NSW Geocoded Addressing Theme - GDA2020 Service

Export DataAccess APINEWWe have released a new GDA2020 version of our Foundational Spatial Data Framework (FSDF) datasets which 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.NSW Geocoded Addressing Theme - GDA2020 ServiceMetadata Portal Metadata InformationContent TitleNSW Geocoded Addressing Theme - GDA2020 ServiceContent TypeOtherDescriptionThe Geocoded Urban and Rural Addressing System (GURAS) is a ‘property’ based address database. Each property polygon captured within GURAS has a unique numeric identifier and contains at least one authoritative address which is sourced from local councils via the valuation of land database, also managed by LPI-Valnet. Properties may contain more than one address sourced from various other organisations.The GURAS database is commonly used by all levels of government for emergency services, computer aided dispatch systems, postal and delivery services, and to identify location. Address points are generally system generated points and do not always have a direct correlation to the dwelling location. In circumstances where there are multiple disparate lots for one property, particularly in rural addresses, the system generated address points may not reside within the correct property polygon. Owners names are not part of the GURAS database, nor does GURAS contain any personal information.The Geocoded Addressing Theme is a single source of truth for address information in NSW.GURAS helps eliminate the costly duplication of efforts where local councils, Australia Post, emergency service organizations, and other agencies and businesses previously maintained individual address databases with different creation and distribution regimes.Geocoded Addressing Data Theme includes the following feature classes:Waypoint - A WayPoint is a point located on the RoadSegment feature class for an address where the road naming attributes from both the AddressString and the RoadSegment classes are identical. Indicates the approximate entry point of for an address.Address Point - A point feature class used to spatially locate an address / address stringThe Address Point Layer includes the below subtypes:BuildingHomesteadMonumentPropertyUnit/StrataOtherPro Way - A Proway is a line that spatially connects the AddressPoint and WayPoint.The Pro Way Layer includes the following subtypes:RightLeftOtherInitial Publication Date05/02/2020Data Currency01/01/3000Data Update FrequencyDailyContent SourceData provider filesFile TypeESRI File Geodatabase (*.gdb)Attribution© State of New South Wales (Spatial Services, a business unit of the Department of Customer Service NSW).

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)OtherWGS84 Equivalent ToGDA2020Spatial ExtentFull stateContent LineagePlease contact us via the Spatial Services Customer HubData ClassificationUnclassifiedData Access PolicyOpenData QualityPlease contact us via the Spatial Services Customer HubTerms and ConditionsCreative CommonsStandard and SpecificationOpen Geospatial Consortium (OGC) implemented and compatible for consumption by common GIS platforms.
