Content TitleNSW Physiography Category GDA2020 Service
Content TypeHosted Feature Layer
Description

This category is a spatial representation of geographic features as lines, points and polygons that supports multiple coordinate reference systems.


Physiography Category represents a list of classes for topographic features whose primary characteristics relate to land surface or landform. This theme includes the following feature classes:

Data Theme, Classification or Relationship to other DatasetsNSW Elevation and Depth Theme of the Foundation Spatial Data Framework (FSDF)

AccuracyThe dataset maintains a positional relationship to, and alignment with, a range of themes from the NSW FSDF including, transport, imagery, positioning, water and land cover. 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.\u00a0A program to upgrade the spatial location and accuracy of data is ongoing.
