<b>RETIRING</b>
This GDA94 service is scheduled for retirement.


Please begin transitioning to the GDA2020 service and update any maps, applications, or workflows that currently reference this service.




You can access the new GDA2020 Service here:

<b>NSW Features of Interest Category - Place Area</b>

Please Note<b></b>


WGS 84 = GDA94 service 

This dataset has a spatial reference of [WGS 84 = GDA94] and can NOT be easily consumed into GDA2020 environments. A similar service with a ‘multiCRS’ suffix is available which can support GDA2020, GDA94 and WGS84 = GDA2020 environments. In due course, and allowing time for user feedback and testing, it is intended that these original services will adopt the new multiCRS functionality.

Content TitleNSW Features of Interest Category - Place AreaContent TypeHosted Feature LayerDescriptionPlace Area is a polygon feature class defining a named place.Themes included in the Place Area include:Region - A region is a relatively large tract of land distinguished by certain common characteristics, natural or cultural. Natural unifying features could include same drainage basin, similar landforms, or climatic conditions, a special flora or fauna, or the like. This polygon feature dataset is part of Spatial Services Defined Administrative Data Sets.  Where possible, polygon geometries of the region dataset align to Spatial Services Defined Administrative Data Sets.Locality - A bounded area within the landscape that has a rural character. This polygon feature dataset is part of Spatial Services Defined Administrative Data Sets. Where possible, polygon geometries of the locality dataset align to Spatial Services Defined Administrative Data Sets.City - A centre of population, commerce and culture with all essential services; a town of significant size and importance, generally accorded the legal right to call itself a city under, either, the Local Government Act, the Crown Lands Act or other instruments. This polygon feature dataset is part of Spatial Services Defined Administrative Data Sets. Where possible, polygon geometries of the city dataset align to Spatial Services Defined Administrative Data Sets.Village - A cohesive populated place in a rural landscape, which may provide a limited range of services to the local area. Residential subdivisions are in urban lot sizes. This polygon feature dataset is part of Spatial Services Defined Administrative Data Sets. Where possible, polygon geometries of the village dataset align to Spatial Services Defined Administrative Data SetsTown - A commercial nucleus offering a wide range of services and a large number of shops, often several of the same type. Depending on size, the residential area can be relatively compact or (in addition) dispersed in clusters on the periphery. This polygon feature dataset is Spatial Services Defined Administrative Data Sets. Where possible, polygon geometries of the town dataset align to the Spatial Services Defined Administrative Data Sets.Suburb - A gazetted boundary of a suburb or locality area as defined by the Geographical Names Board of NSW. This polygon feature dataset is part of Spatial Services Defined Administrative Data Sets.  Where possible, polygon geometries of the suburb dataset align to Spatial Services Defined Administrative Data Sets.Urban Place - A place, site or precinct in an urban landscape, the name of which is in current use, but the limits of which have not been defined under the address locality program. This polygon feature dataset is part of Spatial Services Defined Administrative Data Sets.  Where possible, polygon geometries of the urban place dataset align to Spatial Services Defined Administrative Data Sets.Rural Place - A place, site or precinct in a rural landscape, generally of small extent, the name of which is in current use. This polygon feature dataset is part of Spatial Services Defined Administrative Data Sets. Where possible, polygon geometries of the rural place dataset align to Spatial Services Defined Administrative Data Sets.Initial Publication Date06/02/02020Data Currency01/01/3000Data Update FrequencyOtherContent SourceData provider filesFile TypeESRI File Geodatabase (*.gdb)Attribution©

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 <a href="https://customerhub.spatial.nsw.gov.au/servicedesk/customer/portals">Spatial Services Customer Hub</a>Data ClassificationUnclassifiedData Access PolicyOpenData QualityFor additional information, please contact us via the <a href="https://customerhub.spatial.nsw.gov.au/servicedesk/customer/portals">Spatial Services Customer Hub</a>Terms and ConditionsCreative CommonsStandard and SpecificationOpen
