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.

Metadata\u00a0Portal Metadata Information
| Content Title | Place Point -\u00a0NSW Features of Interest Category - GDA2020 Service |
| Content Type | Hosted Feature Layer |
| Description | Place point is a point feature class within the Features of interest Category.\u00a0 There is no overall accuracy reported in the database, however accuracy of the individual feature instances of each feature class can be found in the database tables. The currency of the feature instances in this dataset can be found in \u201cfeature reliability date\u201d or \u201cattribute reliability date\u201d attributes. All feature instances in this class are attributed with a planimetric accuracy value. It is expected that the 90% of well-defined points with the same planimetric accuracy are within 0.5mm of that map scale. Depending on the capture source, capture method, digital update and control point upgrade, every feature instance reported has a positional accuracy within the range of 1m - 100m. Place Points included in the layer include: 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 point feature dataset is part of Spatial Services Defined Administrative Data Sets. City data points are positioned within the cadastral parcel in which they are located. Locality - A bounded area within the landscape that has a rural character. Locality data points are positioned within the cadastral parcel in which they are located. 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 point feature dataset is part of Spatial Services Defined Administrative Data Sets. Region data points are positioned within the cadastral parcel in which they are located. Rural Place - A place, site or precinct in a rural landscape, generally of small extent, the name of which is in current use. This point feature dataset is part of Spatial Services Defined Administrative Data Sets.\u00a0 Rural place data points are positioned within the cadastral parcel in which they are located. Suburb - A gazetted boundary of a suburb or locality area as defined by the Geographical Names Board of NSW. This point feature dataset is part of Spatial Services Defined Administrative Data Sets.\u00a0 Suburb data points are positioned within the cadastral parcel in which they are located. 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 point feature dataset is part of Spatial Services Defined Administrative Data Sets. Town data points are positioned within the cadastral parcel in which they are located. 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 point feature dataset is part of Spatial Services Defined Administrative Data Sets. Urban place data points are positioned within the cadastral parcel in which they are located. 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 point feature dataset is part of Spatial Services Defined Administrative Data Sets. Village data points are positioned within the cadastral parcel in which they are located. |

| Data Theme, Classification or Relationship to other Datasets | NSW Features of Interest Category. |
| Accuracy | The 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. |
