ACT Government Horse Paddock Assets with Location and Size

A polygon dataset shows the location of public horse holding paddocks owned by the ACT Government in the Australian Capital Territory. Assets are owned or managed by the ACT Parks and Conservation Service or the Environment and Sustainable Development Directorate. Attributes likely include paddock name, location description, asset sub-type, and paddock size in square meters.

Use Cases

• Map public horse agistment facilities based on the described location data.
• Analyze land use allocation for equestrian activities based on the asset sub-type attribute.
• Calculate total area dedicated to horse holding based on the paddock size (sqm) attribute.
• Identify assets managed by contractors versus directly by government based on the management description.

Strengths

• Data is provided in 10 different file formats, including CSV, GeoJSON, and GPKG, for broad accessibility.
• Attributes include specific details like paddock name, asset sub-type, and paddock size in square meters.
• Data is maintained through a formal works-as-executed handover process or in response to boundary changes.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data shows operational areas and should not be used to define legal boundaries, limiting its use for precise boundary analysis.
