NEW

We have released a new GDA2020 version of this dataset\u00a0which replaces the current GDA94 version. This updated service aligns our spatial data with the national standard, improving accuracy, consistency, and compatibility with modern positioning technologies.

The previous service will remain available during the transition period as GDA94 services are retired, but users are encouraged to move to the new GDA2020 service as soon as practical.

Content TitlePlace Area -\u00a0NSW Features of Interest Category - GDA2020 Service
Content TypeHosted Feature Layer
DescriptionPlace 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.\u00a0 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 Sets

Town - 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.\u00a0 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.\u00a0 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.

Data Theme, Classification or Relationship to other DatasetsNSW Features of Interest Category.
AccuracyThe dataset maintains a \npositional relationship to, and alignment with, a range of themes from \nthe NSW FSDF including, transport, imagery, positioning, water and land \ncover.
This dataset was captured by utilising the best available \nsource at a variety of scales and accuracies, ranging from 1:500 to \n1:250 000 according to the National Mapping Council of Australia, \nStandards of Map Accuracy (1975). Therefore, the position of the feature\n instance will be within 0.5mm at map scale for 90% of the well-defined \npoints. That is, 1:500 = 0.25m, 1:2000 = 1m, 1:4000 = 2m, 1:25000 = \n12.5m, 1:50000 = 25m and 1:100000 = 50m.\u00a0A program to upgrade the spatial location and accuracy of data is ongoing.
