ACT Sports Field Locations with Asset Types and Surface Materials

Australian Capital Territory polygon data shows locations of sports fields owned or managed by the City Services directorate. Attributes include suburb, ownership, asset subtype (e.g., Australian Rules, Cricket, Netball), surface material, and field number. The dataset is maintained by the ACT Government Geospatial Data Catalogue through a works-as-executed handover process and field audits.

Use Cases

• Map public sports facility distribution based on suburb and ownership attributes.
• Analyze the prevalence of different field types (e.g., Australian Rules, Cricket, Multi-Use Courts) across the territory.
• Inventory surface materials (e.g., grass, turf) for maintenance and capital planning.
• Identify overlapping field boundaries for multi-use sportsground management.

Strengths

• Includes a detailed list of over 40 asset subtypes, specifying sports like Baseball (Junior/Senior) and multi-use combinations.
• Attributes specify ownership (City Services) and maintenance responsibility, clarifying management scope.
• Data is maintained through a formal works-as-executed handover process and field audits.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Excludes assets managed privately, by other ACT directorates, or by the Federal Government, limiting coverage.
