Transport Facility Points Across New South Wales

Transport Facility Point is a geospatial dataset defining specific transport-related facilities across New South Wales, Australia. It includes points for parking areas, marinas, railway stations, helipads, rest areas, emergency phones, airports, bus interchanges, and heavy vehicle check stations. The dataset is provided by Spatial Services (DCS) and was initially published on 06/02/2020.

Use Cases

• Analyze the spatial distribution of 'Parking Area' and 'Roadside Rest Area' points to assess driver amenity coverage.
• Model emergency service accessibility by mapping the locations of 'Roadside Emergency Telephone' features along major road corridors.
• Plan multi-modal transport hubs by identifying co-location opportunities for 'Railway Station', 'Bus Interchange', and 'Airport' points.
• Assess regulatory infrastructure for freight by examining the placement of 'Heavy Vehicle Check Station' points relative to key transport routes.

Strengths

• Dataset covers nine distinct, well-defined transport facility types, providing categorical clarity.
• Officially published and maintained by the government agency Spatial Services (DCS), ensuring authoritative sourcing.

Limitations

• The spatial reference is WGS 84 aligned to GDA94, which may cause misalignment issues in modern GDA2020 coordinate systems.
• Specific row counts, update frequency details, and precise data currency beyond the listed '01/01/3000' placeholder are unknown.
