New South Wales Tank Point Locations for Gas, Water, and Petroleum Storage

New South Wales, Australia, contains a point feature class defining structures used for the storage of fluids. The dataset includes tanks categorized for gas, water, and petroleum storage, with geometries aligned to Spatial Services Defined Administrative Data Sets. It was initially published on June 2, 2020, and is provided by Spatial Services, a business unit of the Department of Customer Service NSW.

Use Cases

• Mapping the spatial distribution of fluid storage infrastructure based on tank point locations.
• Analyzing proximity of gas, water, or petroleum tanks to other features or administrative boundaries.
• Supporting infrastructure risk assessments and planning based on tank type categorization.

Strengths

• Data is categorized by specific tank types (gas, water, petroleum) as described.
• Geometries are aligned with authoritative Spatial Services Defined Administrative Data Sets.
• Provides both a data export link and a REST API for programmatic access.

Limitations

• The service uses the GDA94 spatial reference and is scheduled for retirement, requiring transition to a GDA2020 service.
• Column-level documentation and sample data are unavailable, requiring inspection after download.
• Row count and dataset size are unknown, limiting suitability assessment for large-scale projects.
