ACT Streetlight Control Box Locations and Attributes

June 2017 onward, this point dataset shows locations and attributes of Streetlight Control Boxes in the Australian Capital Territory, owned or managed by Transport Canberra and City Services. Attributes include location description, suburb, ownership, asset sub type, number of circuits, installation date, and compliance status.

Use Cases

• Map control box locations by suburb and asset sub type for infrastructure planning and maintenance routing.
• Analyze ownership and 'maintained by' fields to audit asset management responsibilities across the territory.
• Assess AS 3000 compliance and asbestos panel status across controller boxes for safety and regulatory reviews.
• Use installation date and date last accessed to prioritize maintenance schedules for aging or infrequently serviced assets.
• Cross-reference substation number and mounting details with electrical network data for circuit management.

Strengths

• Includes detailed attributes such as asset sub type, number of circuits, and compliance status for each control box.
• Data is maintained through a formal works-as-executed handover process and field audits.
• Geographic coverage is specific to the Australian Capital Territory.

Limitations

• Data may be incomplete, with potential delays in updates to reflect as-constructed information.
• Excludes assets managed privately, by other government directorates, or federally, limiting comprehensiveness.
• Contains duplicate asset numbers where a streetlight and controller box share a column, requiring deduplication for analysis.
