Spot Height - NSW Elevation and Depth Theme - GDA2020 Service

Access API   Export Data NEWWe 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.Spot Height - NSW Elevation and Depth Theme – GDA2020 ServiceMetadata Portal Metadata InformationContent TitleSpot Height - NSW Elevation and Depth Theme - GDA2020 ServiceContent TypeHosted Feature LayerDescriptionSpot Height is a point feature class representing individual points on the earth’s surface, the elevation of which has been related to a datum by ground or photogrammetric survey. It is a part of the NSW Elevation Theme.Elevation and Depth provides an authoritative digital representation of the Earth’s surface enabling evidence based decision making, policy development and an essential reference to other foundation datasets.Elevation and Depth underpins:Safe hydrographic, aeronautical and road navigationClimate science, including climate change adaptationEmergency management and natural hazard risk assessmentEnvironmental, including water managementDefinition of maritime and administrative boundariesDefence and national securityNatural resource exploration and exploitationData is as initially captured at 1:25 000, 1:50 000 and 1:100 000 scales from stereoscopic aerial photography.Initial Publication Date10/02/2020Data Currency01/01/3000Data Update FrequencyOtherContent 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). For current information go to spatial.nsw.gov.auData Theme, Classification or Relationship to other DatasetsNSW Elevation and Depth Theme of the Foundation Spatial Data Framework (FSDF)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.  Spatial Accuracy Horizontal: +/-1.25 @95% Confidence IntervalSpatial Accuracy Vertical: +/-0.9 @95% Confidence IntervalCalibration certification (Manufacturer/Cert.
