NSW Point of Interest Web Service

Export Data Access APINSW Point of Interest Web ServicePlease Note WGS 84 = GDA94 service This dataset has a spatial reference of [WGS 84 = GDA94] and can NOT be easily consumed into GDA2020 environments. A similar service with a ‘multiCRS’ suffix is available which can support GDA2020, GDA94 and WGS84 = GDA2020 environments. In due course, and allowing time for user feedback and testing, it is intended that these original services will adopt the new multiCRS functionality.Metadata Portal Metadata InformationContent TitleNSW Point of Interest Web ServiceContent TypeWeb MapDescriptionThe NSW Points of Interest (POI) web service allows users to search for and identify the location of features that people may want to see on a map, know about or visit. POI features are derived from features maintained within multiple themes of the NSW Foundation Data Framework (FSDF).The features included in the NSW POI web service are: community, education, medical, recreation, transportation, utility, hydrography, physiography and place. Community features include ambulance stations, art galleries, cemeteries, convents/monasteries, co-operatives, court houses, crematoriums, embassies, fire stations, gaols, graves, homesteads, libraries, lighthouses, local government chambers, museums, observatories, places of worship, police stations, post offices, nursing homes, retirement villages, rural fire stations, SES facilities, shopping centres, and tourist information centres.Education features include combined primary-high schools, high schools, preschools, primary schools, research stations, special schools, TAFE colleges, and universities. Medical features include general hospitals, psychiatric hospitals, children’s hospitals, integrated health services, multi purpose services and community medical centres. Recreation features include athletics tracks, BMX tracks, camping grounds, caravan parks, clubs, cycling tracks, dog tracks, golf courses, historic sites, lookouts, monuments, motor racing tracks, observation towers, outdoor theatres, parks, picnic areas, racecourses, ship wrecks, showgrounds, sports centres, sports courts, sports fields, swimming pools, target ranges, tourist attractions, training tracks, trotting tracks and zoos . Transportation features include airports, boat ramps, named cable cars, marinas, railway stations, slipways and transport interchanges. Utility features include filtration plants, fuel driven power stations, gas facilities, geothermal power stations, hydro power stations, rubbish depots, sewage works, solar power stations, transmission stations and wind power stations. Physiography and Hydrography include physiography: caves, cliffs, gaps / passes / saddles, headlands, mountains hills / peaks, peninsulas / spits, or plateaus / tablelands. Hydrography: named bays / inlets / basins, beaches, bores, breakwaters, dam walls, islands, locks, manmade water bodies, natural water bodies, reaches / river bends, reefs, rock awash, sandbars / shoals, springs, swamps and water falls. Place Features include cities, towns, suburbs, localities, regions and villages.This web service allows users to easily integrate NSW POI into Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) compliant spatial platforms and applications. When used in conjunction with maps and atlases, it can be a very powerful tool. The POI feature types are maintained by Spatial Services.Initial Publication Date31/07/2019Data 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 Positioning Theme of the Foundation Spatial Data Framework (FSDF)AccuracyThe dataset maintains a positional relationship to, and alignment with, the state's topographic features including natural, physical and cultural. It is divided into the four themes: Cultural, Hydrography, Physiography and Transportation. Each of these themes is made up of various Feature Classes (or layers) that contain the relevant spatial data and their associated attributes and relationships. This 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 Reference System (dataset)GDA94Spatial Reference System (web service)OtherWGS84 Equivalent ToGDA94Spatial 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.
