NSW Emergency Service Facility Locations in GDA2020 Coordinate System

Spatial Services (DCS) provides a point feature dataset representing the locations of emergency service facilities in New South Wales, Australia. The dataset includes Fire and Rescue NSW urban stations and NSW Rural Fire Service bush stations. It was updated to the GDA2020 coordinate standard on May 18, 2026.

Use Cases

• Map the distribution of fire stations based on location data.
• Analyze proximity of emergency services to communities based on cadastral parcel positioning.
• Plan resource allocation for emergency response based on facility locations.
• Integrate emergency service points into broader spatial mapping projects.

Strengths

• Updated to the national GDA2020 coordinate standard, improving accuracy and compatibility.
• Data points are positioned within the cadastral parcel in which the facilities are located.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
