ACTGOV Streetlight Cable Assets: Locations and Attributes for Australian Capital Territory

ACTGOV Streetlight Cable Assets is a polyline dataset showing overhead and underground streetlight cable locations in the Australian Capital Territory. The dataset includes attributes such as location description, suburb, ownership, cable type, voltage, and status, sourced from ActewAGL's database as of June 30th 2017 and subsequent additions. Assets are owned or managed by the City Services, City and Environment Directorate.

Use Cases

• Plan excavation safety based on cable location and voltage attributes
• Map municipal electrical infrastructure based on ownership and maintenance data
• Analyze asset distribution and status based on suburb and installation date
• Identify cable types and conduits for network maintenance planning

Strengths

• Includes a spatial geometry-derived cable length for each feature
• Attributes distinguish between LOW and HIGH voltage cables and ABANDONED or IN SERVICE status
• Data sourced from a specific utility database with a known base date of June 30th 2017

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download
• Cable locations represent indicative routes rather than survey-accurate alignments
• Data may be incomplete and updates may have substantial delays
