NSW Geocoded Addressing Theme

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 Geocoded Addressing Theme
Content Type	Hosted Feature Layer
Description	The 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. Owner's 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 eliminates the costly duplication of effort where all local councils, Australia Post, emergency service organisations and other agencies and businesses 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 string The Address Point Layer includes the below sub types: Building Homestead Monument Property Unit/Strata Other Pro Way - A Proway is a line that spatially connects the AddressPoint and WayPoint. The Pro Way Layer includes the following subtypes: Right Left Other

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.

Standard and Specification	Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) implemented and compatible for consumption by common GIS platforms. Available as either cache or non-cache, depending on client use or requirement. Information about the “Feature Class” and “Domain Name” descriptions for the NSW Administrative Boundaries Theme can be found in the GURAS Delivery Model Data Dictionary Some of Spatial Services Datasets are designed to work together for example “NSW Address Point” and “NSW Address String Table”, NSW Property (Polygon) and NSW Property Lot Table and NSW Lot (polygons). 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 Address, Property and Lot Geometry data and Tables can be joined together download the Data Model Document. This will show what attributes in the datasets can be linked.
