Description

This service provides\u00a0GDA2020 coordinates, heights and related information for NSW survey marks that form the official State control survey network (as reported in SCIMS).\u00a0

This service supports requests in multiple coordinate reference systems.

This service controls the precision of numerical output in a manner that mirrors SCIMS Online available through the Spatial Services Portal.

The web service provides a wealth of data on each mark, including:

  • Mark type (Permanent Mark, State Survey Mark, etc.)\u00a0
  • Mark number\u00a0
  • Horizontal coordinates and their accuracy (class and order)\u00a0
  • Heights and their accuracy (class and order)\u00a0
  • Status of the mark (destroyed, restricted access, etc.)\u00a0

\u00a0
The mark type is represented using various shapes and the accuracy of the mark (both vertical and horizontal) is communicated by the colour.\u00a0

This web service allows users to easily integrate survey control mark data from SCIMS into Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) compliant spatial platforms and applications.\u00a0


Data provided by the NSW Survey Mark web service can be used in a variety of engineering and surveying applications, including but not limited to:\u00a0

  • Cadastral survey planning\u00a0
  • Flood studies and hydrographic modelling\u00a0
  • Infrastructure development
  • Site calibration at construction sites\u00a0
  • Elevation modelling\u00a0
  • Preservation of survey infrastructure.

The NSW Survey Mark web service gives users an alternative method to access state control survey data that can be incorporated into their GIS package without needing to log into SCIMS Online.

Please note that SCIMS Online is the official option for obtaining state control survey data for cadastral surveys as it offers legal traceability. SCIMS online is accessible via the Spatial portal.

AccuracyThis dataset depicts the location of survey marks based on their official GDA2020 coordinates. Survey mark positional accuracy is reported in the data fields for each mark and varies from mark to mark. Over time mark accuracy will change when new observations are added, and survey adjustments are completed.
