New South Wales Cadastral Road Parcel Boundaries

Polygon features represent dedicated public roads in New South Wales, Australia, including attributes like section number, plan label, and road width. The dataset forms the foundation fabric of land ownership, managed by Spatial Services (DCS). It is scheduled for retirement and transition to a GDA2020 coordinate reference system.

Use Cases

• Identify road type and width from attributes like 'road_type' and 'road_width' for infrastructure planning.
• Analyze parcel boundaries using polygon features to define allowable land use for zoning regulations.
• Join parcel data using the 'lot number' attribute to assess land tenure for capital access and property development.
• Map public road networks using the 'ITS title status' and 'plan number' for disaster management and emergency response planning.

Strengths

• Dataset provides the foundational digital cadastral database for land ownership in NSW.
• Includes specific attributes for each road, such as section number, plan label, and road width.
• Available via a hosted ArcGIS REST Feature Service for direct API access.

Limitations

• The service uses the GDA94 spatial reference, which may cause misalignment in GDA2020 environments.
• Dataset is scheduled for retirement, requiring users to transition to a new service.
• Specific row count, file size, and temporal coverage details are not provided.
