ACTGOV Artwork Assets: Locations and Attributes of Public Art in Canberra

Artwork locations in the Australian Capital Territory are mapped in this point dataset. Assets are owned or managed by the City Services, City and Environment Directorate (CED) and Parks and Conservation Service. Attributes likely include location description, suburb, asset sub type, purpose, and material.

Use Cases

Strengths

• Multiple download formats are available, including GPKG, GeoJSON, CSV, and an ArcGIS REST API.

Limitations
