ACT Irrigation Area Assets with Ownership and Mechanism Types

Irrigation Areas in the Australian Capital Territory show assets owned or managed by specific government directorates. Attributes likely include location description, suburb, ownership, maintenance responsibility, asset sub-type, and water source. The dataset is maintained by the ACT Government Geospatial Data Catalogue and was last updated in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Map irrigation asset locations based on geospatial polygon data.
• Analyze ownership and maintenance responsibility for public irrigation infrastructure.
• Classify irrigation mechanisms based on the listed asset sub-types like Hunter or Rainbird.
• Identify water sources for irrigation areas, such as town water or lake water.

Strengths

• Specific asset sub-types are listed, including 10 distinct irrigation mechanisms.
• Explicitly states the government directorates responsible for ownership and management.
• Data is maintained through a formal works-as-executed handover process or field audits.

Limitations

• Row count is 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.
