Export Data Access 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.County - NSW Administrative Boundaries Theme - GDA2020 ServiceMetadata Portal Metadata InformationContent TitleCounty - NSW Administrative Boundaries Theme - GDA 2020 ServiceContent TypeHosted Feature LayerDescriptionNSW County is a dataset within the NSW Administrative Boundaries theme and depicts historical county divisions of the State of New South Wales. It depicts one of 141 basic divisions of the State of New South Wales, further divided into parishes, for administrative purposes, especially for management and disposal of Crown lands. County and Parish are historical layers and the information contained was gathered from Parish and County maps which are now held at State Records (digital versions can be accessed through the Historical Lands Records Viewer). Boundaries in this dataset can be updated (if necessary) after a title inspection. Features are positioned in topological alignment within the extents of the Lot and Property data for each County and are held in alignment, including changes resulting data maintenance and upgrades. NSW County is a superset of NSW Parish. This dataset contains an historical land administration boundary. The original County definition is static; however, data will move with changes to the NSW Administrative Boundaries Theme.

This dataset was captured by digitising the best available cadastral mapping 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.Spatial Reference System (dataset)GDA94Spatial Reference System (web service)EPSG:7844WGS84 Equivalent ToGDA2020Spatial ExtentFull StateContent LineageFor additional information, please contact us via the Spatial Services Customer HubData ClassificationUnclassifiedData Access PolicyOpenData QualityFor additional information, please 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.

To do this you need to add a Spatial Join.A Spatial Join is a GIS operation that affixes data from one feature layer’s attribute table to another from a spatial perspective.To see how NSW Address, Property, Lot Geometry data and tables can be spatially joined, download the Data Model Document. Data CustodianDCS Spatial Services346 Panorama Ave Bathurst NSW 2795Point of ContactPlease contact us via the Spatial Services Customer HubData AggregatorDCS Spatial Services 346 Panorama Ave Bathurst NSW 2795Data DistributorDCS Spatial Services 346 Panorama Ave Bathurst NSW 2795Additional Supporting InformationData DictionariesData Model Document. TRIM Number
