Its position is determined by the methodology used to input into the Topographic Database. Common methods of input include GPS, traced from the cadastre or traced from an orthorectified image.Data included in Road Segments includes:Vehicular TrackPathwayContinuity LineStandard Road On-off RampDual CarriagewayInitial Publication Date01/05/2024Data Currency01/05/2024Data Update FrequencyOtherContent SourceData provider filesFile TypeScene Layer Package (*.slpk)AttributionData Theme, Classification or Relationship to other DatasetsTransport Theme of the NSW Foundation Spatial Data FrameworkAccuracyThe dataset maintains a positional relationship to, and alignment with, the Lot and Property digital datasets. The Lot and Property data was captured by digitising the best available cadastral mapping 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 the 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 1:00000 = 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 a function of its horizon.Spatial Reference System (dataset)WGS84Spatial Reference System (web service)EPSG:4326WGS84 Equivalent ToGDA2020Spatial ExtentContent LineageData ClassificationUnclassifiedData Access PolicyOpenData QualityTerms and ConditionsCreative CommonStandard and SpecificationData CustodianSpatial Services | Department of Customer ServicesPoint of ContactSS-SDS@customerservice.nsw.gov.auData AggregatorSpatial Services | Department of Customer ServicesData DistributorSpatial Services | Department of Customer ServicesAdditional Supporting InformationOpen Geospatial Consortium (OGC) implemented and compatible for the consumption by common GIS platforms.

Fire Heterogeneity Index (FHI) - Sturt Region

Remote sensing scientists from the NSW Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water (NSW DCCEEW) Science and Insights Division have developed a new approach to mapping the landscape patterns of high severity fire, based on NSW Fire Extent and Severity Mapping (FESM). 
High severity fire impacts an ecosystem by completely scorching or consuming the canopy biomass. Such impacts can be harmful to biodiversity, although some species benefit or even depend on this level of fire impact. 
Recent advances in remote sensing of fire and innovative computation solutions by DCCEEW Remote Sensing Scientists offer accessibility to data on fire severity and landscape patterns of fire heterogeneity across broad regions.

Soil Landscapes of the Katoomba 1:100,000 Sheet

This map is one of a series of soil landscape maps that are intended for all of central and eastern NSW, based on standard 1:100,000 and 1:250,000 topographic sheets. The map provides an inventory of soil and landscape properties of the area and identifies major soil and landscape qualities and constraints. It integrates soil and topographic features into single units with relatively uniform land management requirements. Soils are described in terms of soil materials in addition to the Great Soil Group and Northcote classification systems.
Related Datasets: The dataset area is also covered by the mapping of the Soil and Land Resources of the Hawkesbury-Nepean Catchment and Hydrogeological landscapes of NSW.
Online Maps: This and related datasets can be viewed using eSPADE (NSW’s soil spatial viewer), which contains a suite of soil and landscape information including soil profile data. Many of these datasets have hot-linked soil reports. An alternative viewer is the SEED Map; an ideal way to see what other natural resources datasets (e.g. vegetation) are available for this map area.

General Purpose Water Accounting Reports - Lower Darling Catchment

NSW is the leading state in implementing standardised water resource accounting. The General Purpose Water Accounting Reports (GPWAR) adopt the Australian Water Accounting Standard 1 (AWAS 1).  The annual GPWAR is prepared for all major regulated NSW inland valleys. The reports are published following the closure of the water year. 
The annual reports provide stakeholders with consistent and transparent water resource accounting information.
Included in the GPWAR are:
•   a contextual statement summarising the climatic conditions, water resources, environmental holdings, water trading market and water resource management in the water source for the reporting period
•   a physical flow diagram illustrating changes in storage volumes and the associated inflows and outflows
•   water accounting statements presenting the opening and closing balances, and itemised changes to these balances for available water resources (water assets), licenced allocation accounts (water liabilities) and planned environmental water accounts (water liabilities)
•   disclosure notes (linked to the figures within the water accounting statements) providing detailed information of accounting components including:
      (i)   access licence account balances planned and held environmental, 
      (ii)  water account balance, 
      (iii) detailed available water determination report,
      (iv)  temporary trading by licence category,
      (v)   supplementary announcements and usage by river reach,
      (vi)  physical inflows and outflows to the system for the water year.

•   while groundwater has not been directly included in this GPWAR (aside from those processes that directly affect the regulated river), annual groundwater summary reports by water source are published separately and accessible via the department’s website.

Critical Habitat

Critical Habitat is defined under the Threatened Species Conservation Act 1995. They are areas of land that are crucial to the survival of particular threatened species, populations and ecological communities. This polygon layer contains Critical Habitat that has been declared and is now in operation. It does not include any recommendations (pending finalisation) nor does it include critical habitat where disclosing the location of critical habitat would expose the critical habitat to a significant threat eg. Wollemi Pine. The layer was last updated in 2014.
Areas of declared critical habitat under the Threatened Species Conservation Act 1995 have become the first Areas of Outstanding Biodiversity Value (AOBV) in New South Wales with the commencement of the Biodiversity Conservation Act 2016.  The Critical Habitat layer will transfer to the new title in the future. More information can be found at this link - https://www.environment.nsw.gov.au/topics/animals-and-plants/biodiversity/areas-of-outstanding-biodiversity-value/area-of-outstanding-biodiversity-value-register
Note - Planning's Environmental Planning Instruments (EPI) Critical Habitat layer in the Planning SDE database (2016), as well as the Biodiversity Values (BV) Map, only list the Little Penguin Habitat at Manly.   Both Mitchell's Rainforest Snail and Gould's Petrel Critical Habitat areas occur on NPWS Estate and are protected.

Seabed Landforms Classification Toolset

The Seabed Landform Classification Toolset is a GIS toolbox designed to classify seabed landforms on continental and island shelf settings. The user is guided through a series of classification steps within an ArcGIS toolbox to classify prominent seabed features termed ‘seabed landforms’, which characterise the morphology of the seabed surface. Seabed landforms include reefs/banks, peaks, plains, scarps, channels and depressions. Plain areas can additionally be classified into high and low features at localised and broad scales to capture features within plain surfaces. Common variables for seabed classification are utilised, including slope, bathymetric position index and ruggedness, and a series of procedures are applied to identify reef outcrops and minimise noise. The classification approach applies a whole-seascape classification which is aimed to offer a flexible and user-friendly approach to extract key seabed features from high-resolution shelf bathymetry data.
This toolset was developed using ESRI ArcGIS Desktop 10.8 and requires an Advanced licence with Spatial Analyst and 3D Analyst and extensions. It utilises scripts within the Benthic Terrain Modeler toolset (Walbridge et al. 2018) and Geomorphometry and Gradients Metrics Toolbox (Evans et al., 2014). 
Please read the User Guide and supporting documentation for information on how to run the toolset. A web explainer is available at: https://arcg.is/1Tqmv50
The Seabed Landform Classification Toolset is also available for download on GitHub (https://github.com/LinklaterM/Seabed-Landforms-Classification-Toolset/).
The toolset was developed by the Coastal and Marine Team, NSW Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water (formerly NSW Department of Planning and Environment), funded by NSW Climate Change Fund through the Coastal Management Funding Package and the Marine Estate Management Authority.

Southern Mallee Private Reserves

Reserves on Leasehold land in the Southern Mallee Planning Group Region. These Reserves are parcels where the lease conditions have been altered to ensure conservation in perpetuity. The tenure remains Western Lands Leasehold. The conditions are to prohibit grazing and actively manage the areas for conservation. These reserves and conditions were agreed to by leaseholders, the former NSW Department of Land and Water Conservation and the Western Lands Commission. The reserves are to offset clearing of other areas of vegetation for cropping by the leaseholders. The Southern Mallee Planning Group was set up under the previous Native Vegetation Conservation Act and the clearing was approved under the EP&amp;A Act. The Southern Mallee Plan specifically includes the development of a Comprehensive Adequate and Representative reserve system within the overall framework of the plan. This plan also sets targets for representation of each vegetation type in reserves.
