ACT Streetlight Cable Locations and Attributes

ACTGOV Streetlight Cable Assets is a polyline dataset showing overhead and underground streetlight cable locations in the Australian Capital Territory. It includes attributes such as location description, suburb, ownership, asset sub type, cable type, voltage, and installation date, sourced from ActewAGL's database as of June 30, 2017, with subsequent additions.

Use Cases

• Map cable asset sub type (Overhead Cable, Underground Cable) by suburb to analyze infrastructure distribution.
• Analyze cable status (ABANDONED or IN SERVICE) against installation date to assess network lifecycle.
• Identify ownership and maintained by attributes to model municipal asset management responsibilities.
• Filter cable type and conduit by voltage (LOW or HIGH) for electrical load capacity studies.

Strengths

• Includes cable locations from ActewAGL's database as of a specific date (June 30, 2017) with updates.
• Attributes cover administrative, technical, and status details like suburb, voltage, and installation date.
• Data is maintained through a formal works as executed (WAE) handover process or field audits.

Limitations

• Data may be incomplete and is not survey-accurate, representing indicative cable routes only.
• Substantial delays may occur in updating source data to reflect as-constructed information.
• Cables owned or managed by private entities or other government bodies may not be included.
