Cableway: Ski Lift Infrastructure in New South Wales, Australia

Spatial Services, a business unit of the Department of Customer Service NSW, provides a line feature dataset of cableways designed to transport snow skiers. The data is part of the NSW Transport Theme within the Foundational Spatial Data Framework (FSDF) and aligns with the GDA2020 national spatial standard. Data currency is listed as 01/01/3000, and the dataset was initially published on 06/02/2020.

Use Cases

• Mapping ski resort infrastructure based on described line geometries.
• Conducting spatial analysis of transport networks in alpine regions based on the dataset's theme.
• Aligning transport data with topographic and cadastral databases as mentioned in the lineage.
• Planning for infrastructure upgrades or maintenance using the geospatial accuracy specifications.

Strengths

• Aligns with the national GDA2020 spatial standard, improving accuracy and compatibility.
• Positional accuracy is specified as within 0.5mm at map scale for 90% of well-defined points.
• Part of the structured Foundational Spatial Data Framework (FSDF) for NSW.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data currency date of 01/01/3000 is a placeholder, indicating actual currency is unclear.
