General Cultural Line Features for New South Wales

General Cultural Line is a lineal man-made feature dataset from Spatial Services (DCS) defining specific cultural infrastructure types, excluding transport data. Feature types include Racecourse, BMX Track, Athletics Track, Training Track, and Cycling Track, with geometries aligned to topographic and cadastral databases where possible. This GDA94 service is scheduled for retirement, with a transition to a GDA2020 service underway.

Use Cases

• Map the distribution and length of Racecourse line features for regional entertainment facility planning.
• Analyze the spatial proximity of BMX Track and Cycling Track features to residential areas for accessibility studies.
• Integrate Athletics Track and Training Track line geometries with cadastral databases for land-use verification.
• Perform linear referencing analysis on General Cultural Line features to support infrastructure maintenance planning.

Strengths

• Dataset contains multiple specific cultural feature types (Racecourse, BMX Track, Athletics Track, Training Track, Cycling Track).
• Line geometries are aligned with authoritative topographic and cadastral databases where possible.

Limitations

• The dataset uses the GDA94 spatial reference, which is not easily consumed into modern GDA2020 environments and is scheduled for retirement.
• Specific row counts, temporal coverage, and update frequency for individual feature types are not provided.
