City of Hobart BYDA Layers: Urban Infrastructure and Asset Registry

City of Hobart provides a multi-layer geospatial dataset cataloging municipal assets and infrastructure. The BYDA layers include road centerlines, building footprints, stormwater networks, cadastral boundaries, trees, and parking sensors. This collection supports urban planning, asset management, and public service operations within the Hobart local government area.

Use Cases

• Urban planning analysis based on cadastre parcel boundaries and building footprints
• Stormwater system modeling based on stormwater nodes, pipes, and branch connections
• Asset maintenance scheduling based on infrastructure cables, electrical assets, and council buildings
• Traffic and parking management based on road centre lines and parking sensors
• Environmental and urban forestry management based on significant tree areas and individual tree locations

Strengths

• Contains at least 22 distinct thematic layers covering diverse urban infrastructure
• Cross-platform presence on data.gov.au indicates official curation and public availability
• Includes both natural (trees, rivers) and built (buildings, roads, utilities) environment features

Limitations

• Critical metadata is missing: row counts, column names, and dataset size are not provided
• License is listed only as 'other', which may restrict or complicate reuse
• The 'last updated' date is in the future (2026-04-11), indicating a metadata error or placeholder value
