New South Wales Place Points with Planimetric Accuracy Attributes

Place point is a point feature class within the Features of Interest Category for New South Wales, Australia. The dataset includes points for cities and localities, with each feature instance attributed with a planimetric accuracy value and reliability date. Positional accuracy for points ranges from 1 to 100 meters, depending on capture source and method.

Use Cases

• Mapping city and locality centers based on the defined point locations.
• Assessing positional accuracy for spatial analyses using the reported planimetric accuracy attributes.
• Integrating place-name points with other administrative datasets using the cadastral parcel positioning mentioned.
• Transitioning spatial references from GDA94 to GDA2020 based on the service retirement notice.

Strengths

• Each feature instance is attributed with a planimetric accuracy value.
• Positional accuracy is documented within a specific range of 1 to 100 meters.
• Feature currency is tracked via 'feature reliability date' or 'attribute reliability date' attributes.

Limitations

• The service is scheduled for retirement, requiring transition to a GDA2020 version.
• Row count and column definitions are unknown, limiting suitability assessment.
• The dataset uses the GDA94 spatial reference and cannot be easily consumed into GDA2020 environments.
