RETIRING

This GD94 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:

NSW Administrative Boundaries Theme - GDA2020 Service - Overview

NSW Administrative Boundaries 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 Administrative Boundaries Theme
Content Type	Hosted Feature Layer
Description	The Administrative Boundaries theme from NSW Foundation Spatial Data Framework (FSDF) is a collection of legislative, regulatory, political, maritime and general administrative boundaries sourced from local and state boundary datasets. They include: Parish County Suburb Local Government Area State Electoral District Federal Electoral Division Mines Subsidence District NSW Parks and Wildlife Service Reserve State Forest Domestic Water Front Precinct The Administrative Boundaries theme is used to show administrative areas that represent: Voting Districts Redistributions Zoning Socio-Economic analysis Regional Planning Service Distribution Local and State Government Boundaries In addition, Administrative Boundaries can be used for analysis and to look at trends over time. Administrative boundary data in combination with geo-coded address data, demographic information and agency specific business information underpins the ability to perform high quality spatial analysis. The use of this data in combination with other data includes: Evidence-based development and assessment of government policy Providing the ability to undertake spatial accounting Regional analysis for government, health, education, business and a range of other purposes Support for emergency management Market catchment analysis, micromarketing, customer analysis and market segmentation Emergency management. Update frequencies vary for each dataset. Individual current status can be found under each spatial data profile.

Data Theme, Classification or Relationship to other Datasets	NSW Administrative Boundaries Theme of the Foundation Spatial Data Framework (FSDF)
Accuracy	The dataset maintains a positional relationship to, and alignment with, the Lot and Property digital datasets. 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. 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 NSW Cadastral 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 NSW Address, Property, Lot Geometry data and tables can be spatially joined, download the Data Model Document.
