NSW Transport Theme

Please Note

WGS 84 service aligned to GDA94
This dataset has spatial reference [WGS 84 ≈ GDA94] which may result in misalignments when viewed in GDA2020 environments. A similar service with a ‘multiCRS’ suffix is available which can support GDA2020, GDA94 and WGS 84 ≈ GDA2020 environments.
In due course, and allowing time for user feedback and testing, it is intended that the original service name will adopt the new 'multiCRS' functionality.

Content TitleNSW Transport Theme
Content TypeHosted Feature LayerDescriptionThe Transport theme data is a representation of the land, water and air networks used to move people and goods, and deliver services, from one location to another. It includes network connectivity and characteristics such as type, name and potential restrictions on what can be moved through the network.

Data included in the Transport theme:

Roads

• Road Segment
• Road Associated Structures
• Road Associated Facilities

Aviation

• Airports
• Runway
• Helipads

Rail

• Railway
• Rail Associated Structure
• Rail associated facilities

Maritime

• Maritime Associated Facilities

Other Transport Category Data

• Aggregated Way
• Aggregated Way Segment
• Cableway - Ski Lift
• Classified Fire Trail
• Ferry route - Vehicular ferry
• Railway - Heavy Rail, Heavy Rail Siding, Light Rail, Monorail
• Road Name Extent
• Road Segment
• Crossing - Rail Bridge, Rail Tunnel, Rail Culvert, Road Bridge, Tunnel, Floodway, Road Culvert, Ford
• Traffic Control Device – Cattle Grid, Roundabout, Gate, Impediment, Level Crossing, Toll Booth
• Runway
• Transport Facility Line – Wharf, Launching Ramp 
• Transport Facility Point – Parking Area, Marina, Railway Station, Helipad, Roadside Rest Area, Roadside Emergency Telephone, Airport, Bus Interchange, Heavy Vehicle Check Station

Transport data is used for:

• Delivering emergency services
• Mapping, charting and navigation
• Planning for and delivering resources and services
• Asset management
• Infrastructure planning and development

The public road network is continuously maintained using information provided by the state and local government road authorities, the land registration process, latest available imagery and other source information available.

Roads, access tracks and fire trails data within the forest, park and reserve crown estate is maintained using data supplied by relevant custodial agencies.

Private property roads and tracks are cyclically maintained using latest available imagery.

Other features within the transport theme such as railways, ferry, aviation, crossings and traffic control devices are derived from a range of sources over time.

Spatial Services will be the reliable source of truth for this Foundation theme, providing a complete, current and accurate coverage of NSW. The objective is to integrate the best available data and undertake continuous revision to meet the requirements of key data users.

The NSW Transport theme roads data complies with most of the National Roads Working Group requirements. Continuous improvement to the data model and data content will further ensure the broader objectives are met.

Transport theme data will be enhanced by systematic improvement to the rail, water navigation and aviation data networks and infrastructure.

AccuracyThis 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.
