New South Wales Pre-School Locations in GDA2020 Coordinate System

A point feature dataset of pre-school facilities in New South Wales, Australia, positioned within their cadastral parcels. The data is part of the NSW Features of Interest Category and has been updated to the GDA2020 national spatial standard. It was initially published on 29/09/2021 by Spatial Services, a business unit of the Department of Customer Service NSW.

Use Cases

• Map pre-school locations for community service planning based on the point feature data.
• Analyze spatial distribution of early childhood education facilities relative to population centers.
• Integrate pre-school locations into broader infrastructure and land-use studies as part of the Foundation Spatial Data Framework.

Strengths

• Updated to the GDA2020 national spatial standard, improving accuracy and compatibility.
• Data capture utilized sources at scales from 1:500 to 1:250,000, with positional accuracy defined by the National Mapping Council of Australia Standards of Map Accuracy (1975).
• Explicitly defined as a point feature dataset representing a specific community facility type.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data currency date is listed as 01/01/3000, which is likely a placeholder and obscures actual data freshness.
