Federal Airport Boundaries And Movement Areas

Polygons represent aircraft movement areas and airport boundaries for leased federal airports in Australia. The dataset is provided by the Department of Infrastructure and Regional Development and was last updated in April 2026. It is available in multiple geospatial formats including GeoJSON and ESRI shapefile.

Use Cases

• Analyze airport_boundary polygon shapes for land use planning and urban development.
• Map aircraft_movement_area polygons for airside operational safety and capacity studies.
• Calculate the spatial footprint of federal airport infrastructure for asset management.

Strengths

• Data is provided in multiple standard geospatial formats including GeoJSON and WFS.
• Dataset is maintained by a federal government department, suggesting authoritative sourcing.
• License is clearly defined as CC-BY-4.0.

Limitations

• No row count or file size information is available to assess dataset scale.
• Sample data and column names are unavailable, limiting understanding of specific attributes.
• The description lacks specifics on the number of airports covered or geographic completeness.
