NEW

We have released a new GDA2020 version of this dataset which replaces the current GDA94 version. This updated service aligns our spatial data with the national standard, improving accuracy, consistency, and compatibility with modern positioning technologies.

The previous service will remain available during the transition period as GDA94 services are retired, but users are encouraged to move to the new GDA2020 service as soon as practical.

Metadata Portal Metadata Information

Content Title	NSW Physiography Category - GDA2020 Service
Content Type	Hosted 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: Contours see NSW Elevation Theme Distinctive Land Surface - represents areas of discrete land surface classified as: DLSArea Intertidal Flat DLSLine Levee DLSPoint Reef Fuzzy Extent - features representing the approximate location of formally named landforms that have relatively indistinct name extent and are represented as points, lines and polygons FuzzyExtentArea Dune Like (including Dune, Sandhill and Sandridge) Flat Like (including Flat, Plain, River Flat and Terrace) General Place Landcover Like Peninsula Like Plateau Like Slope Like Swamp Like Promontory Like Valley Like FuzzyExtentLine Beach Dune Like General Locality Range Like Valley Like FuzzyExtentPoint Beach Flat Like General Locality Headland Like Gap Like Island Like (including island and inlet) Landcover Like (including Clearing, Desert, Moor and Scrub) Mountain Like Peninsula Like (including Cape, Peninsula and Spit) Plateau Like (including Mesa, Plateau and Tableland) Sandbar Like Slope Like (including Buttress, Cliff, Escarpment, Fault, Gradient, Rock Face, Slope and Steeps) Valley Like Promontory Like

Data Theme, Classification or Relationship to other Datasets	NSW Elevation and Depth Theme of the Foundation Spatial Data Framework (FSDF) NSW Imagery and Landcover Theme of the Foundation Spatial Data Framework (FSDF) NSW Inland Waters Theme of the Foundation Spatial Data Framework (FSDF)
Accuracy	The 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. A program to upgrade the spatial location and accuracy of data is ongoing.
