Transport Facility Lines for New South Wales Including Wharves and Ramps

Transport Facility Line is a geospatial line feature class defining facilities related to transport in New South Wales, Australia. Data includes features such as wharves and launching ramps. The dataset is published and maintained by Spatial Services, a business unit of the Department of Customer Service NSW, with an initial publication date of February 6, 2020.

Use Cases

• Map the locations of wharves for maritime transport planning using the 'Wharf' feature.
• Analyze the distribution of launching ramps for recreational boating access using the 'Launching Ramp' feature.
• Integrate line features representing transport facilities into broader state-wide spatial models for infrastructure assessment.

Strengths

• Dataset covers the full state of New South Wales.
• Positional accuracy is defined per map scale, with 90% of well-defined points within 0.5mm at scale (e.g., 1m at 1:2000 scale).

Limitations

• The service is scheduled for retirement and uses the outdated GDA94 spatial reference, which may cause misalignment in GDA2020 environments.
• Specific row counts and total number of unique facility instances are not provided.
