RETIRING

This GDA94 service is scheduled for retirement.

Please begin transitioning to the GDA2020 service and update any maps, applications, or workflows that currently reference this service.

You can access the new GDA2020 Service here:

Coastline - NSW Water Theme - GDA2020 Service

NSW Water Theme - Coastline

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 Title	NSW Water Theme - Coastline
Content Type	Hosted Feature Layer
Description	NSW Coastline data is a linear feature class defining the line of contact between a body of water and the land. In particular, the line delineating the interface between land, internal waters and the “Territorial Sea” as defined by the Seas and Submerged Lands Act - No. 161 of 1973. The coastline defining Mean High Water Mark (MHWM) does not include MHWM within estuaries. Features within coastline feature class include: Mean High Water Mark - the coastline defining Mean High Water Mark, it does not include MHWM within estuaries. Mean Low Water Mark - the coastline defining Mean Low Water Mark, it does not include MLWM within estuaries. Water security is one of Australia’s major challenges. Key users of the hydrology data are NSW State and Local Government agencies as well as Federal Government agencies. These bodies use this data to better manage State and Local Government assets. This hydrology data provides the NSW component of the Australian Hydrological Geospatial Fabric which is a critical input to the Australian Water Resources Information System. More widespread use of the hydrology data is also found in emergency management response and recovery efforts, hazard mitigation or disaster risk reduction, climate change, natural resource assessment, environmental planning and monitoring, insurance, mining and agriculture. Spatial Services continuously updates this theme with information sourced from relevant stakeholders and custodians; by data verification from other internal and external databases; research and through Spatial Services regular cycle of updating from aerial imagery and elevation data.

Accuracy	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.
