagery.
(iii) Using a gazetted schedule of parcels.
(iv) Referring to Parish Plans where schemes and trusts were mapped.

Collaboration: DCCEEW (Water Group), NSW Public Works, DPI. DPI created the spatial files and PDF documentation.

Water Sharing Plan




This dataset contains best endeavours aggregation and depiction of in-force Water Sharing Plans (WSP) across NSW. The data includes both water sources and management zones (where applicable), for Groundwater Sources, Unregulated River Sources, Regulated water sources and Management Zones (or a combination of these). Water sharing plans are legally binding plans made under the Water Management Act 2000.
The boundaries of these water sources and management zones are used to define areas in which specific management rules apply. As such, this data may be used to understand which water sharing plan rules apply to a specific location. The plans are in place for 10 years but may be amended within this time. This dataset is intended to be updated to include relevant updates as water sharing plans commence or are amended.

Groundwater Housing Risk

<a href="https://datasets.seed.nsw.gov.au/dataset/groundwater-housing-risk-dataset">Groundwater Housing Risk Dataset | Dataset | SEED</a>

This dataset supports the Housing Approvals Reform Action Plan in meeting housing targets across the Greater Metropolitan Region. Building projects having groundwater interaction are subject to the NSW Aquifer Interference Policy assessment and environmental protection requirements. All the groundwater-related factors that must be considered as part of planning for a building development are used as input layers—acid sulphate soils risk, contaminated sites risk, groundwater works risk, water features risk, groundwater dependent ecosystems risk and groundwater systems risk—and an overall risk dataset has been created from them. The accompanying Groundwater Housing Risk Dataset method report provides a detailed explanation of the context of the overall risk layer and the analysis of the subordinate input layers.

Water sources containing surrendered water access licences

A number of water access licences in a mix of regulated river,
unregulated river and groundwater sources have been returned to the Minister for Water under section 77 of the <i>Water Management Act 2000</i>. As at March 2025, the Minister
holds around 600 surrendered licences comprising approximately 26,000 shares of
water in 236 water sources.

The web service was developed to represent the NSW statutory
water sources which contain water access licences surrendered to the
Minister for Water. The data was extracted from the Water Licencing System,
maintained by WaterNSW, in March 2025.

The dataset includes the number of surrendered shares available within the respective water source, including licence categories (if applicable).

Quarterly personal insolvency statistics

AFSA publish official quarterly and annual personal insolvency statistics on bankruptcies, debt agreements and personal insolvency agreements for all states and territories.

From the June quarter 2023, the publication also released Greater Capital Cities Statistical Area (GCCSA) and Statistical Area Level 3 (SA3) breakdown of the number of debtors with business and non-business related personal insolvencies on a quarterly basis, using the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) Australian Statistical Geography Standard (ASGS).


Bankruptcy is a process where people who cannot pay their debts become bankrupt to receive the protection of the Bankruptcy Act 1966 and their estate is administered by a trustee. It allows for the fair distribution of property among creditors and the prosecution of dishonest debtors.

A debt agreement is an arrangement between a person who cannot pay their debts and their creditors. It is a formal arrangement under Part IX of the Bankruptcy Act. A debt agreement results from creditors voting to accept a proposal from a debtor to settle their debts. To be eligible to propose a debt agreement, a debtor must be insolvent and meet threshold levels relating to unsecured debts and assets and after-tax income.

Personal insolvency agreement (PIA): under Part X of the Bankruptcy Act, a personal insolvency agreement results from creditors accepting a debtor’s proposal to settle his or her debts. Unlike debt agreements, personal insolvency agreements are not subject to income, asset or debt thresholds.

Please see our guide to learn more about the provisional personal insolvency statistics
