ACTGOV Dam Wall Assets: Locations and Attributes in Australian Capital Territory

A polyline dataset shows the locations of Dam Walls and Weirs in the Australian Capital Territory. Assets are owned or managed by the City Services, City and Environment Directorate (CED). Attributes likely include location description, suburb, ownership, maintained by, asset sub type, dam code, storage area, and material.

Use Cases

• Map water retention infrastructure based on asset location and type.
• Analyze asset ownership and maintenance responsibilities based on ownership and 'maintained by' attributes.
• Assess dam storage capacity based on the storage area attribute.
• Identify infrastructure materials for maintenance planning based on the material attribute.
• Filter assets by suburb for local infrastructure audits.

Strengths

• Dataset is maintained through a formal 'works as executed' handover process or field audits.
• Attributes include specific fields for ownership, maintenance, and material.
• Data is available in multiple geospatial formats including GPKG, GeoJSON, and KML.

Limitations

• Row count and dataset size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to data_gov_au, focusing only on ACT Government-managed assets.
