ACT Shelter Assets with Ownership and Material Attributes

A point dataset showing the locations of shelters in the Australian Capital Territory. Assets are owned or managed by City Services and the Parks and Conservation Service, with attributes including location description, suburb, ownership, maintenance responsibility, asset subtype, material, and vegetation presence. The data is captured via a works-as-executed handover process or field audits and maintained by the ACT Government Geospatial Data Catalogue.

Use Cases

• Map public shelter distribution based on location and suburb attributes
• Analyze asset ownership and maintenance responsibility for resource planning
• Classify shelter types based on asset subtype (Fixed Roof, Hut, Pergola, Sail, Screen)
• Assess infrastructure materials and vegetation presence for maintenance scheduling

Strengths

• Attributes include ownership, maintenance responsibility, and asset subtype
• Data is captured via a formal works-as-executed handover process or field audits
• Available in multiple geospatial formats including GPKG, GeoJSON, and KML

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Data may not include shelters owned privately or by other government directorates
