NSW Joint Private Water Scheme Boundaries and Parcels

Early 2024 mapping of Joint Private Works Schemes in New South Wales provides spatial boundaries for Private Water Corporations and Private Water Trusts. NSW Public Works created this single GIS dataset using the February 2024 NSW cadastre and a GDA2020 datum. Collaboration involved DCCEEW (Water Group), NSW Public Works, and DPI, with DPI creating the spatial files and PDF documentation.

Use Cases

• Mapping private water infrastructure coverage based on gazetted scheme boundaries.
• Analyzing land parcel participation in shared water systems based on cadastral data.
• Planning rural water resource management based on the locations of Private Water Corporations and Trusts.

Strengths

• Spatial dataset created in early 2024 using the February 2024 NSW cadastre reference.
• Boundaries were mapped using a multi-method priority order including georeferencing gazetted maps and tracing natural features.
• Collaboration involved multiple government agencies: DCCEEW (Water Group), NSW Public Works, and DPI.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Freshness should be verified as the last update timestamp is 2026-05-28.
