River Foreshore Access Points from Western Australian Assessments

Western Australian river foreshore access points collected through state and federally funded assessment projects. The dataset provides a spatial snapshot of recorded attributes at specific times, managed by the Department of Water and Environmental Regulation. Row and column counts are unknown.

Use Cases

• Map river access point locations using spatial coordinates from the geospatial files for recreational planning.
• Analyze the distribution of access points tagged with 'Rivers Surveys' and 'Rivers Classification' for environmental management.
• Integrate foreshore condition attributes from this dataset with other water resource layers via the provided WFS or API services.

Strengths

• Data is provided in multiple geospatial formats including WFS, WMS, GEOJSON, and SHP for interoperability.
• Managed by the authoritative state Department of Water and Environmental Regulation (DWER).
• Dataset was last updated in March 2026, indicating recent maintenance.

Limitations

• The dataset represents only a temporal 'snapshot' for each location, not continuous monitoring data.
• Sample data and specific column schema are unavailable, limiting immediate analytical understanding.
• Data collection involved multiple groups over different times, potentially introducing methodological inconsistencies.
