New South Wales Transport Infrastructure And Networks

A geospatial dataset representing the land, water, and air transport networks in New South Wales, Australia. It includes network connectivity and characteristics such as type, name, and restrictions for roads, railways, aviation, and maritime facilities. The dataset is provided by Spatial Services (DCS) and is scheduled for retirement as users transition to a newer GDA2020 service.

Use Cases

• Analyze road network connectivity and characteristics like road name and segment type for routing optimization.
• Map aviation infrastructure locations such as airports, runways, and helipads for emergency service planning.
• Identify railway types (Heavy Rail, Light Rail, Monorail) and associated structures for public transit analysis.
• Locate maritime facilities like wharves and launching ramps for coastal logistics and development studies.
• Classify transport facility points including parking areas, railway stations, and bus interchanges for urban mobility research.

Strengths

• Detailed categorization covering roads, rail, aviation, and maritime transport modes.
• Includes network connectivity data essential for spatial analysis and routing.

Limitations

• The dataset uses the GDA94 spatial reference, which may cause misalignment in modern GDA2020 mapping environments.
• The service is marked as retiring, indicating potential future unavailability and requiring migration to a new service.
